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.
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.
- smoldesu 5y agoI completely fail to see how this "Validates your point".
- blocked_again 5y agoPoint is pretty much all democrasies do this and it's not only India(Not justifying). The fact that the OP had to come up with nations with population less than large Universities and tech companies as counter examples validates it.
- zozbot234 5y agoPoint is this is the definition of whataboutism. Just because other countries may have done this does not make it right.
- blocked_again 5y agoNever 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.

- zozbot234 5y agoThe comment actually says the opposite, that even "traditional democratic countries" have big problems. That is to say, it's always possible to improve and all improvement is valuable. Already India, while unquestionably flawed, is regarded as more democratic than some European countries.
- blocked_again 5y agoI agree. India has a lot to improve on. It's far from perfect. And it's very hard. 1.4 billion people. 20+ languages. So many religions. So many castes. But it still continue to work. With its flaws. But it's one of the thing that I am the most happy about this country. That democracy is still alive. Some more alive in some states than the other. We have come a long way since the British Colonization and the times before that. I think the future would be more brighter for democracy than last 50 years.
- swiley 5y agoJust because the US performs extralegal execution doesn't justify. The same goes for anything and anyone else.

- swiley 5y agoI'm actually going to agree with that. Any country jailing political activists on their position alone is not a democracy.
- blocked_again 5y agoSure. But by that definition there would be only a bunch of tiny nations qualified as democracy in the world we currently live in.
- hollerith 5y agoName one political activist jailed by any US court for their position alone.
