there you go, we have witnessed the failure in our times itself with those two nations. like said by britexpat, those nations needed a lot of internal development before reaching a level where democracy could be implemented.

Setting India as an example is not a good idea. My visit to India has introduced me to a huge ocean of cultures and without democracy there would be larger numbers of social problems than that which currently exists.

India is an exception, in my opinion, and the same cannot be applied everywhere. Plus we cannot ignore the initial internal problems after the system was applied. Plus, its the people of India who demanded it and were not forced to accept democracy.
