Democracy Martyred in Pakistan
After the killing of Pakistani leader Benezir Bhutto, she was venerated as democracies martyr. But her will has martyred democracy itself. It is sad that in the Indian subcontinent political leadership has been taken as dynastic right to rule the nation. It is true about Nehru-Gandhi dynasty, as it is about Bhutto's in Pakistan, and there will be no different approach in Bangladesh or Nepal which is struggling for the democracy.
In India, we have hope at least in some opposition parties like BJP and Communists, but more or less all the parties play the same game of dynastic rules. Whether it is Mulayam Singh of Samajwadi party or Laloo of RJD. Even the small parties which has presence in states and limited to the states trade the same path. Take the example of Shivsena where Thakare's or in NCP the Pawar's and Sule's favor dynastic fashion of democracy(?). In south India, Karnataka's Janta Dal (S) of Devegauda belongs to his son Kumaraswami. Tamilnadu's DMK fights within the family for reins.
