    The current Indian leadership is somewhat leading democracy towards the path of dictatorship style.

      As an outsider: A LOT more than ‘somewhat’, you guys are at a full gallop.

      But so are we, which is how I spotted it.

      Australia too, and Brittan. Most of the world is on an authoritarian bent right now.

      But haven’t you heard? The common man is but an animal that needs to be hearded. All this surveillance is purely to the benefit of the ignorant masses. ^\s^

        In times of crisis, the people feel fear.

        People who feel fear want a loud tall angry person that makes them feel safe.

        Authoritarians have been taking advantage of that since before written history.

          Fear leads to anger.

          Anger leads to hate.

          Hate leads to suffering.
