It's hard to see how democracies are any better than the Chinese authoritarian system when stuff like this happens.
I want to believe in democracy, but most real democracies seem to be intent on self-destruction and devolving to authoritarian states.

- saeranv 4y agoThere is real opposition to Modi's authoritarianism in India, since as a democracy, states have some relative autonomy. Tamil Nadu's DMK party is really interesting in this regard, and have a history pushing back against Modi's hindi/hindutva nationalism.
