Is Global Democracy In Retreat? From Taiwan To South Korea To Japan Democratic Credentials Won Euphoria. From North Korea To Afghanistan To Myanmar At Helm Are Tsar 

As we ramp up efforts to check out which nations have fledgling democracies to which have deep rooted democratic tenets, it is time to take swipe at mansions that send militia to military junta to unnerve the populace and create unrest and hent. Powers in the hands of few, asking time and again the citizens to accept the might of state are all indicators of erosion of democratic fabric and this is no delusion. How nations fare over democratic index is known from judicial prudence to media convenience and these factors come into play, the more the nation is vocal and not in pause mode shows the democratic tenets not grey. 

Taiwan, Japan and South Korea took the honours of "full fledged" democracies where right to speak and right to vault are all visible giving thumbs down to turncoats during elections held at regular intervals which shows the true place to a rebel. As per information the world's population under some form of democracy fell to 45.7 per cent from 49.4 per cent a year earlier and this showed populace lashed by brinkmanship and bestowed with fear. 

Norway, New Zealand and Finland were seen as successful epicentres of democracy and were by no means opening doors to autocracy. Countries ranged from toothless democracy to flawed democracy to strong democracy largely based on controversies they escaped and have had democratic innings which their people did not berate. Why classification becomes mandatory is to do with the fact that as nations after nations have the urge to experiment that goes awry. 

At the bottom of heap were North Korea, Afghanistan and Myanmar. North Korea known the world over for its despotic regime where the chances of people to avail democratic rights are grim. For Afghanistan and Myanmar the less said the better with militia to military junta ruling the roost and this sent more people to impoverished hood. US was handed out the tag of flawed democracy and it could very well come out of this shadow as there were inherent strengths to speak the language of bravado. 

The power to subject the state to public derision and win applause from large contingent of citizens show the democracy in progress and nation coming out of slumber and stress. How India fares in democratic credentials can only be known if media is not blighted, there is judiciary that is independent and not disassociated from public angst and a climate that welcomes fury and rant. Taking Swipe at your opponents courtesy central agencies shows the climate of hatred and giving sermons on what to wear and what to eat has kept the populace afraid. With world's population coming under democracy shrinking it is time to engage with populace at large which is firm and not tinkering.
