The key feature of Pakistan political history is instability and major time of history of Pakistan is occupied military governments. That is why it is still under develop. That is why it was essential that there should be stability in the country but unfortunately Political stability is far away from Pakistan. Thus without political stability there will be no progress and prosperity in the country. A country needs secure border and internal and external peace for smooth development. Unfortunately Pakistan had both internal and external disturbances throughout its history. First India left no stone unturned to destroy Pakistan. India forced three major Wars to Pakistan. In 1971, India was able to separate its East Wing from the rest of the country. Similarly its another neighbor Afghanistan remain a source of irritation for Pakistan. It tried its level best to change the geography of Pakistan through the slogan of pashtoonistan and claimed all Pashtoo speaking areas of K.P.K, Balochistan and FATA should be included in it. FATA areas of Pakistan are tribal areas and therefore the Pakistani government normally does not interfere in the affairs of this area. These areas have a long border line with Afghanistan and people of Afghanistan and that of FATA area have relations with each other. British government tried its level best to colonize this area but failed and British regime kept this area under the tight grip of unjust laws for their vested interests to get man power for its Army to fight with Afghans. But unfortunately, these areas are still backward and there is very low level of literacy, health facilities are either absent or of very low standard. Women are not allowed to participate in daily routine work with men. They are bound to stay at home. Due to backwardness of these areas, there emerged militancy which is increasing day by day. The situation in Afghanistan also badly effected the peace of these areas. To combat militancy and for long lasting peace in this areas, it is necessary to include FATA areas in the mainstream of Pakistan. The tribal status of these areas should be replaced by inclusion of these areas into Pakistan either as an independent province/administrative set up or either by making it part of K.P.K as a district. An attempt is made in this paper to describe the backwardness of these areas and how it can be included in the mainstream of Pakistan State.
