These monarchs have nothing to do with Muslims they are just there to serve their own interest.
Pakistan have to become economically independent and should stop begging from other countries.
Well, it is long story. In 60's Pakistan was doing great economically and it was not dependent on anyone rather it was looked at as a model for development and topping its neighbours in all economic indicators, then happened 71 and ZAB. I don't think 71 really effected Pakistan's economy in an adverse way because cessation of east Pakistan also reduced the load of more than half of the population and eliminated the overhead of running a two part-country separated by a thousand miles of the enemy's land. However, ZAB's unthoughtful nationalisation dealt a bigger blow to the economy but still if he was allowed to continue, he would have rectified it but he was overthrown by the Zia-ul-Haq on the behest of USA and that's where the real dependency started. Zia not only reversed ZAB's policies but he bifurcated the society into extremes. Wahabism was introduced to fuel the jihad-e-Afghanistan and plethora of madaris were opened by deobandis and wahabis without any oversight by the govt and they could teach anything.. which increased the intolerance in the society. Groups like Sipah-e-Sahaba were created and those had nothing to do with jihad in Afghanistan rather settling petty scores with Shias or any other sect who did not agree with their extremist ideology.
Zia-ul-Haq also promoted hypocrisy by promoting symbolism and ritualistic aspects of the religion over the core... for example, people taking bribes but performing hajj and umras were considered as respectable and people started using more and religious terms and other stuff to make up for the corruption they were engaged... this mindset forms backbone of PMLn today so another evil thing Zia did to Pakistan was to create PMLn and MQM just to counter PPP in Punjab and Sindh (at least Karachi).
PMLn was corrupt right from the get go while MQM had extremist and terrorist tendencies so both dealt severe blows to the country's economy. MQM destroyed the business in Karachi while NS looted in Punjab and centre but it was all "good" because both of these parties supported the dictator and the establishment behind him and also a lot dollars were flowing in from USA and GCC and hence the country became economically dependent on external aid. Uncontrolled and unsystematic arrival of the millions of refuges with their own extreme culture hiding among them many were anti-Pakistan terrorists and the corrupt & incompetent establishment did not do anything to control the movements of refugees and they penetrated into the country and exploited the week and corrupt system. Terrorist attacks and extremism in the society further reduced the businesses and stopped the FDI.
And then the dictator was killed and the establishment started the musical chair of power between NS and BB, both taking bites on the economy in their turns and establishment getting its own chunk while the poor Pakistani toiled in the farms and streets to provide for them but since that was not enough so each successive govt started to take loans to fund their corruption and the three year grade 21 officers were not bothered as long as their cut was guaranteed.
By the time, BB and NS had established the links with the foreign establishments and they were getting less and less controllable by the local establishment and more & more corrupt.
Then uncle sam had planned the next round of crusade hence the divide between the civil and mil leaderships was exploited and enters Musharraf. It was kind of a reset but for a brief moment but then he got moulded and started to play like a good puppet and let the corrupt politicians surround him to provide a legitimacy to his illegal action and in return he allowed them to take their bites as long as they supported him though he did many good things as well but on the whole his decisions were disastrous i.e. mainly joining the WOT and two NRO / deals.
Now, establishment has learnt some lessons from its mistakes and hence Pakistan is on the right path but the establishment has the baggage of the past and corrupted and compromised system..especially the judiciary & bureaucracy.
