FATA is a less developed region in Pakistan due to the black and draconian law in the shape of FCR (1901) enacted during British rule in India. Since the creation of Pakistan, various governments made official attempts to significantly modify the political, legal, and administrative framework of FATA. The present study examines the historical evaluation of reforms in FATA during various governments of Pakistan since independence in 1947. The study highlights how these gradual reform efforts that different central governments had taken led to the FATA merger with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Inconclusive points, some fruitful recommendations are also given to implement and change the system practically according to the final reform effort of the FATA merger into KP in 2018. This study will be of great importance. It will provide comprehensive knowledge to academicians, scholars, and policymakers. For this study, data are mainly collected from books, reports, journals, and newspaper articles. This study is basically qualitative, and a descriptive-analytical technique is adopted.
