Bamiyan Buddhas stood in Afghanistan for about 14 or 15 centuries, in a muslim country, however once they fell, it brought an era of darkness which is going to remain for a long time.
Theocracies don't work, Ramrajya or otherwise. Sure there are some middle eastern countries but they happen to have the liquid gold around which the global economy works, and it'll fail soon, at most the reserves are gonna last for 50-60 years.
HOWEVER FOR ALL THE COMMON PEOPLE, who're participating and normalising this I hope yall take accountability and not throw the 'extremists' or 'corrupt politicians' for the misery, and failures which are inevitable. Just say that yes, we chose this, we wanted this, at any cost.
