Pakistan is a paradigm example of a failed state that has undergone an extremely dangerous form of radical Islamisation.
Maddiman Report
The Muddiman Committee Report officially known as the Report of the Reforms
Enqury Committee, 1924 was the product of the Government of India Act, 1919.
After the committee was put into operation, resolutions were pressed in the
Imperial legislature, especially led by the Swarajists for the revision of the
constitution to secure for India full self-governing Dominion status. Plagued by
such Indian demands, the Government of India set up a Committee under the
Chairmanship of Sir Alexander Muddiman. The nine member Committee's terms of
reference were: to enquire into the difficulties arising from, or defects
inherent in, the working of the Government of India Act and the Rules thereunder
in regard to Central Government and the governments of Governors' provinces; to
investigate the feasibility and desirability of securing remedies for such
difficulties or defects, consistent with the structure, policy and purpose of
the Act, or by such amendments of the Act as appear necessary to rectify any
administrative imperfections. The Committee rather expeditiously completed its
work between August and December 1924. The Committee submitted its report in
September 1925. Its appendices contained a list of public leaders and
individuals who had tendered evidences to the Committee; memorandum of the legal
and constitutional possibilities of advance within the Government of India Act;
and a lengthy note by a member Bijoy Chand Mahtab.
The Muddiman Committee did not submit a unanimous report. The majority view
was that the existing constitution was working in most provinces and was
affording valuable political experience. Detailed recommendations were made for
improving machinery of government. The minority view was that diarchy had
absolutely failed and could not succeed at all in the future. According to them,
it was only a fundamental change in the constitution, which could bring about
the improvement.
