Recent electoral experiences in India proved that India’s EVMs help only the Bharatiya Janatha Party and its Hindu Theo Corporatocracy. It’s now proved beyond doubt that without electronic voting machines there would have been no BJP victories and BJP governments. Now the Election Commission of India becomes angry whenever and wherever people and political parties demand re-introduction of ballot papers in stead. Why should they become angry when people demand an electoral process which they feel have served them well through decades?

This article was written on 21 May 2019 when India was going through a Parliament election and waited five years before publishing to see if the allegations against the BJP of manipulating electronic voting machines for victory would be disproved which it was not. Every election since then- from State Assembly Elections to the local Self-Government Body elections only proved that the centre-ruling Bharatiya Janata Party is more widely using EVM manipulations for election victories and also allowing this concession to be used by their Hindu Raashtra Allies like the Marxist Party in states like Kerala.

Even though the electoral process and the democracy in India is older than any but those in the USA, it is still not even considered a full democracy like Norway, Iceland, Sweden, New Zealand, Denmark, Canada, Ireland, Australia, Switzerland and Finland.

Why is India not included anywhere in this list of nineteen countries considered and accepted as with a full democracy? Other that the rigged electoral processes and accompanying corruption, what prevented India from emerging as a country with full democracy?
