It doesn't matter if India has democracy. If there is no material resource to support the most basic needs of people you can't have democracy. Democracy is for countries who can stand on its own feet. For India to develop a proper democracy it first needs to tackle its economic and demographic problems.
This is your personal definition not the dictionary one for sure.
And Democracy is for everyone , even for the lowliest , most impoverished African country , even if it can't stand on its own feet .
Your argument in a nutshell is one which the Chinese often cite , whilst discussing why democracy is not suitable for China or for indeed any developing country for that matter .
