>> Not different than many different than many other democracies, lots of suspects held in custody without conviction: https://www.americasquarterly.org/fulltextarticle/prisons-in...

Two wrongs don't make a right.

>> What is your yardstick for a functioning democracy?

In any functioning democracy, government should not be able to arrest members of their opposition parties or journalists just based on allegations.

>> Who says there was such a scam? The Hindenburg group did say, but they are a short seller who allegedly benefited from falling prices of Adani's stocks. And their word is not a valid authority in Indian law to book a case against anyone.

Exactly! Who says Manish Sisodia did a scam? The BJP government did say, but they are a ruling party who will benefit from keeping their opponents in jail/courts.
