Abstract
Although huge political and social ups and downs have occurred over the last 60-years, democratic politics in Pakistan has occasionally continued under a family possession. This article recognises these dynasties as Biradaries or castes which is a basic discriminating factor amongst people. Social phenomena of grouping1 tend to orient people to support the one which belong to their Cast / Biradary regardless of his/her social status. Political parties have largely relied on this system particularly in Faisalabad to overwhelm the elections. From 1985 to 2015, eight elections regime have passed in which varying number of seats have been secured by different Biradaries. The fight for rule and superiority has existed since then.
