Why can India do it and Pakistan not?

The top politicians in India, whether you agree with them or not, are not multi billionaires (in $$). Modi, Vajpai, etc etc. I dont see their multi billion enterprises spread across the world.

Ours on the other hand, anyone who has a little power in politics is at the very least a billionaire.

Why is this that a third world extremist country like India has made it so that their party system and their democracy works whereas our sucks big time?

May be we are following a wrong system? May be we need a presidential system where an elected leader (no matter from which party) can not directly be blackmailed by the so called "parliamentarians" ?

At the VERY LEAST we need to get rid of two most corrupt families - Zardaris and Sharifs.

Let others come forward and I dont care who those others are as long as they do not start creating another dynasty!

The difference is clear separation of power and a national identity. Military does what the military is supposed to do and they are entirely subordinate to the civilian leadership.

Democracy needs to be given the chance to work. It’s rife with flaws but it’s also a self correcting mechanism. Maybe not immediately but definitely for the better - over the long run.

At the end of the day, democracy will give you the government you chose. And if you’re an elected member from the masses, at some point you’re going to have to deliver for the people. Or they will throw you out when it starts to hurt.
