For More Understanding

Explanation

Option (a) is the wrong statement because not all countries in South Asia are democratic. The region includes countries with different political systems - some are democracies, while others like Bhutan (monarchy transitioning to democracy) and Pakistan (which has experienced military rule) have had different governance structures. The context mentions 'challenges to democracy in Nepal' and discusses 'democratic experiences' of Bangladesh and Pakistan, indicating that democracy has not been uniform or stable across all South Asian nations. The other statements (b), (c), and (d) are factually correct based on the textbook content.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: Analyze each option against the given context about South Asia.

  2. Step 2: Identify that South Asia includes seven countries with diverse political systems - Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

  3. Step 3: Recognize that the context mentions 'challenges to democracy in Nepal' and references to 'democratic experiences', indicating not all countries have stable democracies.

  4. Step 4: Conclude that statement (a) claiming all countries are democratic is factually incorrect.
