Very possibly the worlds largest population, considering how unreliable some statistics are.

Meh, those are PR words. India’s democracy is a facade anyway. Might as well call China a democracy, both follow the same (Nazi) ideologies.

As opposed to several years of literal dictatorship in Pakistan? Sure, Imran Khan has been legitimately elected but Pakistan has been far far worse at democracy than other South Asian countries.

I mean, I didn’t claim it to be a (largest) democracy =D

Of course, it is by the metric of population, yes. By the metric of democratic freedoms, nope.
