Re: Musharaf Disgracing Pak in Europe...
Bad things can happen to good people in any country or system.
Major problem with "modern British-Indian" democracy is that it fragmants the country along ethnic, racial, and religious lines.
and also in linguistic lines. and what's wrong in it?...in the process it is helping every group of people to keep their own identity and preserve what is theirs. The moment one set of culture/language/ethnicity/religion is imposed on others, people will start fighting even more.

And in fact that's exactly what happened in 1947, when the Indian democratic system resulted in the division of the country along religious/ethnic lines.

It is not india democracy which divides people. It is people who are dividing themselves. Even if they do divide themselves to a certain extent(as long as they don't fight), what's wrong in it if it is about preserving their own language and culture?

Even after 1947, the process of fragmentation continues with bloody uprisings in the West and in the East.

and you cannot blame that on democracy. It is because of the leaders. and even those uprisings are completely gone in certain cases. Then you should give credit to democracy for this if you can quote it as a reason for loopholes.

The reason is simple. British-Indian democratic system is like driver-less buss speeding through streets filled with pedestrians, or zooming over the mountain-side curved roads. One mistake and kaboom.
This terrible system produces 100s of parties with zero internal democracy. These parties do not believe in democracy at all. Instead they are the personal property of one dynasty or the other.

Your country also has multi party system. Dare to bring just 2 party system in your country, then your country could be in chaos. How about merging punjabi nawaz sharif party with muhajir MQM?..some people will end up feeling that they are not being represented going by the diversity of people that is there.

Had India not blessed by the British-modeled army, and a strong Hindu-Indi nationalism, it would have gone the You-goslavia, He-goslavia, she-goslavia, and there-goes-slavia continuing the "gloden" democratic traditions of 1947.

After all even pakistan was ruled by the british....then how is pak army modelled?...Inspite of being ruled by the british, instead of continuiing with a model which was already working, why adopt some other if at all some other was adopted??....and even pakistan was formed with strong muslim based nationalism, waaaay more stronger than hindu nationalism.
