You can’t take democracy from other parts of the world and want to apply it here. Even those countries that taught us democracy also differ the way they apply it due to their difference in values. Democracy goes in line with the country’s values; our tradition and customs. We may follow similar principles but differ the way we align it with values and moral; standards differ.
