COMMENTARY     

Suchita Vemuri
Staff Writer

28th January 2005
The most successful democracies have high rates of literacy and education, employment in industry and market commerce, free flow of information and a free media, and have strong public institutions. India claims to be the world’s largest democracy, but the low levels of education and poor accountability of public institutions makes it a flawed democracy.

Democracy comes with capitalist development, not vice versa. Democracy cannot be imposed, while a capitalist economic system can. This has been abundantly shown through history and the current experience of globalization (as in China) and invasions (as in Afghanistan). China has forged rapidly ahead in opening up its economy to capitalist enterprise but its political systems remain totalitarian, while all attempts to impose democracy in Afghanistan by foreign intervention have patently failed.
