It was made clear at the time of inception of Pakistan by the founding
father, Mohammad Ali Jinnah, and Pakistan’s military officers that the
military would remain aloof from politics. This study investigates that
why this “aloofness” of the military in politics could not be maintained
from 1947-1958. The study takes two factors responsible for the active
role of the military in politics_ security threats from India and
Afghanistan to Pakistan in the early years after establishment of
Pakistan and failure of political parties in Pakistan to evolve a
democratic political structure and deliver according to the demands of
the masses. The current study will discuss the role played by Pakistan
military in politics and society after analyzing security threat and
failure of political parties to deliver that provided a vacuum to the
military to become a major decision maker in Pakistan politics and
society
