  India is far from an "actual" democracy and is often classed as a flawed democracy. Their voting system is among the best, most far-reaching and most fair in the world but their quality of candidates, policies etc are far from good. Importantly, India is increasingly imposing the whims of the majority on her minorities, something any good democracy would try to avoid.

  >False, India the largest democracy tops the list of Internet outages I'm well aware, given I am indian lol. Notice how I said "Even during massive protests/terrorist attacks, nothing happens" in the said actual democracies? India doesn't follow that and shuts down internet on whim, during exams, protests, what have you. India is hardly an 'actual democratic nation.' As an Indian, I would have thought I was making it clearer. --- In case that wasn't clear enough, here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36285784 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36285784 >>lol India does the same thing. Hell they do it for 'protests' as well. Kashmir for the longest time had 2G/GPRS/EDGE mobile data service at best. Why? Because they could protest. They did the same for that farmers strike. >>...funny what authoritarian governments use as a pretense to stay in power. How dare someone speak out against them and organize a protest. No, no internet for you.
