Abstract
This study scrutinizes the impact of caste and Baradri system on
voting behavior evolving from Pakistan’s general elections of
2018. Traditionally, the caste and Baradari system have been
playing a substantial role in the elections of Pakistan since its birth
especially in the region of Punjab. After the partition the evolution
and modernization of electoral system and introduction of
democratic institution in Pakistan never fully changed the
customary value-system of the society of Punjab which is largely
based on caste and Baradari system. With specific reference to
caste and Baradari system in Punjab, an analytical research has
been made to understand profound origins of Caste and Baradari
System and its impact on the voting behavior of four selected
constituencies, one of National Assembly and three of Provincial
Assembly of Punjab in one of the districts of province of Punjab in
general elections of 2018. Further, this study explains that the
Punjab is based on social divergence with national political
culture; therefore, the people of Punjab always look standing with
the authoritarian rule which begins from family system and ends at
national politics of Pakistan. Having majority seats in National
Assembly the role of Punjab is very important and study about the
voting behavior of the people of Punjab has special reference to
national politics.
