Society is a web of social relationships. When changes occurs in society all the social institutions automatically adopt these changes. The family, religion, education, economics, government, science and technology, media and communication and politics are the considerable or paramount social institutions. In Pakistan society is going towards degradation. We morally, politically and even religion- wise are inconsistent. Frustration has been increasing in our society day by day.  Pakistan from its independence was weak and was largely underdeveloped institutionally, economically, and socially. The present society is marked by uncertainty and chaos. Consumption, frustration and self-seeking pleasure had become key features of our society. We blindly adopted the values of postmodernism. Our society did not pass through the transition stages of modernism, because as such no liberal movement came, less industrialization took place in Pakistan due to lack of visionary leaders. In our society postmodernism came direct and we only adopted its values of frustration and consumerism. That’s why it has affected all aspects of our society very badly. The Present situation of society is very fragile; it can be prove more fatal if the conditions remained the same. This study's objective is to find out the impacts of postmodernism on Pakistan’s society, that how much post modernism affected our society. This research is qualitative in nature, for which both primary and secondary data is collected. Data collection methods include interviews for primary data and reviewing of already existing materials for secondary data.
