1. Which democracy in the world do-not have corruption?

2. Where in the article is the mention about government intervention in Judiciary? I read it, but could not find it.

> Free and fare Judiciary and democratic institutions are fundamental to a democracy. I hope this substantiates the original comment.

Your original comment was that India's democracy is close to Putin's Russia. I agree that India being a young democracy need to develop better institutions. However it is not comparable to anything in Russia.

If you really want to compare, why don't you specifically list what happens in a mature democracy like UK, compare that to what is happening in RUSSIA and then show similar issues in India, while also showing that it does not happen in any of the model democracy you have in your mind.

Corruption is a common denominator whether it is a democracy or autocracy. In Democracies citizens have the ability to practice democratic rights. A fundamental right in democracy is the freedom of speech.

In India though people who protest against government policies are sent behind bars without any due process. For instance in the past yr many social activists have been sent to Jail for protesting against the CAA bill, a bill which seeks to give citizenship to people based on their religion. The activists who protested have been jailed for protesting. For instance

Safoora Zargar, https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-53149967 was a student who participated in the protest and was alleged of rioting and put behind bars without due process.
