There were obvious teething problems with what he applied but now its pretty well balanced and there is both freedom of religion and ecomonic growth. So your argument wouldnt have any basis from a Chinese perspective, I know I have spent long periods in China and they have not lost their ancient cultural identity, no mater how American always try to demonize and reduce their way of life to communism.
But my main point is that China has survived and recovered and kept their cultural identity, and the government protects the interests of China as a identity rather than selling itself out purely for profit, which Indian government is very much involved in.
Then you don't understand India and also China, imho. China can do Tiananmen square ... India can't think of it. What are you saying ? If it was was so simple, India would have done it much earlier. India's democracy is much more complicated that you can ever think of and that poses a number of questions which you don't count while suggesting such OTC remedies.
