Abstract
The caste system, or 'Baradari,' is a complicated web of socioeconomic and political relationships. The 'Baradari' system has deep origins in Pakistani politics and has changed over time. The function of cast system in decisive socio-political reality and municipal elections conducted in Punjab was investigated inside this research. We attempted to stress the impact of cast, or 'Baradari,' on Pakistani politics and voting behaviour in this study. The survey research method was used to obtain data for this study. The research participants were chosen using a convenient sampling procedure. The questionnaire was completed by 200 people in total. We discovered that the 'Baradari' system is really effective. We discovered that Punjab's powerful 'Baradari' system has a significant impact on general voting behaviour. Various 'Baradari' organisations back their own cast's candidates. As a result, selecting candidates who do not have 'Baradari' backing is extremely difficult, especially in rural areas. Although there has been a change in Pakistani people's conduct in reaction to the crisis that is emerging in the country on a daily basis. Many aspects of Pakistan's political culture have changed in the modern age.
