What really concerns me is that India blocked Videolan.org without explanation and still hasn't explained its rationale for doing so. A country which prides itself on being a democracy should at least explain its actions, especially when these actions adversely affect millions of people.
Yes, elections happen in India. Some of them are even done in a fair manner.
But outside of elections, first world democracy is non-existent.

My understanding is that India is an "Election Democracy" . Yes, elections happen in India. Some of them are even done in a fair manner. But outside of elections, first world democracy is non-existent.
However, somewhere along the way politicians came to the conclusion that democracy is a merely nuisance and only pay lip service to it.
Democracy also means transparency and that would thrust their corruption into the light, which they can't allow.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

However, somewhere along the way politicians came to the conclusion that democracy is a merely nuisance and only pay lip service to it.
