Hypothetically speaking, what will happen then? A new party? Would not be somewhat same as democracy? A guided/illiberal democracy perhaps.
What's the reason in particular?
Liberal democracy? Barring Muslim world, it has been successful more or less, countries like Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan transitioned after a period of China-like "benevolent" (used as an operative term here) dictatorships to liberal democracies. Is not China destined to be same eventually...
In Japan/Korea case wasn't it the state/government itself who encouraged/subsidized/monitored zaibatsu/chaebols during Mieji era and Han river miracle era respectively? Now, Alibaba, Huawei, Baidu et al are more or less same, no?

Sure, but there are in minority and many-a-times threatened with false cases and other intimidations.[1][2][3]
Congress is dynastic and the current one lacks in public skills by large though he was the one who came up with that "Surrender Modi" epithet. You can read this twitter thread for some...
That girl name is fully Indian - Puja Syarma (seems a form of Sharma)
I have read Bali still has a caste system, do other Indonesians have it or any trace of it? Indic/Indianized societies have some trace of it usually.
