The saarc countries power was always with chosen few-either by rajeshahi/dynastic/feudal jamindars. These people rule be it any form of govt democracy/autocracy/monarchy. With 5% rulers and 95% ruled we function and name the style of governanace as we please ourselves. Thats the irony. Can India claim it has true democracy in real sense? LOOk AT MIRROR AND ANSWER TO YOURSELF!!!
