This article presents an analysis of the state of democracy in Pakistan, highlighting the challenges it faces and proposing a way forward. Despite making significant strides toward democratic governance since independence, Pakistan continues to grapple with numerous obstacles such as political instability, weak institutions, corruption, and military intervention. These challenges have hindered the consolidation of democratic norms and hindered the effective functioning of democratic processes. To overcome these hurdles, it is imperative to focus on strengthening institutions, promoting transparency and accountability, fostering a culture of political inclusivity, and enhancing civil education. By addressing these key areas, Pakistan can pave the way for a more robust and sustainable democratic system.
