The all panorama of thesis is as under: The first chapter comprises introduction of democratic period from pre-partition times in this part of the world in the fifth decade of eighteen century in Calcutta. However, there were a few democratic institutions present in British ruled India. In 1885, they nurtured Indian National Congress (INC). Later on, to represent Muslim community in the subcontinent All India Muslim League (AIML) was formed in 1906. After the creation of Pakistan in 1947, the democratic process in Pakistan was in its inception, the leaders like Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah as Governor General and Nawabzada Liaqat Ali Khan as Prime Minister of Pakistan, were leading the caravan of democracy in Pakistan but after them democracy was derailed because of much political upheaval.
