Re: Indian Government may collapse
What the hell are you talking about? Sounds like as if Karachi and Lahore was a village in 1947. When it comes to people you did get your share of good beaurocrats & politicains as many important position were occupied by Muslim those days and most of them decided to migrate to Pakistan.
Are you trying to give me the crap that indians just got lucky with Democracy. You need to do better than that. This is the mindset which is responsible for current state of affairs in pakistan. Common people like you are still not able to understand what it feels to be able to throw someone out of power if you dont like their policies. Yes..it doesnt work perfectly many times but it does work better than other system. Building from scratch story is all BS. On the eve of 1947 there were same set of people on both side of border.
I remember very well how people were shouting their lungs off in favor of Musharraf on this board when he came to power. 90% of those now after Musharraf's blood and want democracy in country.
Many influential people who were part of the Muslim league and other were land owners and feudals... They were trained, and they were intelligent, but their loyalties lay with their own intrests... Indian govt members were technocrats, lawyers etc.. Mostly people from the urban centers, not land lords...
Hence, India was quick to go through land reforms while Pakistan did not because the people running Pakistan were and still are large land owners.
You should also remember that outside of Lahore and Karachi and other orban areas, the provinces that comprised todays Pakistan were far more agrarian and far less industrial then India... So its not surprising that Land lords had so much influence in Pakistan.
Its all a matter of circumastances...
