The Rise of Illiberal Democracy

Democracy - its such a wonderful dream but somehow things goes wrong everytime when there any hope in Pakistan. My father tells me when Bhutto became the PM the civilians somehow felt confident so confident that they even abused Military Men publicly - same feeling was when Mohtarma Bibi won the elections in 88 - but somehow we didn`t handled it good but I see hope in years to come and beyond that one day we ( civilians ) will be first-class citizens of Pakistan ( Insh`Allah ) . My father tells me that a Brig. used t make list of every phone call and everyone PM meets when Bibi and Baba were Prime Ministers and that how to this vary day MI and ISI does all the credit from I.B and how a Major tells a ADG or DG I.B what to do !!!!
is there any hope ? whats liberalism ? whats happening ? I still see hope

Democracy works in homogeneous scoieties with fairly and many learned citizens. i.e. ancient Athens.

Where corruption is rampant, and feudalism, alliances, and tribals, religious rife, it is a slow poison.

To its credit, it has worked wonders in India, where large number of minorities form a good portion of the population. Its drawbacks are obvious too.
