Pakistan is a South Asian country and western neighbour of India. It was created in 1947 after being partitioned from India during independence. Founded as a Muslim-majority state, its early years were shaped by leaders like Muhammad Ali Jinnah, its founding father and first Governor-General, and Liaquat Ali Khan, its first Prime Minister.
The country has experienced periods of military rule, political instability, and economic challenges. Currently, Pakistan faces severe economic stress, marked by high inflation and external debt.
With India, although it shares a common past, and the water of the Indus and tributaries, it shares strained relations over longstanding border disputes. Pakistan has fought three wars with India, with border tensions persisting over Kashmir and historical grievances, including the creation of Bangladesh in 1971, further straining relations.
The premise on which the entire article has been written is wrong. Formation of party, or so-called mainstreaming in a set up that is conducive for radicals to thrive, does not automatically lead to acceptance of democracy as a form of governance. Nazy Party was also floated, what happened thereafter the world knows. Similarly, Stalin’s Communist Party of Soviet Union also saw one of the worst phases unfolding in the history of mankind.
