The Politics of Left-Wing and Right-Wing in Pakistan: A Critical Appreciation
This research article provides an insightful understanding of the politics of right and left wing considering the ideological foundations since the pre-partition era and its connotation in the political landscape of Pakistan. Various political organisations emerged venturing secular, socialist, and progressive adherences protecting the rights of peasants, labour unions, minorities and disenfranchised segments of the society through economic and social equality. On the other hand, right-wing encapsulates the nationalist, conservative, and religious orientation mustering support from clergy and conservative strata of society. Furthermore, this paper investigates how these two narratives assisted Pakistan in formulating external and domestic policies taking into account their success and failure in national and global contexts.
