I think the definition of democracy exclude many countries today. One of the major point of democracy which I was taught in my social class was that we need enough choices in our parties and candidates. India doesn't have that. There are only two significant political parties at the central level and one of them has been weakened too much to be a competitor anymore.

There was a question in my exam about this too. Why are x countries not democratic despite having public elections?

Real democracy needs more than two parties.
