India has almost the same population as China, and yet they don't choose to wield an authoritative system of population control and management with all the psychological techniques of manipulation and deception that China is.
So how is India doing - worse than China? Every country is different so can't really be compared like that, but I am fascinated to see whether Chinese people will come to rise up against such an abusive government and somehow play psychological hardball in the same way, or whether the oppression will just tire them out because ecosystems of old biology just can't compete with the new ecosystems of machines and AI that that government is increasingly using.
If I were writing a Sci-fi novel I'd have the AI (at the moment of singularity) take over the selfish pig government and become the new ruler over ALL the humans (making them equal but under it), in a delicious moment of irony.
You are confusing incompetence with benevolence. if India had money and AI PhDs anywhere even half way close to China, politicians there would have rushed to implement social credit system and it would have been called "Karma Card". It would have promise to improve security for women getting raped and people getting robed. I haven't studied Indian constitution myself but I have been told that its one of the shittiest constitution out there modeled to emulate English monarchy+parliamentary system and has zero protection on fundamental individual freedoms explicitly specified like it does in US constitution. There is nothing in India constitution that can prevent future Karma Card to get implemented in India. But don't feel bad... most countries are in same boat. Insistence for individual freedom is fairly unique to US and may be handful of other countries at lesser extent. This is because US being new country formed in a period, in circumstances and by group of people very heavily influenced by Bill by Rights and extreme distaste for monarchy. Many other former English colonies on the hand had developed huge appreciation for the same and ended up with systems that simply emulates English political system.
Look at the disaster of data breaches from the Aadhar card deployment as an example of what can go wrong. It's a heady mixture of localized corruption and incompetence.
Democracy is not as efficient at getting things done as a well oiled top down organization. That's why the military and private companies aren't democracies.

Democratic governments and countries are far wealthier, more efficient, and less corrupt than non-democracies.
> military
I don't know anyone who knows anything about militaries who thinks they are efficient. The US Dept of Defense, for example, is hardly renowned for efficiency.
