The discussion goes down to lowest ebbs when we start passing judgment on others. If we mean democracy then people's will must be respected. There are scores of Islamic countries who are doing fine without sharia. We feel the need of sharia because we are frightened of talibans, we want to make peace by bowing to any type of demand by them. As far as people's progress along the line of others in the world is concerned, where do we need harsh rules which forbid 50% (women) of our population to breathe easily. We are bent upon giving them the category of sheeps and goats. Do century old rules which were relevant for those tribal societies still hold good for modern pakistani society. We may find emotionally attached to sharia and will feel as if our religious duty to support it but if we don't want to remain backward to other countries and want our new generations flourish, we should shun all attempts to implement sharia.
Who are "we"? You're from India & be happy with your secular democracy. This is an internal matter for Pakistan & Pakistanis. Rest assured we're capable of tackling it & outside interference is not needed nor necessary.
