Again democracy has not served the people of Pakistan, yes without doubt it has served the elite of Pakistan, draw your own conclusions but just be fair.
It really does not matter at the end of day that whether it is democracy or autocracy in a state. If anything matters, it is the plight of nation being ruled. It does not matter to people who are they ruled by but how are they ruled. If a ruler can establish social, economic and educational justice in a given society, it really won't bother masses that how he/she came into power. This so called lesson of illusive democracy is a gift of western culture. We are so much submissive to western ideas that we will try to implement their any tridition in our lives with out realizing the efficieny of that tridition in our culture. West which itself was a state of autocracy for centuries has been singing the song of democracy since 17th century. The huge factor which brought this change in western society was education. Education enlightened the minds and guided them to make rational decisions in their lives. This process leads them to democracy where they could make rational decision about the person who is going to be their ruler.
In big illetrate societies like ours, people are not capable of making judicious decisions. Hence, they cann't use the concept of democracy to their advantage. You can take a very sincere, passionate, patriotic and educated person to almost any Pakistani place and in contrast bring a corrupt fedual lord. Ask them to choose one for their leadership. I don't need to mention that who is going to get chosen. If you apply the same lesson of democracy in any western states you will usually find the opposite outcome. The same philosophy of democracy takes one nation to the best and the other to the worse.
The great example in our country is Imran. Despite him being the best choice among all, he is still struggling to make any impression after 14 years. It is not because Imran has any problem but it is because that nation is not yet mature enough to make sensible decisions. (This nation will kill 90 for a murder of 1 person to make it 91). And the leaders imposed by west upon us had already decreased budget for education to make sure that people stay illetrate and they could use such concepts like democracy for their advantage.
Coming back to the topic , autocrat stooge (mush) = democrat stooge (zordari) !
