For past twenty years, I have been perplexed with the question, why military has become an inalienable part of political and social life in Pakistan? On countless occasions, a democratically elected government was over thrown in bloodless coup and head of military headquarter at Rawalpindi became the ruler of Pakistan in uniform. In the last eight years reign of General Pervez Musharraf the military seems to be more involved in Pakistan social life than under past dictators. The militarization of Pakistani society began in the early days of its nascent independence. Jinnah’s death and infighting in the political circles between the Punjabis, Pathans and Mohajirs robbed the society of its credentials. The internal instability emboldened Ayub Khan to capture power in 1956 by using his army brass. His successor Yahya Khan, known for his regimes brutality against Bengali Muslims, was the only leader to surrender power to democratically elected government after Pakistan’s defeat in 1971 war with India. But the Zulfikar Ali Bhutto government was disposed after five years none other than its favorite military commander General Zia-ul-Haq. Zia, to divert public attention from national problems, took help of radicals and Pakistan moved first towards Islamisation. The consequence is now felt in the support by Pakistani society for the Taliban and global terrorism. The roots of military in Pak system was so strong that the democratic governments in post-Zia period failed to check the rise of military supra-authorities. Since the takeover by Musharraf overthrowing Nawaz Sheriff , Pakistan seem to be fallen in to the trap of military dictatorship. Now people are eager to join army for power and money. The Pakistani press is heavily censored and individual freedom is unjustly curtailed. Voices against the regime are being put down with a heavy hand. Regimentation set to take after social ethics and values. Since last couple of days Pakistan is boiling. The sacking of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court on flimsy grounds has led to countrywide commotion. Pro-military elements are stoutly flaunting laws without any punishment. Intolerance is growing. The social and political complexities generated by the military rule in Pakistan are driving the nation towards failure. Violence became the order of the day and constitution looks redundant. Narcotics trade involving military commanders is set to engulf the youth. It is really dismay for me to see that majority in Pakistan has forgotten what is democracy and militarisation is leading towards militantisation of Pakistan.
