Militants and the Military in Pakistan. Bibliography. Index. The Military has ruled Pakistan for 33 of the country's 68 year history, and two key reasons help explain its dominance, first upon gaining independence in 1947, Pakistan retained 17% of colonial India's revenue streams but inherited 33% of the Military. This gave the armed forces a proportional advantage in the new government. Second, the immediate disagreement between India and Pakistan over the fate of the Muslim-majority state of Kashmir fueled a belief within some Pakistani circles that "Hindu" India was against "Muslim" Pakistan. Together, these factors informed two beliefs that profoundly shaped Pakistan's political developmentnamely, that India is an existential threat, and that the Military is Pakistan's greatest guardian against that threat. Though officially Pakistan is a Democratic country, Military sets the rules there and controls the government. In short, Pakistan made an army which is much stronger than any other institutions, so it has become easy for the army generals to dominate in the internal affairs. The book explains genesis, expansion, development, and modernisation of the Pakistan Army. Seller Inventory # 119367
