Why people are easy to be deceived

in Desi society (sub-continent).

They keep on choosing same people again and again, who can’t tackle their problems.

Are we culturally less demanding?

Did we get short memory?

Or we are ‘bade dil wale log’ to forgive all the atrocities, mishaps caused due to these people?

Or its a compromise between two parties having same nature (chor ki chor ke sath yaari)

It is not true in all area of sub-continent.....Imran Khan got real vote bank.....KPK....... while report claims some part of Sindh and Punjab too.....

Re: Why people are easy to be deceived

I'm not talking about particular parties, neither I want to discuss political aspects.

I somehow feel that there is inherent submission in our cultures.

collective amnesia, if people get tough time in the current regime they'll elect the previous ones in the next elections hoping that their situation will improve

Re: Why people are easy to be deceived

Don't you think this is bewaqoofi to test same people again and again.. The famous Hadees 'Momin ek sorakh se 2 dafa dasa nahin jata'. Seems, as nations, desi people don't qualify for Momin category

May be there is nothing like learning from past in Desi society

Re: Why people are easy to be deceived

Education has a role to play and then baradari/feudal culture. An ordinary person cannot even think of contesting against Jatois, Tiwanas, Legharis, Nawanis, Chaudharies and then expect to win. Media has a big role to play but that is a saleable commodity as well.
