so according to you, your neighbors committing murder gives YOU the right to do the same because what ?? why are you bringing other countries into it? the question is on india here. india does this and there should be consequences regardless of what anyone else does or does not do

  Never said that. The comment I replied back make it sounds like India is the only democracy which does this and is not a real democracy like the other democracies. Obviously it's stupid to put activists in jail for bogus claims. And there is no justification in doing it even though other countries are doing it. It's pretty obvious to anyone with a decent IQ.

  >"so according to you, your neighbors committing murder gives YOU the right to do the same because what ??" Problem is when said murderers assume self-righteous position and pontificate how bad everyone else is. If they punish the perpetrators and fix the situation than sure, full respect. But just for the fuck of it: who for example got punished in UK for deporting and otherwise ruining lives of their own citizens (Windrush scandal)? The answer is most likely zilch. Still they teach everyone else. And yes I agree that the scale of abuse is way smaller in the countries like the US. But they compensate by abusing citizens of the other countries by dropping democratic bombs.

  So the population of the countries you listed. San Marino - Around 33k Lichtenstein - Around 38k Monaco - 38k Andorra - Around 77k Luxembourg - 600k With population of 77k, Andorra won't even make it in the top 300 populated cities in India. I bet it's not even in top 500. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_in_India_by_population https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_in_India_by_pop... The population of least populated state in India is Around 600k. So Luxembourg would barely be a state in India. There are more than 70 cities with bigger population than Luxembourg in India Honestly it's not a great way to compare democaricies which are not even the size of big Indian cities to India. But yeah. You did come up with 5 democaries that seems like legit good when it comes to Human rights. I didn't investigate about the human right violations. But with population so low I won't be surprised if there are not many.

      Can't deny. But to be fair I never said you can't come up with 5 countries either. Tiny nations which are even smaller than cities are always exceptions in all kind of stats. The fact that they had to come up with exceptions validates my point that India not the only democracy which does this. I am not justifying it obviously. The comment I replied back make it sounds like India is the only democracy which does this and is not a real democracy like the other democracies.

        I completely fail to see how this "Validates your point".
