I agree with Mush. Learning democracy was a need for the people of this region. We Indians also needed to learn democracy after independence. Democracy in our country gave politicians power to loot the nation Corruption, nepotism,family raj are some of the virtues of democracy. Muscle Power by politicians, corruption by bureaucrats and judiciary and loot by all those who are in a position to call the shots. No democratically elected political party has given us a clean government so far. we are yet to learn the democracy. Had we any knowledge of democracy, we would have thrown these corrupt people out of the country. Instead we elect them to govern us!
