can you even call it a democracy anymore?

Of course not. India used to be secular. the far right Hindu extremism is taking over. Also it's so good to be able to post this and not be trolled by pro Modi trolls. The amount of concentration of power due to lack of alternatives is so scary.

PS: I'm an Indian who now lives in Australia.

Just to clarify, the lack of alternatives creates a vaccine creating an almost defacto win for Modi et all. that's the part of democracy collapsing
