The history of the region wherein Pakistan is located goes back to 50,000 BC, known as Indus Valley Cilvilization. The earliest agriculture settlement was discovered in Mehrgarh, dating back to 7000 B.C, a 1000 years before Mesopotamia. The cities of Harappa and Mohnjo-daro at its center lasted from 2600 to 1900 BC as the riches and most civilised era of the time. On independence in August 14th 1947, Pakistan inherited many governance challenges from colonial era, which were well pointed by the founder of the nation Mohammad Ali Jinnah (also known as Quaid-e-Azam) in his constituent assembly speech on 11th August 1947, highlighting multiple internal and external problems for future govts to address.

Early years of Pakistan’s creation unfolded many further challenges which included wars with India, demise of the founding father just one year after its independence, shortage of funds, colonial intervention being a dominion, cold war era bloc politics, delay in the first constitution, inadequate governance machinery and political instability. The failure of subsequent governments to adequately shape an effective Governance Model, along with its key ingredients, resulted in absence of an envisioned pathway, which  impacted adversely in terms of development, national security, economy, and foreign policy.

These indigenous models address the true and the key domains where potential gaps are visible including Rule of Law, Institutional Reforms, Economy, National Security, and Foreign Policy. By advocating good governance internally in Pakistan, Strategic Council aims to elaborate Pakistan’s progressive initiative. the natural positive image of the indigenous people of the land and its powerful status among the comity of nations worldwide.
