The problem is not democracy but "an inefficient and unequal democracy". Rampant corruption exacerbates the problem. The problem with India is a failed law enforcement system and overwhelmed judicial system. It is very easy to bribe your way out of any crime, unless the crime has received media coverage or if the victim is someone influential(One recent example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Jessica_Lal http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Jessica_Lal). Court cases drag on forever and seeking justice turns out to be punishment for the victim(it might take years to get a verdict for criminal charges and it might be decades for civil suits). For example 640 rape cases were reported in Delhi this year and assuredly none of the other 639 cases would have had of progress of this one case which received media attention.
