First 9 years of Pakistan and you know already everything that is wrong with this country. All the problems that have plagued Pakistan throughout these 63 years had already emerged in the first 9 years since independence. Immediately after the creation,Pakistan found itself grappling with the complex questions like the role of religion in politics, concept of islamic state and the status of minorities,nature of federal system in Pakistan, the provincial disharmony, language issue, relationship between head of state and council of ministers to go with political intrigues and machinations,shady role of civil-military bureaucracy which later came to be known as Establishment. This is also the reason why it took so long for Pakistan to frame a constitution. Moreover,it is also in the course of these first few years that we lost trace of Jinnah's Pakistan, something that has not been found ever since. Furthermore,this whole period was marred by the conspicuous absence of quality leaders at the helm of affairs. Few good men then could have provided Pakistan with the start that it needed and put it on the road to progress. Sadly, not to be.
