India?

  Can we count India today as democratic? We can just as well count Russia as democratic: both have elections.

    Modi loses state elections even after vigorous campaigning - Bengal 2021 is a great example. So Modi is not infallible. Not only that, he doesn't even get 50% of national votes, but wins on the basis of first past the post system. The farmers protests and the subsequent about face from him on implementing farm laws again shows the limits to his powers. Is India a flawed democracy which is backsliding? Absolutely yes. But it's a democracy as much as the US is one.
