INTRODUCTION

Truly independent state is a meaningful expression which may be defined from different aspects such as socio-cultural, political, economic, ideological, internal basis and completely free from external pressure.

Internally a state may be considered independent in true sense if it maintain its own socio-cultural value system without any pressure emerging from a society which is pluralistic culturally and diversified socially.Rising population declining literacy, emerging health issues, emerging difficulties in health facilities or such problems which make a state socio-culturally weak in fulfilling its requirement for being independent.

Economy plays significant role i the development of society which ultimately leads to the formation of welfare state either over economic resources or continued economic stagnation makes a state dependable to both internal and fluent community and external economic resources. For example if a state economically weak , it may bent to the economic tycoons for privatisation of institutions and which ultimately may dominate the government affairs making the affairs weak.

Similarly the external resources help makes the state weaker in a sense that it has to surrender many of its national policies making under the influence of the donor country.This makes the state weaker and dependable to greater economic power.



Politically a state remains under the clutches of dependency both internally and externally particularly when it is instable. Political instability may have many reasons such as dearth of leadership , dearth of absence of national political parties, emerging socio-cultural and economic issues , failure of national integration and economic issues and above all continuation of traditionalism based on its political culture and political socialisation. This also makes a state weaker and therefor internally dependent state and dependent state because of its internal forces automatically becomes dependent to externally.

The above analysis therefore shows that weakness of a state make it dependable internally as well as externally hence it becomes necessary to examine a state to be truly independent that we analyse its socio-cultural , economic and political abilities on in internal and external basis to see its weakness and strengths.


Pakistan may be considered as a state which does not fit into the above framework and therefore stand as not a true independent state.It may be listed as a true independent state with taking its weaknesses which are mentioned above.
