Conclusion:
Democracy is the most powerful form of government. It is also regarded as the
significant form of government. It requires active participation of people in the
decision-making process. Without public collaboration, democracy cannot flourish
properly. It is the most favorable foam of government as well. Democracy is the much
used political thought as a part of today's reality. Reasonable races must best critical of
this sort of government. This appointive procedure ought to be completed under the
amazement of the establishment, the common and political rights, the tenet of laws,
and the opportunity of people.

Pakistan is a country whose foundations were being made on the basis of democracy. In
1947, when Pakistan got independence, the first democratic government was being
established. This was the pleasant dream but unfortunately was being dented various
times by the generals of Pakistan Army, this was being done by imposing Martial Law
end to the democratic governance. The main reason of Martial laws due to the
corruptions in democratic governments when they found unfair means then naturally
people demanded to have military generals so that their country can lead to the path
of success and prosperity.

The main causes of failure of democracy in Pakistan are summarized as follows:


Overdeveloped state structure, political instability, military intervention, massive
corruption, lack of accountability, weak infrastructure, feudal dispensation, institutional
crises, constitutional crises, strong bureaucracy, and low-level of political socialization,
extremism, weak civil society and absence of mature leadership. The monopolization
and centralization of power have creating a lot of problem for Pakistan. It creates
hurdles in the way of smooth democracy.

Massive corruption paved the way for military to intervene in the internal affairs of
country. After independence, massive corruption started to great extent. It gave the
path to military elite to rule Pakistan. Pakistan has faced the challenge of lack of
accountability. This is main reason of democratic downfall. Weak infrastructure of
Pakistan has created a lot of issues.

To finish up, we can say that if democracy needs to restore in the genuine sense, the
substance of this system i.e. strengthening of overall population ought to be restored.
This strengthening must be in all fields i.e. monetary, social, political or more all
instructive. History has demonstrated that at whatever point open has offered
opportunity to choose, they as a rule go under impact of the political party
administering in their own areas. They don't have any thought about what is ideal for
their country and themselves.
