It really is between 2 choices:

1. An authoritarian government that can actually do things but also mess up and be harsh against anyone opposing it - China

2. A democratic government that can’t get anything done, citizens can’t rely on police for any crimes, courts for any justice, politicians for any development, where the politics of the nation just constantly seeks to divide on basis of caste, religion, language etc, and the nation as a whole wallows in mediocrity.

This is such a deeply simplistic and childish way of looking at the world.

Easy for you to say, I presume you don’t live in India

What is special about India that condemns it specifically to these two choices? There are other countries (which aren't China) which somehow manage to have democratic governments that aren't incompetent.
