The question is not so much if a "Democracy is good for a big
country like India, or even a small country like Singapore" - when
the question should be "how the country and - or its people - is
familiar with the functions and concepts of Democracy" ?
Comparing India with China - both are vast countries with a huge
population, the educated that form the ELITE in the respective
countries have existed in two different systems - one in a
Democratic System, and the other in a Communist System.
Unfortunately both countries faced corruption despite both taking
different paths in their political development for their respective
countries, and having different economic priorities with their
economic plans.
In a Democracy such as India, corruption can easily be exposed,
while in China some whistle-blowers have been jailed while the
perpetrators remain scot-free.
Is Democracy good for any country ?
It depends on how you and I have been molded into which kind of
PROPAGANDA, how each of us have been brought up in which
environment, and how we see the past, the present, and what we
expect of the FUTURE with the past and present system of
Government.
