India has never been a democracy in the sense that the Westerners understood it. India is also a fucking land grabber. It has land grabbed every single of its neighbors once the British left town. You never hear it in the West because it doesn't fit the narrative the West has on India.

Could you please expand a bit on the land-grabbing part? I would love to learn more.

I might add that India acquired a new territory dispute with Nepal just a few several years ago by unilaterally publishing a new map incorporating what used to be part of Nepal territory (according to India's old map) into India's new map. The action triggered a counteract by the Nepalese government when it published its own map.

These newly acquired disputed territory is different than the old dispute of Kalapani. In that case India requested Nepal to grant India access to Kalapani to better monitor China's troop movement during the 1962 war with China because Kalapani is on a high ground. The problem is once India squatted on that land it never leave and is still squatting on Kalapani to this day.

Dear lord, so many absolute lies on that page that 5 min of basic, simple research will invalidate.

I snorted at this:

"An earlier example is India’s creation of the Tamil Tigers which plunged Sri Lanka into many years of civil war."

That's like stating the US founded the Nazi party and ran the Schutzstaffel. Absolute rot.
