the mohammedan kingdom in india, and indeed the gulf mohammedan kingdoms (where the native arabs are outnumbered by migrant workers) would all be high on yechuri's list of good societies. so would the american south in the days of slavery. all where minority populations exploited and oppressed majorities.

"India's social fabric is distinguished by its vast plurality and rich diversity. The interests of our country can be protected and strengthened only when this fact is not merely recognised but accepted. It is precisely this that the BJP refuses to accept. Further, the strength of any country lies in how well and competently the interests of the minorities are protected. The measure of the success of democracy is the rising index of the welfare of the minorities."
This means that the British Raj and apartheid-era South Africa were the most successful democracies ever - the "index of minority welfare" was off the charts under these dispensations.
But then, a communist is merely a (incompetent) theoretician in search of (unavailable) data - like the unspeakable in pursuit of the inedible.

See this article in TOI. Not surprisingly this doesnt find any mention in either NDTV or CNN-IBN. I dont think this Kkangress govt will do anything to counter attack or atleast defend.
