Bureaucracy, Army & Landlords: How the British Raj Designed Pakistan’s Elite Rule | Dr. Ilhan Niaz

Did Pakistan emerge as a new nation in 1947 or was it simply handed a colonial state machine with a new flag? In this deep-dive episode, historian Dr. Ilhan Niaz unpacks how the British Raj’s systems of governance shaped Pakistan’s military, bureaucracy, and elite power structures. Drawing on the works of K.K. Aziz and his own research, the conversation explores whether Pakistan’s crises stem from corruption and poor leadership or from institutions originally built for control, not welfare. 00:00 Highlights 01:50 Did the British Raj hand Pakistan over to the elite? 07:45 Is Pakistan still running a pre-1947 colonial system? 14:10 What Pakistan’s army inherited from the British Indian Army 23:55 Punjab’s dominance in the army myth vs historical design 32:40 Bureaucracy: ruling subjects instead of serving citizens 41:30 Landlords, electables, and colonial-era power brokers 50:20 Religion, legitimacy, and identity politics after Partition 01:00:10 Raj inheritance vs Pakistan’s own choices since 1947 01:06:30 What reforms can actually change outcomes?
