Evaluation of Ethnicity and Issues of Political Development in Punjab, Pakistan
The purpose of this research is to evaluate ethnicity and its impact on the political structure of Punjab, Pakistan. This paper examines the role of ethnicity in political behaviour of the masses in Punjab. A social counsel that shows the recognition of a specific group which is descended from the same predecessors is called ethnicity while political development is the continuous decrease of ethnic, social, and religious pressure and components. This topic is vital because of subverting tendencies of the circumstances that in reality endanger the survival of the minority groups in Punjab and therefore hampers significant political development. The governments haven't yielded any efficacious outcomes in spite of elucidation that has been consistently provided. Subsequently, they need to search for a more practical alternative by focusing on the divisions that are present in ethnic societies. Ethnic democracy should be present that is a governmental system which links the ethnic groups to their democratic and political rights. Quantitative research technique is used in this research article to know the public opinion about Ethnicity and political development. The Researchers collected the data by distributing Questionnaire among people.
