comment Military intervention in government in India and Pakistan
@mgb still it does not answer my question. In essence, it why democracy did not thrive in Pakistan, while it did in India. The early military officers of both countries had the same training and background from British.

when I said they were not puppets, what I meant was that they were under no more influence than a civilian government would have been at that time.

@mgb but at least in the case of Pakistan, there is no evidence of direct foreign influence. None of the military dictators, (including Ayub Khan, Yahya Khan, Zia-ul-Huq, Musharaf) were puppets in the hands of other powers.

My question was on the domestic military influence in the government, not on foreign influence.

comment Life expectancy of monarchs and its relation to stability/peace
@ihtkwot that is why I mentioned average life expectancy. I was more interested in what happened over a period of time for many number of rulers. Someone warring for 50 years and not getting killed can be considered as an exception, IMO.

@ihtkwot as I mentioned, higher life expectancy (or length of rule) means there were relatively lesser number of wars. So this might imply a peaceful period.
