Political development is a process of change in the political scenario of a country. It enhances the capability, effectiveness and efficiency of performance of a political system. The data was collected from the students of M.S/M.Phil, PhD, and faculty members of the department of political Science, History, Pakistan Studies and International Relations to the public and private sector universities of Punjab province of Pakistan. A questionnaire was developed to collect the data from respondents. The data was analyzed by applying descriptive as well as inferential statistics and results were generalized. The results of Building of Democracy in respect of Lucian Pye’s theory of Political Development showed that the level of political development remained low in Pakistan. This study recommends that government should take measures to change parochial and conflictive political culture.
