India falling in various democracy and freedom indexes [1][2] are definitely a benchmark.

But of course, your next reply will be how flawed these indexes are and how the entire world has some vendetta against India.

In a democracy the only thing that matters is the mandate of the people.

I am certain after all the fake votes and drama that ultimately ended with storming of the capitol, I would perhaps place Indian democracy above that of the US.
