Political security is also essential because people start feeling the necessary of dictatorship, if a democratic government is unable to protect the sovereignty and integrity of the country at the time of foreign invasion. If a government fails to remove the scarcity of essential commodities, if the prices of these commodities are abnormally high and if people starve owing to abject poverty, the people’s faith in democracy is shaken and they start feeling the necessity of some other type of government.
Thus to protect democracy from being usurped by dictatorship intelligent leadership is very essential. For example, when Hitler started invading other countries, England was not prepared to face the challenge, but under the able and enlightened leadership of Winston Churchill not only democracy was saved but Hitler’s dictatorship was also smashed. An able leader can bring about economic prosperity in his country and give a clear administration to the people. Thus, he can make democracy very stable. Democracy has taken deep roots in our country, wheareas it has not become strong in Pakistan because Pakistan had no leader of the stature of Jawaharlal Nehru, Lal Bahadur Shastri and Indira Gandhi.
