Well it's one institution which has held most power since the independence, and its mostly used by a few people to save their own skin but have gone spectacularly wrong every single time
47 - 58
After the death of Mr Jinnah & Liaquat Ali Khan, it left a giant vacuum that other politicians couldn't really unite both Eastern & Western Pakistan, the majority of the population was not educated enough to actually lead itself, so few people in power high-jacked the whole process.
The Late 50s & Early 60s
Iskander Mirza & Ayub Khan ERA, Mirza was the main person who pushed Pakistan to this road, To keep his power, Mirza brought Ayub, Enforced Marital Law,
They tried with signal party rule and a few other experiments but didn't work by that time, so Mainly Pakistan was under martial law in that time, which weaken political parties, Judicial system hence there was no check and balance which meant stronger kept getting stronger and for weaker we already where this will lead to. and in the end, last his own seat to Ayub
65
65 Elections, Ayub rigged the system to stay in power, and Lady Fatima lost the election tried lawsuit didn't work, she passed away in 67 only God knows if it was a natural cause or was assassinated.
65 War
No matter where both countries stand on who won the war. It did give a lot of heroes to Pakistan from the military but the institution did lose some of its support, meanwhile in 60s Bhutto became a major political figure in Pakistan & the International stage. Would suggest reading up on him & his involvement with US, China , India, Germany & Poland
70s
General Yayha is in power, 70s Election happens the majority of votes are in the favour of Mujib, while PPP wins the majorityof seats in West Pakistan. and for the first time in the history of Pakistan, Pakistani generals actively work to go against the people of Pakistan, and try to Crush the Awami League and its supporter, that started independence movements, While India had its own plans, Mujib was charged with treason, Bhutto started blaming Yahya for the screw-up, he was charged for Treason as well.
Gone fast forward a bit
Bhutto Brings Zia in power, as he took he was a weak general.
Zia kills Bhutto, to keep PPP in check, Zia dismantles PPP and brings Nawaz's Family in Power
Zia dies, Benzair is in action, Military is trying to sabotage her Campaigns. ( forget about what happened in Karachi this time by the military )
Nawaz gets overthrown by Musharraf. ( Nawaz Clan attacks Courts, Bribes were given openly )
Kiyani Supports Zardari busy time for Pakistan ( Sindh is given to PPP in a platter )
Nawaz is back in power ( Raheel is busy with WOT in Pakistan, goes hard against some elements after the attack on Peshawar ) ( They bring favorites in selection positions to control Punjab as they see fit )
A week PTI comes into Power since all is in stalemate as neither PTI is strong enough to make actual change nor other parties have any unity to overthrow the government.
Uncle Sam & military leadership get involved PTI is overthrown, as IK won't follow the SO CALLED SCRIPT LAID BY the Establishment.
Pakistan has seen some development whenever the military has controlled the Centre, but they systematically made sure Courts, Police, NAB, Media, and all other organizations are run by corrupt people as well, as they won't go against the higher order.
Thanks to Social Media Pakistani people are able to see and hear the other side even when there is a media blackout forced by the establishment.
you gotta understand one very simple point, Pakistan has been fighting WOT for over a decade why has Pakistan never made a move against who fund these organization in Pakistan, never went against these Islamist parties, never went against who train these people, be it India, Afghanistan, US or all the world, Answer to this question is very simple these things keep Pakistan military relevant, Why they are running all kind of side business in Pakistan, heck the biggest enemy of India, Pakistan military sell its CEMENT
I mean its under a different brand name but isn't that same military, You name any business its run by the Military in Pakistan, just few examples, giant construction companies, giant food companies, Steel mills, insurance companies, banking system, Housing Societies heck Airline military is involved.
Somewhere something is wrong. Until all the leadership of the Pakistani military who ever involved in coups in Pakistan no matter how old they are, brought to justice and punished for the crimes this will never change, Pakistan will always stay in this limbo.
