India refuses to be a US puppet

The answer can be found in the American Declaration of Independence and the Revolutionary War that followed.
This was a group of people (not all colonist were of the same mind) that were born, raised, and ate and slept independence. Their very lives and livelihood depended on this trait.
Once they sensed that the Crown was riding their backs to support the trifles of the Crown they decided that enough was enough, and the went into a klavern and several weeks later they came out with a scathing rebuke of the King. This rebuke put them between the proverbial "rock and a hard spot" as far as the King was concerned. To wave your nose at the King or maybe to flip him the bird, was one thing but to FORMALLY put in down on a piece of paper and SIGN it as a sanctioned and representative body of the colonies was truly an event right up there with waving a red flag in front of a bull.
The rest of the commentary is in the history books, but it all started when a group of men, educated men, men who had traveled and seen some of the world, men who KNEW there was a better way for mankind to discharge their mutual duties to each other, set out to make that statement and other statements to give their lives in defense of that idea.
This is the true spirit of the American revolution. and when the people of Pakistan can get as mad as hell and not want to take it anymore, they TOO will dispatch the dictator and find their way.
Ms Bhutto is I think, a brave, courageous, and honorable women and the Pakistani people could do a lot worse in a leader.
But you as a Pakistani must also appreciate the burden that she or any leader has in battling the many forces that are represented in that country. The Muslim fanatic presence in that county must be dealt with, either by Mushaaraff, or the next leader. Without that effort no democratic seed will be sown, none will sprout, and certainly none will flower.
It is essentially a choice, one that must be made by many, many, many, Pakistani Patriots, either to go along with the Muslim minority that wants to take the country into a 5th century theocracy, or a purge to clear the board and let the democratic rule be the cause of the day.
You already HAVE the formal structure of democracy in place (or at least you did until last week) You understand what is looks like. As a people, you have gathered around the flag of freedom, independence, and self governance. But, like many fledgling political systems, you do not understand the concept of incrementalism.
The issue NOW is not to wait for Mushareff to "give freedom back" but to demand that the people be allowed to express themselves through their duly elected representatives. This is the signature of democracy, this is the essence of democracy, this IS Democracy.
And if you EVER get it back (the right of self determination) each citizen of Pakistan must be prepared to cast their bodies onto the pyre of revolutionary zeal and pledge to protect and defend that right. It has never been easy nor has it ever been bloodless.
Americans pay the price in blood every day for the freedom that we believe in. A freedom not for us, but for others. There is no more selfless act that I know of then to sacrifice and die for freedom-except to sacrifice and die for the freedom of others.
We are watching in this country. Every move is being analyzed. We are praying for you.

The people of Pakistan do not obey the rule of law. You have muslim extremists who want to take over the country and are willing to do it by using force, insurrection, civil war or any other means.
In India, people are not at constant conflict with the government. The muslim crazies in India are vastly outnumbered, so they are held in check.

Islamic extremism you had the Taliban bordering you....next question with India is how real is their democracy
IE if the old caste system effects society in such a way that only the upper class have rights then is this really democratic?

The "number" you are speaking about is the secret of success. 1 billion people cannot be "dictated" ;-)
