Abstract

Struggle to gain power has been very old phenomenon. After hunting and gathering societies when tribes were formed, head of the tribes were selected on the basis of their achievements in battle fields and from that time power has been centre for rule. The main of objectives of the study were to know the power struggle relationship between majority and minority. Moreover to understand how majority behaves in a controlled environment especially when it's under the umbrella of minority. An effort has also been to understand how the minority behaves when they are in power. This study was conducted in Lahore. To meet the objectives of the study a pure qualitative approach has been used for the data collection and analysis. On the basis of the whole findings and analysis of this it is concluded that the relationships between majority and minority in Pakistan is more or less same despite of the changes in power. The majority minority relation in a country remains same if even the minority got power in certain conditions and places. In this research where Christian which is minority in Pakistan gets power in FFCU which is a Christian administrative educational institution their behaviour with the majority (Muslims) and insecurity remains same within the campus and off campus. It is found that the Christian students even after being close friends of the Muslims have sense of insecurity and inferiority in their mind though they do not express those feelings.
