India is not a police state. India is a bureaucratic state.
Even that is interesting. It shows us that bureaucracy (and, I'd say, failure to respect one's property rights) can become indistinguishable from a police state.

- sifar 14y agoTrue. At present India is a deliberate sloppy bureaucracy but that is because the government promotes it that way. India had become a police state for a brief period in 1975 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Emergency_%28India%29 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Emergency_%28India%29), but the people overcame that. Interestingly, economic & political situation is somewhat similar today.
