Answer:
Pakistan has failed to establish a stable democracy due to several reasons.
(i) The social dominance of military, clergy and landed aristocracy in Pakistan has been central to military dictatorship and overthrow of democratic regimes. Pakistan?s hostility with India has also made the military strong.
(ii) The pro-military group clearly shows that political parties and democracy in Pakistan is not in their true forms and this misled democracy and rule by selfish-minded parties will only hamper Pakistan?s security.
These grounds have helped Pakistani military to stay in power for long. And though democracy has not been successful in Pakistan, pro-democracy sentiments are quite strong here. Pakistan relatively had a free and courageous press and an active human rights movement. The lack of a real support for democratic rule in Pakistan has further ensured the dominance of military in Pakistan. The US along with other Western states, have favoured military dictatorship in Pakistan.
