Democracy is defined by some as the rule of majority-without regard to whether the majority are wrong or right. However, I believe it has principles that are noble and the problem lies with the nature of man as an intrinsic evil!The freedoms and rights promoted by democracy if respected, we wouldn't be having a problem with democracy.
If leaders from the biggest democracies;India and others led young democracies as positive models,we wouldn't be justifying wrongs, evils, oppression, and other vices by shouting with; "if you are doing it, why criticise us" slogans.
