I think all this faff of "Biggest Democracy in the World" should be put to rest now.
There is no doubt that even if we fought for democracy at one point of time, Indians have done everything possible to undermine and destroy it.
And for the most part, the population to whom it was bestowed did not even value it enough to protect it.
Then again, unlike other countries, India never had to shed a drop of blood for this gift.
Did you know that in Karnataka, if an IT company is found violating labor laws what the fine is?
100 Rupees.
Thank Capitalism
Him: theoretically, sure!
Me: Then that's communism, btw :) Have a look at the UN figures for Soviet Russia and you will see an economic graph that never went down despite being the most sanctioned country in the world. Cuba... produces the best doctors in the world, has no starvation, the best electoral system in the world, and the highest life expectancy in Latin America. And also notice how no Communist country has ever produced terrorists that have pulled buildings or killed anyone!
Him: But you have to admit that Communism is about making everyone poor!
Me: Let me ask you. Do you want to be rich?
Him: Yes.
Me: ... and the person next to you?
Him: Sure that would be great!
Me: and perhaps everyone in this aircraft as well?
