This paper explains that
democracy in Pakistan has failed because the politics of the country are based on
dictatorial democracy
and full of corrupt practices. The author points out that the Pakistani society is poverty-stricken; urban sprawl has caused the people to lead miserable lives and, like all poor nations, it is burdened with debt and military rule, seeing little hope of development in the future. The paper states that women in Pakistan have not been given full rights equal to men; they face shocking levels of domestic violence, including acid attacks and burnings by fire, which are estimated to occur in 80 percent of all households in the country.
