Another thing I would like to remind you is the British ruled countries like Nepal, Afghanistan, Pakistan all went the wrong way and they saw Military dictators and Kings rather than democaracy? Why?

But our leaders were impressed with democracy. May be that has influenced India.
I will not drag long on the posted link. Democratic people have to agree with each other on this stuff.
Savages practising democracy even before democratic people? How funny.
Poor savages. Punished for being ignorant of democracy and later been told to know democracy.
It would even be funnier to expand on this but it will be much too long.
