Abstract
The main objective of this paper is to re-contextualize the civil military relations
from 2008 to 2013. While detailing the Civil-military relations (CMR) in Pakistan
the paper has tried to analyze its impact on society as well. The underlying
hypothesis of the study is that civil-military relations in Pakistan have generally
remained unpleasant. There is an impression that military has often tried to
transgress its limits and meddled in the affairs of civil administration to punish the
corrupt civilians for their corrupt practices. The civilian governments, many of
which have taken birth from the womb of the military, try to bring it under their
subordination after coming into power on the premise that the constitution is
supreme and all the organs of the state including the military, should follow it.
This article also discusses the incidents which created unpleasantness between the
civil and military leadership from 2008 till 2013. The paper analyzes the impact of
disturbed CMR on the plight of the common man.
