In defense of Indian 🇮🇳 democracy!
During Prime Minister Narendra Modi most successful visit to Norway a minor incident happened. A Norwegian journalist demanded that the prime minister starts holding press conferences. She claimed that Indian democracy is in bad shape.
May be its time to pause? May be its time to be a bit curious to the world’s largest democracy?
Two weeks ago five Indian states and territories held elections. The turn out in the battlefield state of West Bengal was 94%. In the last local election in Norway it was 62%, in many European local elections turn out is below 50%. Can voting in massive numbers be a signal Indians trust their democratic process?
In the same election BJP won big in Assam and West Bengal. It lost even bigger in Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Can this diversity be a signal that Indian democracy is reflecting the will of the people?
The journalist referred to a democracy ranking putting India at 157 in the world, behind many dictatorships and deeply troubled states. When a ranking is so obviously contrary to common sense, why not ask critical questions to those making the ranking rather than demand that leaders shall comment on nonsense? I recommend Salvatore Babones book “Dharma democracy”. The book debunks convincingly the flawed methodology of these rankings.
It was referred to a ranking claiming it’s very dangerous to be a journalist in India. Reality is that it is more dangerous to be journalist in the US and far more dangerous in the vast majority of other nations in the world.
Let’s be real. India is not perfect. Of course there are incidents. India has a population the size of North America, South America and Europe combined. But India is much more peaceful than Europe or the Americas. That’s remarkable - given the ethnic, language and religious diversity of India and the many development challenges.
Unless we consider democracy a form of government only suited for some very small, peaceful and homogeneous Western European nations, may be we should commend Indian democracy?
India is the only major former UK colony which became and has remained a democracy. Its sometimes claimed that the Brits taught India democracy. If that was the case why isn’t Myanmar or Pakistan or the Gulf kingdoms democracies??? Reality is that Indian democracy is both homegrown and extraordinary successful.

[3/4] My new book, The Dharma of AI, brings timeless Indian philosophy to the debate on autonomous weapons, job displacement, and misinformation.
It is a field guide for when the stakes are high and simple rules fail.
[2/4] We try to solve these with new regulations (EU AI Act, Executive Orders). But you cannot code your way out of a philosophical crisis.
We need a framework for examining consciousness, not just compliance.
[1/4] I’ve sat in AI ethics meetings at corp and gov bodies. The pattern is always the same: Smart people. Good intentions. But a persistent sense of something fundamental is missing.
We aren’t facing new tech problems. We are facing enduring human dilemmas at algorithmic speed.
@nitingokhale Nitin, even you are acting like stupid main stream media. Putin said there is an agreement. Do you think Trump will publicly agree to it without consulting Zel, NATO, and EU. Think before peddling leftist agenda. #trump#trumpputinalaska#AlaskaMeeting
@DerekJGrossman You are peddling half truths and falsehoods. India has NOT accepted any DEALS. All countries prostrated in front of Emperor Trump. Modi is look in his eyes and demanding fair and balanced trade. Trump is free to announce any number he chooses. Stop your stupid rants.
@DerekJGrossman India doesn’t give any credence to what Rubio says about its relations with Pakistan just as she ignores what US has to say about India-Russia relationship. Every country has the rights to pick their friends. Hypocrisy will be called out.
@BCCI “Expert commentators” from India, UK & Sri Lanka claimed a new ball pitch to slam Gill & Gambhir for not declaring earlier. India’s think tank knew they needed 2 cracks at England with the hard ball on Days 4 & 5 morning. #ENGvIND #Gill
@Cold_Peace_@AdityaRajKaul Jeff, you carefully chose words to mislead and misrepresent. Badly beaten up Pak cried uncle. Responding to his fav spoilt brat Uncle Sam requested Dr. J to stop the war. Dr. J asked Rubio to tell Pak to use the pre established communication channel and plead.
@Swamy39 Thank God a’holes like you are not running India. You would have surrendered India to China long time ago. We all saw your disastrous economic recommendations during COVID. There is no difference between you and RAGA.
@elonmusk Elon go check your history. Brits looted $45 Tr from India. Caused famine that killed 3 million people in Bengal. They reduced India’s growth between 1900-1947 to 0.001%. According to JD Vance, Karma is giving it back to them what they did to others.
