India is a country with a big population that struggles with poverty. Literacy and education are not yet universal, and the estimates say that the current literacy level lies at 74%. Many of the people who are illiterate are below the poverty line and do not have enough access to unbiased election information.
Such a population can be easily manipulated, and it was also shown that such factors as caste play a role in the elections.
Additionally, India is split along caste, nationality and religion and a majority rule can lead to a discrimination of minorities.
