Shiv,

I've just come out of a very bad discussion on PakTeaHouse where the sheer 
rascality of the leadership of both India and Pakistan was on full display. 

How can any nation - and I include Bangladesh in this - survive such villainous 
leadership? 

Are we specially vile? Are other leaders the same? Are we all drifting along 
led by people who simply have no idea what they are doing, and why they are 
doing it? Is democracy just a sham, giving us the power to elect 
representatives, and from them leaders? without giving us the slightest say in 
what they do with the mandate?

It is amazing that we survived Nehru and Patel, even Gandhi, and that the 
Pakistanis survived Jinnah, Ghulam Mohammed and Iskander Mirza (I don't want to 
even think about the military dictators) and that Bangladesh survived Mujeeb, 
Zia, Ershad and their blessed womenfolk.
