Re: Why India Became a Democracy and Pakistan Did not
Does the answer lie in the make up/ organization of the founding political parties of the respective countries, that is Congress and Muslim League.
Or the personalities of the founding fathers, i.e, Gandhi and Quad-e-Azam?
**Congress: **All members of the Congress paid a 4 anna annual fee. All these members had a vote for electing provincial congress committees and for a delegate conference which inturn elected the All India Congress Comittee. The President of the Congress was then elected by the annual All India Congress Comittee. The President then nominated the treasurer and 13 members from the All India Congress Comittee, which was called the working comittee that had executive authority of the party.
**Muslim League: **Formed by more effluent of the Muslims in India, Nawab Salimullah, Nawab Waqarul-mulk and its first President was Tha Agha Khan III. It was largely a diaorganized body till 1930's. The 1931 annual sessiona at Delhi, only 75 members attended. The President was elected in the annual meetings that were largely low key affairs, held in private houses. President was elected every three years.
**Gandhi: **Was (or presented himself) as a pure Indian. Dhoti clad, wore khaddar, vegetarian.
Quaed-e-Azam: Meticulous and elegantly dressed in western clothes, hardly spoke a language other than English. His appearance and demenour were aloof from the ordinary Muslims of India.
This is yet another example of cockeyed analysis.
For sane and valid comparative analysis, you always have as large of an example set as possible.
India is as unique as is Pakistan, or Afghanistan, or Iran, or China, or Burma, or Indonesia. BTW all of these countries are in the same general neighborhood.
If you want to beat Pakistan on the head, sure you would compare to someone who is doing a little better.
Countries follow their destinies on much more complex process ...
So please keep this ...analysis to yourself.
...then do analysis on the following topics before dumping crap on Pakistan.
- Why Iran is a basket case even when they have oil
- Why Islamic jannat of Afghanistan gets raped by every Tom, Dick, Harry, and even Ranjit.
- Why China is doing 100 times better economically than a comparably sized **dhoom-cratic **India.
- Why BDesh is being ruled by their army even when your ilk wants to prove using Bible, Quran, and Gita that Bengalis are more dhoom-cratic.
Off course you won't do that analysis. With eyes-wide-shut, it is much easy for anarchists to blame everything on Pakistan.

Long live Pakistan army and law-enforcement agencies,
