Chapter Overview
Chapter 2 traces the political history and developmental milestones of Pakistan. It starts with the invaluable services of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah as the first Governor General, covering the rehabilitation of millions of refugees, the initial steps taken toward constitution-making, the inauguration of the State Bank of Pakistan, and his historic advice to public servants and students.
The chapter then dives into the early periods of political instability that paved the way for military regimes, including the Ayub Khan Era (1958-1969) with its ban on political activities and economic reforms, the Yahya Khan Era (1969-1971), and the subsequent Zulfikar Ali Bhutto administration (1971-1977).
Finally, it examines the Islamization and restoration of democracy under General Zia-ul-Haq, the democratic governments of Benazir Bhutto and Nawaz Sharif in the 1980s and 1990s, the Musharraf era (1999-2008), the PPP and PML-N administrations, the PTI government (2018-2022), and recent regional geopolitics including the Pakistan-India War of 2025.
