The Bajwa Doctrine: From Chauvinism To Realism


After lxx years of extreme chauvinism, nosotros are finally into the doctrine of realism which focuses on the peaceful coexistence alongside the neighbouring countries. The Bajwa Doctrine, initiated past times the rationalistic as well as logical Gen Qamar Bajwa as well as his every bit able squad of the top state of war machine command, is all nearly realising the changes taking house roughly the province as well as reshaping policies according to the needs of the modern times.


The doctrine is real clear nearly the democratic hereafter of the country. Believing inwards the importance of the constitution, the doctrine wants to ensure the proper abide by of all the institutions of the state. The years of collective experience of the state of war machine receive got proved that the supremacy of constabulary is a major deterrent against terrorism.

It is a considered persuasion of the command that the capacity of civilian institutions similar Police, Civil Services as well as civil intelligence agencies needs to live enhanced for strengthening the country.

International Vision:

It was real courageous on the role of Gen Bajwa to tell the Afghan authorities inwards unequivocal damage that Islamic Republic of Pakistan has no expansionist designs nearly Afghanistan. This doctrine openly abandoned the thought (if it e'er existed) of strategic depth as well as Transitional Islamic State of Afghanistan as the 5th province of Pakistan. The Bajwa Doctrine seeks amount peace on western borders as well as wants to brand Islamic Republic of Iran as well as Transitional Islamic State of Afghanistan as its former allies. Gen Bajwa has tried to rekindle the deep friendship alongside Saudi Arabia, Qatar as well as the USA who were unhappy alongside the Nawaz regime for dissimilar reasons. Some successful moves of strategic cooperation receive got i time to a greater extent than befriended these estranged countries who at times receive got conflicting interests alongside each other.

The Bajwa Doctrine is non nearly the role of a think neighbor trying to destabilise others but establishing Islamic Republic of Pakistan as a proud peace-loving province which wants peaceful coexistence alongside the world. But if provoked, threatened or pressurised it volition exhibit its amount musculus ability to the enemy to evidence its potent commitment to the motherland.

About Republic of Republic of India on the eastern border, the doctrine understands that at that spot tin live no state of war betwixt 2 neighbouring nuclear countries. It thinks that Republic of Republic of India though stubborn for the fourth dimension beingness because of extremist Modi regime but inside 2 to 3 years due to its growing economic scheme volition realise the require of a peace dialogue alongside Pakistan. The doctrine till thus volition locomote along its hold back as well as run into policy nearly India. The doctrine continues its engagement policy alongside the USA but this fourth dimension Islamic Republic of Pakistan is non cook to live involved inwards the infighting inside Afghanistan.

Counter-terrorism strategy:

The Bajwa Doctrine focuses on the internal safety as well as believes inwards totally wiping out terrorism from Pakistan. It is making surely that no rubber havens live spared for the terrorists. The doctrine’s alone priority is Pakistan. The old thought of distinguishing betwixt expert or bad Taliban seems to receive got died down. The doctrine has fought against terrorism of every hue as well as colour. Gen Bajwa as well as his squad has a clear vision of peaceful as well as prosperous Islamic Republic of Pakistan as well as they desire to brand Islamic Republic of Pakistan totally violence free. They desire the militant groups to live de-weaponised as well as brought to the mainstream similar Republic of Ireland as well as other strife-stricken countries where warring groups were dealt inwards an ideal way.

Gen Bajwa had met Afghan President Ashraf Ghani as well as told him that as a outset pace both, Transitional Islamic State of Afghanistan as well as Islamic Republic of Pakistan should halt beingness used against each other. The edge fencing on the Pak Afghan edge is the hallmark achievement of the Bajwa Doctrine which volition do goodness both the neighbours.

The Bajwa doctrine stands for regional peace and, similar China, wants to brand peace alongside Republic of Republic of India patch keeping our differences on meat issues. The doctrine is cook for peaceful negotiations but without compromising on the Kashmir issue. The doctrine is fully aware of the Chinese advice to Islamic Republic of Pakistan that instead of war, other peaceful mensurate live negotiated for Kashmir issue.

The Bajwa doctrine is fully aware of the international perspective since the full general himself had been inwards United Nations Peacekeeping Force interacting alongside dissimilar nationalities. The doctrine analysed the USA-Canada account as well as reached to the conclusion that initially Canada was at loss but at i time it’s inwards profit. This illustration tin assistance Islamic Republic of Pakistan to develop merchandise alongside China as well as Republic of Republic of India taking aid of our ain trouble organisation interests.

The doctrine wants expert human relationship alongside the USA as well as is cook to locomote alongside them on the controversial issues. The vision negates whatever thought of straight or indirect state of war alongside former ally USA as well as stresses the require of resolving all issues through dialogue.

The doctrine has painstakingly worked on improving human relationship alongside Islamic Republic of Iran as well as Gen Bajwa’s take in to Islamic Republic of Iran as well as Iranian unusual government minister Jawad Zarif’s take in to Islamic Republic of Pakistan are beingness considered as real fruitful. The Bajwa Doctrine has successfully mended the harm done to Pak-Saudi relations during the lastly regime of Nawaz Sharif. It has too normalised the relations alongside UAE which seemed to live at loggerheads during the Sharif regime because of the number of voting for Turkey instead of UAE for EXPO 2020.

Roots of the Command:

Gen Bajwa, though a continuation of the superb state of war machine leadership who are professionally trained to the perfection, yet similar U.S. President Woodrow Wilson who gave the thought of the League of the Nations for the peaceful basis afterwards the Second World War, Gen Bajwa is a brave commander cook to struggle against every enemy but at the same fourth dimension he is form at middle who wants to run into this basis peaceful.

Political Vision:

Like all peachy setups, the doctrine has surely flaws as well. The doctrine is gullible on some hot as well as controversial issues. The love of the establishment makes it gullible.

The doctrine sometimes believes inwards the raw stories presented to it past times its ain intelligence system. Despite these commons flaws, the Bajwa doctrine is surely that the Panama JIT was totally unbiased. It is too dead surely that no line per unit of measurement area was exerted on the judiciary past times whatever agency. 

So Bajwa doctrine clearly says that regular army had no straight role inwards politics as well as it takes exception to refer of regular army inwards ousting Nawaz Sharif. This doctrine is of the persuasion that Panama descended upon Nawaz Sharif accidentally as well as regular army did non play whatever role inwards the courtroom determination against him. Rather Gen Bajwa told PM Nawaz Sharif presently afterwards becoming COAS that he volition stand upwards past times the regime except inwards the Panama case. The unauthentic journalistic experience is that nearly lxx per cent of Panama textile was provided past times the beloved as well as nigh ones of Nawaz Sharif patch alone thirty per cent was collected past times JIT itself.

The doctrine fully knows that some states had their ain complaints against Sharifs thus they too wilfully provided proof against them. Recently, the Great Britain has too sent coin laundering written report of the Sharif family.

Gen Bajwa fifty-fifty wanted to write to the Supreme Court of Islamic Republic of Pakistan to exclude state of war machine men from JIT. He, however, did non do thus on the pretext that the Supreme Court powerfulness consider it as an seek to jeopardise the proceedings of the court.

The Bajwa Doctrine has wilfully taken a soft await as well as it does non desire to repeat the cruelties committed during the Zia regime. The doctrine has to retreat on surely issues similar creating forrad bloc because it strictly avoided using vicious force. The doctrine is thus soft that when Nawaz Sharif complained to the regular army principal that a brigadier inwards Panama JIT was harsh alongside Mian Tariq Shafi, he personally made surely that this type of electrical charge is never repeated. The full general feeling inwards the establishment is that 18th Amendment has locomote a major crusade of unbalance betwixt Federation as well as the provinces. The provinces do non receive got the capacity to grip Higher Education Commission as well as nor do receive got the way to bargain alongside constabulary as well as order. The doctrine volition live happy to do away alongside 18th Amendment to which it sees to a greater extent than unsafe than 6 points of Sheikh Mujeeb. The perception is that the amendment has changed Islamic Republic of Pakistan from a Federation to confederation.

The doctrine has potent commitment to republic but the “soft spoken Bajwa” would non similar to live remembered as Nero playing flute when Rome was on fire. Gen Bajwa was inwards a seat to impose the martial constabulary on the eventide of Khadim Rizvi Dharna when attacks were beingness carried out on the houses of northward leaders but he did non locomote for this alternative because of his commitment to democracy.

The doctrine stands past times the Supreme Court as well as other institutions as well as is saltation past times Article 68 of the constitution to do this. Any seek to subvert the working of the institutions would think that redlines has been live crossed.

Financial Management:

The professionals of the Bajwa doctrine totally decline Ishaq Dar’s fiscal vision as well as feels he damaged the province past times his policies. The doctrine is silent happy alongside novel chap Miftah Ismail as well as his fiscal vision. The analysts believe that the fiscal management of Zardari despite fossil oil crisis was meliorate than the Sharifs. Zardari enhanced the exports patch Dar failed miserably due to artificially asset dollar cost nether strict control. The doctrine is to a greater extent than interested inwards imposing fiscal as well as educational emergency rather than wasting coin on Metros as well as Motorways. The doctrine is too unhappy on throwing away 120 billion rupees inwards the yell of Benazir Income Support Program as well as would similar to convert this huge fund to some purposeful means.

Historic roots:

Pakistan Army is much inwards a higher house caste as well as creed or ethnic as well as religious divides as well as all selections are done much inwards a higher house these relationships.

Gen Bajwa, if seen inwards the continuation of Pakistani perspective, is the outset Jat boy of the soil who has been given state of war machine command of the regular army inwards the lxx years of national history. It was 170 years before when the lastly native boy of the soil, some other Jat of the Sindhu clan, Gen Sher Singh Attariwalla, fought valiantly at the battlefield of Chillianwala, District Gujrat – the same district Gen Bajwa’s Warraich woman bring upwards belonged to. The battle of Chillianwala was the alone state of war won against the British inwards 100 years of colonial history of this land.

Quite interestingly, though Gen Sher Singh was the commander of Sikh army, 1,500 Afghan Muslims warriors led past times Dost Muhammad Khan were too role of his force. Later, Gen Sher Singh had to give upwards similar the lastly Mughal king, Bahadar Shah Zafar, or similar the French hero, Napoleon Bonaparte. Gen Sher Singh met the same fate as of abovementioned peachy heroes as well as remained exiled to Banaras till his lastly breath.

Gen Bajwa, the 16th commander of Islamic Republic of Pakistan Army, belongs to the 62nd course.

The whole basis knows that the alternative procedure inwards the regular army is purely merit based. The appointment of xvi regular army chiefs inwards the lastly lxx years shows the regional as well as ethnic multifariousness of state of war machine leadership. Coming from dissimilar areas, distant places as well as various communities, they stand upwards for the establishment similar a unmarried unit. It is interesting to locomote through the chiefs’ native districts as well as their respective clans to evidence the multifariousness inside the military. The listing of Pakistan’s regular army chiefs along alongside their native districts as well as their respective clans is as follows:

Gen Gracey (British), Field Marshal Ayub Khan (Tareen Pathan from Hazara district ), Agha Yahya Khan (Pathan/ Qazilbash) , Gen Gul Hassan (Pathan), Gen Tikka Khan (Rajput from Rawalpindi), Gen Ziaul Haq (Arain from district Jalandhar), Gen Aslam Baig (Urdu speaking from Karachi), Gen Asif Nawaz (Janjua Rajput from Jhelum), Gen Waheed Kakar (Kakar Pathan from KP) , Gen Jehangir Karamat (Kakkizai from Lahore), Gen Pervez Musharraf (Urdu speaking Syed from Delhi settled inwards Karachi), Gen Ashfaq Pervez (Kiyani from Gujar Khan, Rawalpindi), Gen Raheel Sharif (Kashmiri Rajput from district Gujrat) as well as finally Gen Qamar Bajwa (Jat from Gujranwala).

Gen Kayani was a chain-smoking philosopher full general who was best to the minutest details, patch Gen Raheel was to a greater extent than concerned nearly his icon making rather than but focusing on his professional person work. Gen Kayani prepared the regular army for anti-terrorism narrative as well as successfully transformed the troops from jihadi mindset to the national narrative. Gen Raheel asserted his role as against the civilian dominion but past times the terminate of his career he did non acquire out his lasting outcome on regular army as well as the country. In contrast, Gen Bajwa is totally at ease alongside himself, no pomp as well as show, humble as well as human. No imitation pride as well as no tall claims.

He has no pretensions of beingness philosophical or having deep wisdom. He has no wishing of mistaken icon making. He is non interested inwards whatever conspiracy to receive got the reins of power. He wants to retire at the terminate of his tenure as well as volition non seek whatever extension. He is making no seek to locomote the greatest full general or the land marshal of this province because he is contented on what he has already got.

He is neither rigid necked as well as robotic similar Raheel as well as nor unpredictable as well as deep thinking similar Gen Kayani. He is sociable as well as closed to the realities of life as well as wants to resolve the issues past times actions inwards the correct direction. Above all, this doctrine is cook to hear as well as acquire from its mistakes. The full general himself similar Gen Musharraf is a patient listener as well as appreciative of rational thinking. He is warm during socialising as well as takes deep as well as affectionate involvement inwards intrinsic human relationships.

The success of whatever doctrine is non measured past times intentions but past times the results. The history volition estimate this doctrine as the others were judged past times the deliverance. It is mutual exercise that the people inwards ability forget their main focus as well as pass most the fourth dimension on trivialities. Securing Islamic Republic of Pakistan from external threats, transforming the fictional province narrative closer to the facts as well as strengthening political as well as economical organisation are the needs of introduce times. Let run into whether the doctrine passes the seek of fourth dimension or not.
