In Pakistan
since her inception a struggle between forces, which aspire to see
Pakistan developed it’s a democratic polity and those who
prefer an authoritarian, system has continued to persist. In the
past fifty eight years, the Pakistani elite and the political system
that we should like to have for the country. During the last fifty
eight years we can see that military has intervened the political
system of our country.The fault does not lie with the army but it
lies in our governmental setup. People still do not understand the
meaning of democracy and good governance due to the high rate of
illiteracy and lack of political bent of mind. The misrule and the
corruption of the “democratically elected rulers” and
the repeated intervention of military never allowed the true spirit
of democracy to strengthen its roots in Pakistani soil. Before we
discuss the cause of the failure of democracy in Pakistan, we must
understand the meaning of democracy. It is the wrong conception
that the democracy is the western phenomenon, but we find Islam
gives us the true explanation. The Holy Quran clearly asks to holy
mutual consultation and then take a final decision. And when some
decision is reached, we should trust God and stick to the decision.
It is our hard luck that non-Muslim adopted the democracy started
and introduced by Islam and are ruling the world. We, on the other
hand are leading a wretched life on account of internal differences
and selfishness.
