A very good read.

My 2 cents...
Any form of government gives people its basic rights to outright rights, is welcomed. People don't care what system it is. As long as, they are living a good life and the leaders are giving them the basic human needs. A very legitimate demands.
And one particular form of government is not suitable for every kind of society.
Sometimes norms and culture and religion play a vital role in ruling a state. But whichever form governs people, is supposed to give people all their basic rights.
Dilemma of history of Pakistan is, when we come under dictatorship, the leader has this urge to govern the state like a democrat. And when an elected PM under democracy become to lead the state, he acts worse than a dictator.
This nation will be continuously swinging like pendulum from a dictator to a democrat. We even now are not living under democracy. We are being fooled in name of democracy.
Skeleton of Democracy!
The only solution I think is, awareness and eduction in people.
Majority people don't even know what rights they are being granted and what rights are taken away under any government. Also, very unfortunately, many people and majority people living rural areas don't even know what corruption is. And this is what we have to do, tell our people to stand up against corruption or for their rights.
When people stand up against the corrupt government, societies evolve.
And that's exactly what we need today.
Additionally, it's not just fault of one institution, Pakistan's justice system need a transformation too.
Fair and quick justice to everyone, from the street vendors to PM. Once the justice system is fixed, more than half of the problems will end right there.
Finally, It's not about democracy, but the entire system and the people who are representing the system. Leaders won't bother to fix the internal or external problems, unless it's creating obstacles in their lives. Citizens of a nation need to rise up against misuse of law and corruption.
Pakistan just need a good direction and it can become one best country, globally.
