Parliamentary Democracy in Bangladesh

Democracy is a continuous political process which can only be sustained and developed by giving due attention to certain issues. It is never completely achieved; it grows into its being.[1] During the nineteenth century followed by industrial revolution and expansion of capitalism, democracy took off as a major political and social process based on maturing British and American model of democracy. Subsequently, after the end of the Second World War, most of the states of the Latin America, Central Europe and Asia have become liberated from the clutch of the colonial rule and they have gradually been turned into democratic political system. Like other countries of the contemporary world, Bangladesh after having been independent from the internal colonialism of Pakistan, adopted the parliamentary democracy as the political system enshrined in the constitution. Since then, we have passed about thirty-eight years but our achievements in the sphere of democracy and development are not noteworthy.
