ABSTRACT
Today’s Pakistan is not what it was envisaged to be at the time of independence and is indeed a dream gone sour. A promising country in its nascent years, blessed with all kinds of resources and passion, took off well despite initial daunting challenges. But predatory leaders, perverse governance, weak institutions, inconsistent myopic policies, ruthless vested interest, and intermittent coups subjected it to such disastrous trials and tribulations so mercilessly over the years that it has instilled only despair and despondency amongst its citizens.
