heh thats okay

Education is seen as key - but democracy in the west which is far more educated - isn’t exactly perfect either - albeit better than ours. Or did you mean something else by object oriented education?

Object oriented education system requires detailed reply, i am not sure if this thread is good for it or not

@reduzijuice

You’re either giving too little credit to Indian democracy or too much to Pakistani democracy. Our democratic process is a farce compared to India, not that India is an example to look up to - (in which case imagine what we are). Not one, not two, not three, but FOUR army dictators compared to 1 civilian dictator in India.

I don’t know much about Indian democracy - but with the BJP being able to gain seats on hate speech, with a culture of land grabbing going on in India, it doesn’t seem like democracy for the common person means much over there either. This seems like an excellent article:

Breaking News, World News and Video from Al Jazeera

The democracy of India, means the fate of over a billion people is driven by the mood swing of a family or by feeling of hatred towards muslims or Pakistan.. if that is democracy to you, then surely India is biggest democracy. Where the development of the masses is confined to install a water-tap or a bathroom, where even after 60 years of continuous democracy, masses still suffer from all the ills any non-democratic govt can offer.. anyway, this is not the subject matter…but ofcourse are the reasons SAARC is a failed institute.
