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.

J. Sai Deepak delivered a passionate defense of Hindutva in a recent debate, sharply criticizing Mani Shankar Aiyar. The event, hosted by the Calcutta Debating Circle on January 12, 2026, centered on the provocative topic "Hinduism Needs Protection From Hindutva."
​
The debate took place in Kolkata, described by Deepak as the birthplace of Hindutva due to its historical resistance to colonial influences from the 1860s onward. He reframed the motion, arguing Hinduism requires protection through Hindutva, not from it, and needs safeguarding from secularism.
​
Deepak traced Hindutva's roots to Bengal's intellectual history, citing figures like Sri Aurobindo, Swami Vivekananda, and Bankim Chandra Chatterjee, predating Savarkar and RSS by decades.
​
He portrayed Hindutva as an "organic Shakta response" to colonial invasions, embodying Bengal's revolutionary spirit with imagery like Bharat Mata and Durga worship.
​
Deepak dismissed critics conflating Hindutva with RSS origins, emphasizing its civilizational imperative over mere politics, while noting irony in politicians opposing it as a political tool.
​
Deepak went "ballistic" against Mani Shankar Aiyar (referred to as JMA), mocking his outdated script linking Hindutva solely to Savarkar despite contrary scholarship. He ended with a rallying cry: "Jai Ma Kali, Hindutva is the way of the future," positioning it as inevitable amid regional threats.

Flood? Army.
Earthquake? Army.
Terror attack? Army.
Child in borewell? Army.
Riots? Army.

But for ribbon cutting?
Actors & politicians.

Whether it’s war or weather, the Indian Army always shows up.
Maybe it’s time we invite them to the celebrations too.

What I saw across villages at LoC Uri today is proof that Pakistan deliberately targets civilians. Indian citizens, non-combatants and innocents. Like the victims in Pahalgam. Pakistan is a terrorist state.
