And yet the current PM, Nahendra Modi, is NOT a member of the Congress
Party, the one that was lead by the various Gandhis, and heads his own
party. I don't know a lot about India but I *do* know that it has
multiple parties, something China can't say.

It also seems to have a free press. I watch several Indian YouTube
channels with news and news analysis and they don't sound constrained in
what they can say. Contrast *that* with China and I think you'll agree
that India is freer than China.

Interestingly, India and China are virtually tied now with respect to
population but China is started to shrink demographically as a result of
the one child policy which will mean China grows increasingly smaller in
terms of population while India seems poised to expand its population.
