What is the primary societal consequence of Pakistan’s *biradari* system on its democratic structure?
💡 Explanation:The *biradari* (kinship/clan) system is a deeply ingrained traditional social structure in Pakistan that significantly influences the political process. It often determines electoral alliances, candidate selection, and voting patterns, leading to the consolidation of kinship-based politics rather than politics based purely on political ideology or policy platforms. This mechanism reinforces local power structures and patronage networks, which can challenge the ideal functioning of a modern democratic structure.
