Causes and effects of era of 1980s’ on Pakistan
Era of 1980s’ is a peaceful era for but it gave birth to many factors which are effecting us today. This era is also known as era of Zia-ul-Haq and he had made some wrong decisions which not only affect Pakistan but the whole world.

Causes
In 1980s’ there were two super powers Russia and America. When Russia attacked Afghanistan America had a great chance to destroy Russia so he used Pakistan for that purpose. America through president Zia-ul-Haq created Taliaban and Al-Qaida (terrorist of today) and introduce a false picture of Islam. let me tell you before 1980s’ Pakistan was very liberal and modern. before 1980s’ nobody had a issue on ‘Shia ‘and ‘Sunni’ but in era this thing got strengh.In this era concept of nations within a nation was also strengthen.Pathan,Punjabi,Balochi,Sindhi and mahajir were became nation and little element of hate was also develop among themselves .all this done in 1980s’ which effect us badly some of these issue strengthens with time.

Effects
After the destruction of Russia America became alone super power and it become America’s will to attack any country and interfere the internal matters of any country.Taliaban who were heroes of yesterday when they destroy Russia became terrorists after 9/11.america paste the tag “war against terrorism” and started destroying Muslim countries. Pakistan had no option so he obeys America in this war as a result war is started within Pakistan against Taliban in Waziristan in which many innocent civilians are till today in this war both in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
In the early and middle 90s’ there were many riots on ‘shia’ ‘sunni’ conflict.



There are so many effects of era of 1980s’ which we are facing now and It require pages to write. The main point is that if our president Zia-ul-Haq had not support America on matter of Afghanistan and remained neutral so we might have two super powers today and there is someone to dash America but now Russia is not super power so every country has to support America policies. Now there no use to beat the bush we have think about future. Russia again gaining power and china is the up coming super power so our government should stop acting like a prostitute on the aid of America start thinking to join Russia and china.
