Abstract
Pakistan has administrative, economic and political challenges at the time of its emergence. The government was determined for strengthening of military against India, expansion of infrastructure and a big thrust towards industrialization. Exigencies of international conditions and precarious domestic situations are considered as major factors that convinced the state to adopt capitalist mode of production to meet the economic challenges of partition and to assert economic sovereignty. The capitalist mode of production with the course of industrialization in a rural based society has not ensured either substantiality or reasonably equitable distribution of growth benefits. The capitalist growth strategy increased uneven economic development and political tension across different regions of Pakistan. In this context, government policies for elimination of economic disparity without alteration in the power structure were practically insignificant to alleviate the mass poverty. The ensuing economic growth in the context of capitalism further classified the social structures on the basis of share of economic means. These divisions were visible in the form of industrial elite, commercial elite and agrarian elite with fewer portions of middle class of the society.
