Abstract
Having drawn the inheritance of colonialism, both Pakistan and India have adopted very different
course of Civil Military relations. The research attempts to analyze the developmental pattern of
Civil Military relations of both countries through examination of inter connected roles of both
military and political class. Despite their similarities at the time of partition, these two militaries
and civilian institutions took completely different political trajectories. The argument is tested
with paired-comparison case studies of Indian and Pakistani Civil-Military relations since
independence. Both cases reveal how structures of domestic politics interact with military threat
perceptions in order to explain civilians’ ability to maintain varying levels of control over the
military. This present work is net assessment of Civil Military relations and influencing events
and occurrences in both countries
