India as an 'Electoral Autocracy'

A Swedish research institute the V Dem Institute has said that India is no more "Electoral Democracy", but now India is an "Electoral Autocracy" this is all because of the decline in democratic freedoms to the people of India. The researchers of V Dem Institute said:

"Electoral autocracies continue to be the most common regime type. A major change is that India – formerly the world’s largest democracy with 1.37 billion inhabitants – turned into an electoral autocracy. With this, electoral and closed autocracies are home to 68% of the world’s population. Liberal democracies diminished from 41 countries in 2010 to 32 in 2020, with a population share of only 14%. Electoral democracies account for 60 nations and the remaining 19% of the population."
