Abstract
A commonly accepted definition of the democracy is; “Rule of the majority by the
supreme power vested in the people and exercised by them directly”. The democratic
government may remain in power until and unless people repose the confidence over it.
In Pakistan the main reason of failure of the democracy is that, it is generally against the
social behavior of Pakistan. Just because of this the democracy could not come around in
Pakistan, yet people cannot be incriminated for the same. The history is witnessed that
Pakistani people had supported all social movements having collective ambitions but
unluckily after freedom no political party or leadership was available to Pakistanis which
could do something for them. Soon after freedom bureaucrats had prevalence in the
government due to this the overall control remained in the hands of Governor General or
non-representatives. So, democratic institutions could not attain freedom from them. Undoubtedly from the beginning the Pakistan Army attained a dominating role in the system
of government and in the field of politics and during the last 60 years they remained in
rule for more than a half of the tenure and the political governments were never allowed
to take any step freely. In the current scenario Pakistan should have to pass through a
democratic way which was stopped by the Armed forces and bureaucracy by adopting
different means.
