Dr.Rao VBJ Chelikani Bad governance by the governments and political instability are the main characteristics of all developing countries for the past seventy years, ever after their liberation from colonial domination. In spite of it, there has been political stability among a majority of Asian countries, since their national economic affairs are not controlled by bureaucracy. Many atrocities are being committed by the political leaders in Africa; much violence by the sta…
