Diluted Federalism, the Cause of Spoiled Nationalism: a study of historical facts of weak federalism in Pakistan

Junaid Ali Malik

Abstract


The study covers the issues that Pakistan faced and is facing owing to the absence of federalism. This absence is becoming the cause of nonappearance of nationalism among the people of small provinces. The reasons for the obvious segmentation of the society have been explored. People are disintegrated and are indulged in pursing their regional status and goals. Their preference is to
be recognized by their region rather by their country. The study has also discovered the major causes of tremulous federalism in Pakistan and how they affected the community as a whole. The role of the regional/local politicians has also been observed throughout the study especially with reference to Balochistan. Some recommendations to bring federalism back in the country have been put forth. The terms ‘federal system’ and ‘federalism’ have been used interchangeably.
