Flaws
While I don’t have a democracy fetish, I agree that if reasonably operational it at least gives an opportunity for course correction.
The pa~nchanetraka confederation has ensured that democracy is fraught with danger for most nations other than its members (via “revolutions”). An exception is Japan, with a large homoethnic population. Those like India with a wider ethnic spectrum are more vulnerable to mlechCha attacks. But it does seem things have changed.
Today, we believe that despite their self-congratulatory indices, their democracies have developed serious flaws (unless they are largely homoethnic small states). Against this backdrop an objective observer will realize that India today has a superior democracy than most occidental potentates. However, the machinations of the latter, directly, or through their marUnmatta allies, means this might not be for long.
Achievement

Many H lament that they have been unable to pull off what the chIna-s have done with DeepSeek in the desh. It is a valid lament but not at all surprising. Many nations have serious problems that cannot be addressed because there might be a v.high cost to speak of them in public. Once that situation sets in (usually in democracies) achievement is seriously hampered.
