#64The slow judicial system is the biggest weapon that the government and other large entities with money have. Not everyone can afford to put their lives on hold for 3 years while a court case slowly winds its way up to a judge.

This is correct. > Political liberalism in India is now under assault. The current right-of-center government, dominated by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), appears intent on transforming India's pluralistic, open, and secular state into an ethnic and illiberal democracy. To that end it has sought to place ideologues in key governmental institutions, attempted to curtail academic freedoms at a leading university, an…
"Journal of Democracy", Lancet and "Global Health Security Index" ---- I put them all in same category. Take whatever they say with a pinch of salt.
The reports published by these orgs are prepared by some minimum wage worker which is then rubber stamped.
If these institutes were so credible then US and UK would have not been impacted by COVID so badly.

Western narrative about right, wrong and perfect system needs to be called out as they are -- hypocrite.
