Democracy: A Closer Look

Democracy is a human-created idea based on the belief that the majority can make better decisions. It is often promoted as the best form of governance, especially by Western countries like the United States. However, there is a noticeable contrast between this promotion and the reality of international relations. Many of the U.S.'s long-term allies in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia are non-democratic Dictatorships/regimes. A notable example is Pakistan, which has historically received U.S. support, during multiple wars with democratic India.

The West's enthusiasm for democracy may partly come from the influence it grants powerful nations. They can sway public opinion and political outcomes in other democracies through media and judicial systems. Often, a minor societal issue can spark protests, which are then amplified by NGOs and at the end taken over by radical groups. This almost always lead to outcomes desired by these powerful nations, such as replacing a nationalist and progressive government with a more compliant radical regime.

A recurring pattern is the portrayal of outgoing governments as dictatorships. This narrative has been used against leaders like Bangladesh's Sheikh Hasina and is also seen in India, where the Prime Minister has faced similar accusations for absolutely no proofs backing it, especially after actions like the abrogation of Article 370 and the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). Opposition often claims these actions “threaten democracy”. I am not implicating something unreal, Just in between 1947 and 1989, the US tried to change other nations’ governments 72 times with these tactics.

Now the media will give you its own perspective and views, but the facts are below:

Timeline of Events in Bangladesh:

• Protests began over job quotas for freedom fighters.
• The government then itself sought the Supreme Court's help to abolish these quotas, which was done.
• Protestors then demanded a public apology from the government, which was given.
• The demand shifted to Sheikh Hasina's resignation, which eventually happened.
• Now, the focus is on Hindu genocide, by the peace-loving group that started the whole protest "Jamat-E-Islami".

Some Important Facts to Note:???????????????????????????????????

• The U.S. was trying to secure a military base in Bangladesh, which Sheikh Hasina's government denied.
• Sheikh Hasina warned of potential efforts to create a Christian country in the region, involving parts of Bangladesh and Myanmar.

Similar patterns are seen in India, where the "Farmers' Protest" evolved from concerns over farm bills changed stance to broader issues, like now it’s for newly introduced criminal laws. Such movements often obscure their true motivations, which may not always be about "saving democracy."?

Hail Democracy!
