Pakistan was carved out in desperate urgency.

It came into existence on 14 August, 1947 with


horribleloss of life and property, and the migration of millions of dazed and destitute men, women, and
children.The cost was heavy in terms of human suffering. But what the Muslims wanted and what they
achievedwas a homeland of their own. They now had the freedom to worship, practice their religious
faith anddevelop their culture. Moreover, independence had opened up a bright future for the Muslims,
who hopedfor a better standard of living, economic development, prosperity and a fuller life.But it
seemed in those early years (1947-58) that the immense sacrifices might have been in vain for Pakistan
had been struggling from one major crisis to another, fighting to ward off the multiple problems.In these
problems political uncertainty was the main issue.Here we will discuss only about the Military rules in
the history of Pakistan.
