  • Abstract
    Pakistan has been a federation since independence. The leader of the nation demanded for federation in the United India, but the un-cooperative behavior of Congress nudge the leadership to fight for a sovereign independent country working on the principles of federation for the achievement of distributive power between center and provinces. As the system was dreamt for the realization of, accommodating various factors of cooperation in, federation turned out to be encountered by the negative developments. Those various negative developments murdered the sole purpose of federation and consequently resulted in the hammering on ethnic and lingual identities. The research paper includes two most significant variables which are highly needed to evaluate the phenomena of federation. After the evaluation of the emerged and emerging negative factors in the progress of federation, this becomes evident to suggest the solution for the necessary adjustments in the workable federation.
