Political History Of Pakistan
The story begins soon after the creation of Pakistan in 1947. The country's founding father Muhammad Ali Jinnah was faced with a rather awkward fact. They were almost as many Muslims if not more in India than they were in this newly created country in Pakistan. So it is quite obvious that Janov is very conscious of this fact. When he delivered his famous speech on the 11th of August 1947 clearly stating that religion has nothing to do with the business of the state.
.
Just two years later in Objectives Resolution was passed which was supposed to be a summary of the final constitution and just desperate a huge chunk of it came from the work of a man who during the Pakistan Movement and actually denounced General the chief Jamaat e Islami and an Islamic scholar the alarming to the contrary to common belief.
He wasn't just and under Islamic cleric he was a well-dressed and prolific journalist and author. Not only did he challenge the Muslim nationalists of the likes of Gina Martin he had also managed to offend many of the Bundi and bring the squatters. In the 1956 Constitution changed the name Republic of Pakistan to Islamic Republic of Pakistan. It did not come as a surprise to many.
In 1958 President Iskander Mirza who wasn't happy with the Constitution terming it as a selling of Islam for political ends conspired with the military chief a pawn and dismissed the assembly and the country's first martial law was imposed just 20 days later. Mirza himself was dismissed by Yobe and forced to leave the country in 1962 a Ube brought a new constitution that highlighted the regime's understanding of Pakistan's nationhood to being a Muslim state written modern and reformist spirit of Islam would guide the country's politics and society.
The parties of the left like the Army National Party opposed him on the basis of his policies with the capitalist outlook and religious parties like Jamaat e Islami opposed him for his more liberal policies.

The delay in the handing power to the Bamiyan neek saw the eruption of a full scale war in Pakistan. This war resulted in East Pakistan becoming the independent Republic of Bangladesh. In December 1971. The power was handed over to the elected to guard the Bhutto's party the Pakistan People's Party. It was in 1972 that Pakistan studies became a compulsory subject in schools.
Although the Bhutto regime was populist socialist and largely secular in 1973 it managed to get a consensus from all parties to unveil a new constitution that reintroduced Pakistan as an Islamic republic. In 1976 nine party alliance of religious and anti Bhutto's secular parties united under the umbrella of the Pakistan National Alliance the BNA. In 1977 the Podell regime met the main religious leaders of the BNA belonging to GA. The Jamiat Islam and the Jamiat Olma Pakistan and agreed to make Friday the weekly holiday instead of sending Yalda agreed to ban the consumption and sale of alcohol and close down all the nightclubs and bars. But this did not save him from receiving another shock. In July 1977 his own gender adopted him and then arrested him which led to a shameful trial of his hanging. Zia almost immediately got down to the business of radically transforming the ideological complexion of Pakistan starting with the ban of any mention of Genise famous speech of Lovenox 1947. Soon Jeannette's famous motto Unity Faith discipline was changed to face unity discipline and placing face before the others. Religion was the perfect kind of excuse for a dictator flexes muscles at that time especially in a country where the upper and middle classes were Trever to oil rich Arab countries had confused the power of the petrodollar with the power of the strands of faced
The greatest tragedy of Zias policies was the birth of a mindset that refused to recognize the monthly ethnic and sectarian makeup of the country and instead offered a rather complex stiffs and artificial understanding of the fate. This promoted and inelastic and an entirely narrow minded Strand's face pushing them from the fringes of society into the mainstream and in the process retarding the natural evolution.
Pakistan's multicultural adductor and society it also offended various Muslim sects and subsets creating serious sectarian tensions. In 1988 unclear Bright Day a special VIP 730 Hercules took off from behoved airport. Two minutes later the dove nose first into the desert exploding in a ball of fire
In it along with other top rated Pakistani officials was Ad-Hoc. No one survived. Soon the general elections were held and Benazir Podolsk BBB became the first woman prime minister in the history of Pakistan

Ever since I was a kid I have heard my dad saying this country is going to treat the good times he had the same thing from his dad and his dad heard the same words from his. I just one wish on my mind. I wish I'll be able to tell my kids something else that this country is on its way towards stability and development. I was saying tell them that they should be proud of being the citizens of a developed nation and be genuine broad Pakistan's.Thank You!
