In Pakistan, the military is considered powerful and is part of what is known as The Establishment. They control the state through a backdoor and part of deep state.

In popular media

The criticism in media include Ayesha Siddiqa's Military Inc. about Pakistani military's economic activities and consequences; several books by Husain Haqqani including "Pakistan: Between Mosque and Military" and "Magnificent Delusions: Pakistan, the United States, and an Epic History of Misunderstanding"';. Ayesha Jalal's "Partisans of Allah: Jihad in South Asia", "The state of martial rule: the origins of Pakistan's political economy of defence" and " The struggle for Pakistan: a Muslim homeland and global politics"; Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri's "The Intellectual and Ideological Basis of the Establishment of Pakistan"; Christophe Jaffrelot's "Pakistan Paradox: Instability and Resilience"; Government of Pakistan's "The Establishment Manual".

A Mighty Heart movie details journalist Daniel Pearl's kidnap and murder. Among numerous bollywood movies are J. P. Dutta's Border and LOC Kargil.

It was an accurate portrayal of the Journal and I think the Journal's people, like John Bussey, who were deeply involved came off well as they should have," said former managing editor Paul Steiger, who recalled he saw the movie recently in a private showing for Journal staffers. "I think Angelina Jolie captured Mariane very, very well." Managing Editor Marcus Brauchli, who took over for Steiger and was national editor at the time of Pearl's death, also believed the film was fair. "I don't feel that the Journal was portrayed badly in the film," he said. "I think we were treated reasonably. Angelina Jolie did a good job of channeling Mariane.
