India is not a Democracy Anymore - Arundhuti Roy

This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.
This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.
We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.
Rules:
Erosion of democracy under BJP has been cranked up to 11 but I feel like saying that India is not a democracy anymore ignores that India since independence has not been very democratic to begin with. Political power was then concentrated in the hands of high caste Hindus, the wealthy, the landowners, etc. and it's the same now except worse.
The reason I bring this up is because it is important to understand how we ended up in this genocidal cesspit and harbouring delusions about a bygone "democracy" gets in the way of that. Every political and economic step taken since independence is what brings us to where we are now:
This is how the country slid in fascism. The common denominator in all these eras is that the working people get shafted hard. The numbers for malnutrition and unemployment/underemployment have been shameful throughout. This is also why the clowns in the INDIA alliance have no answer to BJP. People like them are what created this mess in the first place.
Thanks for making me look up dirigistic.
