Abstract
Nothing stands still, everything is in constant flux and
without an iota of doubt one can not step into the same river
twice.1
This paper explores the phenomenon of insurgency in
Pakistan in historical and comparative perspective. The critical
appraisal of recent events in the region particularly on both sides
of the Durand Line will help in understanding the nature,
manifestations and implications of this imbroglio. Since Saur
Revolution in Afghanistan in 1978 some important
developments took place in this area of Asia for instance the
Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, Afghans resistance to that
invasion, disunion of the Soviet Union, war against terrorism,
drug trafficking and political instability. It will be worthwhile to
see the impact of these developments on the state and society of
Pakistan with focus on militancy, insurgency, extremism,
destabilization and terrorism. What kind of push and pull
galvanized external and internal threats to sovereignty and
territorial integrity of Pakistan. It is an attempt to analyze the
causes and remedies of the problem Pakistan is facing in this
point in time.
