	Pakistan - Independence
		At independence Pakistan was governed by the Government of India Act of 1935 as amended by the authority of the India Independence Act of 1947.

	Welcome to Pakistan Link
		Fact of the matter is that Pakistan’s armed forces have, ever since the creation of Pakistan, been pressuring the civilian sector for a substantial slice in the governance of the state.
		The predicament of Pakistan’s polity has been that the areas that constitute Pakistan now were regarded as the abode of the martial races suited for induction into the British forces.
		Since the people of East Pakistan had been, like many other parts of British India, nurtured on the concept of the equality of man and governance through debate and consensus, this dichotomy in addition to some other factors was bound to lead to a separation of the two parts.
