DEMOCRACY ENTAILS MANY RIGHTS TO INDIVIDUAL OF A NATION WHERE ONE HAS A FRANCHISE TO ELECT OR DETHRONE A GOVERNMENT .WE HAVE SEEN THIS IN OUR COUNTRY AND OTHER DEMOCRACTIC NATIONS .INDIA AND UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IS THE PILLAR NATIONS OF DEMOCRACY IN THIS ERA OF WHICH LATTER IS THE OLDEST ONE .MANY NEW NATIONS WHO IS UNDER MILITARY RULE ARE CONTEMPLATING TO SHIFT TO DEMOCRACY LIKE MYANMAR .IT IS RULED BY MILITARY ESTABLISHMENT AND AS WE ALL KNOW ITS DEMOCRACY LEADER AUNG SANG SUU KYI IS KEPT IN HOUSE ARREST AFTER ALLOWING TO RULE FOR FEW YEARS.THE JUNTA AS THEY CALL THEMSELVES DO NOT FATHOM TO LET DEMOCRATIC FORCES TO TAMPER THEIR DISCIPLINE AND WELL OILED MACHINERY OF ADMINISTRATION WHERE THEY PROVIDE FOOD AND OTHER AMENITIES TO PEOPLE .DEMOCRATIC FORCES JUST CANNOT UNDO THIS.THIS IS wHAT IS HAPPENING IN OUR NEIGHBOURING COUNTRY PAKISTAN WHERE MILITARY RULE WAS THERE SINCE 1958 DEMOCRACY GOT PROMINENCE WHEN BENAZIR BHUTTO BECAME PRIME MINISTER AFTER THE DEATH OF GENERAL ZIA UL HAQ WHO GAVE PAKISTAN A NEW FACE AFTER HANGING ZULFIKAR ALI BHUTTO FOR ANTI NATIONAL ACTIVITIES.NATION WAS ALWAYS UNDER THE CONTROL OF MILITARY ESTABLISHMENT OF PAKISTAN.THEY GAVE DEMOCRACY A CHANCE BECAUSE OF PEOPLE'S ASPIRATIONS REVOLVE AROUND DEMOCRACY AND INDIA'S SUCCESS AS A DEMOCRATIC NATION.NOW PAKISTAN IS GOING TO WITNESS ELECTION SOON WHICH WOULD BE THEIR STANDARDISATION OF DEMOCRACY .
WE OFTEN FIND NATIONS WHO WERE RULED UNDER MILITARY TEND TO COME OUT OF ITS SHACKLES TO BE A LIBERAL NATION WHERE THEY ASPIRE TO LIVE ACCORDING TO THEIR WHIMS AND FANCIES .HONGKONG UNDER BRITISH RULE HANDED OVER TO CHINA RECENTLY TRIED TO REVOLT AGAINST ITS CONTROL WITHOUT SUCCESS.THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE IN CHINA WHO CONDEMN TIANANMEN SQUARE MILITARY ACTION IN 1989 WHERE MANY STUDENTS WERE MASSACRED CITE THIS AS THE REASON FOR UPHEAVEL. THE EASTERN BLOC CUNTRIES WHICH WAS UNDER IRON CURTAIN AND INVISIBLE TO THE MEDIA OF OUR WORLD DO NOT HAVE DEMOCRACY BUT THEY ADVANCE IN MANY FIELDS AND ARE SELF RELIANT.PEOPLE OF THESE NATIONS WORK IN TANDEM FOR THE PROGRESS AND PRODUCTION OF THEIR NATION .THERE’S NO PLACE FOR SUPPRESSION AND ARE IN UNISON TO TAKE THEIR NATION FORWARD AS THEY THEMSELVES ARE PART OF THE GOVERNMENT.THEY NAME THEIR COUNTRY AS PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC.BUT WE BELIEVE WE ARE FORTUNATE BECAUSE OF THE FREEDOM WE ENJOY IN OUR WORLD WHERE DEMOCRACY IS THE ONLY CHOICE IF ONLY WE EXERCISE OUR FRANCHISE JUDICIOUSLY.
