think for 10,000 years south asian region including India and Pakistan , called Bharat Varsh HAD MONOCRACY. Means hereditary sucession, kings son become the heir to the throne, and it went on smoothly.
DEMOCRACY IN INDIA PALTRY 60 YEARS and utter failure with idiotic caste and religion based politics and stupid LOOT OF PUBLIC MONEY WE PAY AS TAXES.
May be we south asians are NOT SUITED TO DEMOCRACY but we WANT TO BE RULED BY IRON HAND AND DISCIPLINE that kings used to exercise. OLD HABITS DIE HARD.
10,000 years of monocracy , countless kings and kingdoms bears testimony to this fact. We like hereditary sucession , it is in OUR BLOOD due to 10,000 years of such history.
