I think that you really need to pull your head our of your ass.

India is no more a democracy than Iran or the USA is. E.g. poverty is so widespread that many people simply can't afford to get to the polling places to vote. Corruption is widespread. E.g. whole villages lose their vote, because the local big man says "OK, this time we're all voting for Congress because they paid me the biggest bribe." Not only that, first-past-the-post is such a bad system.

Also, fuck their traditions. Indian traditions include forcing women to burn themselves alive when their husbands die and forcing people in certain castes to basically shovel shit for the rest of their life.

The Maoists certainly aren't perfect. However, they are fighting against all that bullshit. If only they called themselves something like the Capitalist Libertarian Freedom Front for Democracy, and then the USA would support them wholeheartedly. Just like the USA has supported some many other right-wing and extreme right-wing revolutions, coups and militias from across South America, Africa and Europe through Asia (including South Korea).

I.e. fuck you and the donkey you rode in upon.
