Regardless of the rhetoric of the politicians that they are champions and defenders of democratic

rule in the country are either adept at concealing the ground realities or ignorant to the
democratic norms and rule.For the common man the repression of martial law is not so much
different from civil authoritarian rule.Under the martial law the administrative structure from top
to bottom is run by military junta with the help of civilians and has more sway over the
implementation of their policies, Without encountring any real opposition or suppressing it if
they have any.Every institution of the state is under check and ironically with less corruption,
suffarish and departmental embezzelment we have the highest rate of economic development in
the country.Disgrunteled politicians and opposition parties from the previous regime take on the
part to support and play important role with military junta to make the regime's outlook
lawful.With the advent of civil rule social evils of corruption,suffarish and embezzelment are at
loose,now the administrative functionaries feel relaxed and are quite at ease to further their
interests and fulfill their desires because they have friends to rely on who can protect and
safeguard them against any odds.chaotic and mayhem political,social and economic disorder
dominates the withering democratic culture of profittng the few and neglecting the dire needs of
majority.The ruling party manisfestations and promises become illusionary and dissatisfaction of
the masses deprives the ruling party of it's support.With masses support on wane, the rulers
dependence on bueracracy cum police increases in every field of day to day running the
government business. As the restlessness of masses grows the govt. Is prompted to have recourse
to more repressive policies paving the way for defiance and rebellionism.collapsing of the
government writ invites other players to interfere.The short lived cycle of democracy is then
followed by the cursed phenomena of military rule,coupled with the betrayals and switching of
loyalities from the previous regime to the dismay of former rulers. The minute protests against
the military rules are quelled without any major ruffle.At the helm we have martial law
administrator who also becomes chief executive of the country, the cabinet members are
inducted from military and civilian leadership to gain some public support for their actions. The
constitution is suspended and the country is ruled by executive orders, these orders have the
powers of not to be challenged or entertained in the superior courts because the judges powers
are curbed by the special oath they have been administered to take. The top brass of bueaucracy
is shuffled from one department to another and all other laws governing the nation are intact
from the civil rule, and the same change is duplicated in the provinces . Now in governing the
nation the institutions personnale have same powers and authority with some tiny exceptions.
The vast mojority of nation is unaffected by the political changes occuring in the capitols. The
privileged minority of the nation which is well connected by the links to the network is in the
best advantageous surroundings to gain more from both systems. The network of suffarish and
bribery is rewarding for the endowed one, but deprives the downtrodden from their well beings,
which is suffering the most in this highhanded atmosphere. The institutions which are
empowered to curb these social evils from top to bottom are oozing over this menace or
completely giving blind eyes and deaf ears for their own vested interests and protecting those
who can help them. The basic economic tenents supporting the democratic norms and culture are
entirely missing from the entity. The feudal societies basic element of patriarchial hierarchy is
the most despicable hurdle in developing the demoratic culture in the semi feudal society. If we
are lucky in future to resist the divide and become united to overthrow these evils we will have
better chance to progress.
