    Paper
    On
    Pakistan

    Made by Azaan Yaser and Dawood Noman


    The Early Years of Pakistan
    When Pakistan gained Independence on 14 August 1947. Ten the first governor-general was
    Quaid-e-Azam and the First Prime Minister was Liaquat Ali Khan. Quaid was able to make
    some critical decisions and execute them before he died on 11 September 1948. Some people
    including Jawahar Lal Nehru though that Pakistan wouldn’t survive as a nation for more than 6
    months but Quaid laid the foundations of the new state for it to live a long life.

    The Democratic Era 1 of Pakistan – 1947 - 1958


    In 1947, the founding fathers of Pakistan agreed to appoint Liaquat Ali Khan as the
    country's first prime minister, with Muhammad Ali Jinnah as both first governor-
    general and speaker of the State Parliament. The first league was formed and the name was All-
    India Muslim league. Some leaders are Muhammad Ali Jinnah, A. K. Fazlul Huq, Aga Khan
    III, Nawab Waqar-Mulk Kamboh and Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy. After 1956, Pakistan
    was considered as an Islamic democratic country. After some time Pakistan was in war in
    between India; some of the presidents of All-India Muslim league are A. K. Fazlul Huq, Aga
    Khan III, Nawab Waqar-ul-Mulk Kamboh and Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy.

    The Military Era 1 of Pakistan – 1958 – 1971


    In October 1958 President Iskandar Mirza issued orders for a massive mobilization of the Pakistan
    Armed Forces and appointed Chief of Army Staff General Muhammad Ayub Khan as Commander-
    in-chief. President Mirza declared a state of emergency, imposed martial law, suspended the
    constitution, and dissolved both the socialist government in East Pakistan and the parliamentary
    government in West Pakistan. Sometime after President Iskandar Mirza tried to dismiss Khan but the
    move backfired and he was relieved of his presidency.

    Presidential Republic – 1962 - 1969


    The parliamentary system came to an end in 1958, following the imposition of martial
    law. Tales of corruption in the civil bureaucracy and public administration had maligned the
    democratic process in the country and the public were supportive of the actions taken by General
    Khan. Major land reforms were carried out by the military government and it enforced the
    controversial Elective Bodies Disqualification Order which ultimately disqualified H. S.
    Suhrawardy from holding public office. Khan introduced a new presidential system called
    "Basic Democracy", by which an electoral college of 80,000 would select the president. The
    presidency of Ayub Khan is often celebrated as the "Great Decade", highlighting the economic
    development plans and reforms executed. In 1967, PPP tapped a wave of anger against Ayub
    Khan and successfully called for major labor strikes in the country. Despite severe repression people
    belonging to different occupations revolted against regime, it is known as 1968 movement in Pakistan.

    Martial Law – 1969 – 1971


    President General Yahya Khan was aware of the explosive political situation in the country.
    Support for progressive and socialist groups was rising, and calls for a change of regime were
    gaining momentum. In a television address to the nation, President Khan announced his intention
    to hold nationwide elections the following year and to transfer power to the elected
    representatives. The Election Commission registered 24 political parties, and public meetings
    attracted many large crowds. On the eve of the elections, a cyclone struck killing approximately
    500,000 people, though this event did not deter people from participating in the first ever
    general election
