A STUDY OF SOCIO-POLITICAL ISSUES TRIGGERING INSTABILITY AND FAILURE OF STATE IN NOBODY KILLED HER

Abstract

Pakistan’s history is evidence of the fact that it has failed to achieve stability and growth since its founding. Political instability started in the early years and continues to this day thereby leaving the state institutions crippled and inefficient. The political and economic problems have also weakened the state’s writ and the combination of these varied factors has pushed the state towards failure. This research studies novel, Nobody Killed Her, to analyze the state failure in the novel. The characters in the novel suffer because of the lawlessness of the state and not given their fundamental human rights. Qualitative content analysis technique is used to carry out this research. The study comes to conclusion that state responsibilities are not fully executed by the government institution in the selected novel. The results of study offer significant information in reaching the conclusion and making the desired and leading decisions about phenomena. It further establishes link between hybrid regimes and failed states, as well as the dire predicament that failed states place their population.
