The problem is not so much that India is a populist democracy... it’s Modi who is a populist that rose because of the strong man image, the entire base for the Modi government is about a strong India therefore its impossible for the Indians to back down... further it’s not possible for India to place their major focus on their navy since the main enemy the Modi government have been using is Pakistan to whom the current Indian navy is seen as enough to overpowering. There is also the consideration that even if the Indians focused on their navy, it would be difficult to fight the PLAN in the Indian Ocean, the disparity in industrial output and more specifically in naval tonnage output is just too great and the difference in technology is also a big issue. What the Indian should have concentrated on is not the military aspects, since they procure the majority of their equipment from abroad anyway, but pure industrial capacity and capacity, and economics... had the Indians had done as advertised when Modi came to power the Indian threat could have been remotely credible but as it is right now... no matter what the Indians choose to focus on in the military aspects... its only a drop in the ocean, they can’t buy or build their way out of the situation, whilst China has the capacity, capability and will to build their way to an ever growing advantage.

Well, it's difficult for India to not be populist. The majority of their populations are illiterate. The population in India don't know what the outside world really is like, they are like uninformed babies. You can NOT convince them with truth and sound reasons and expect to outperform your populist opponents in ballots.

There are plenty of Indians who know the world and know that their government is not acting in their interest. In fact by recent news reports there are at least 250 million of them. China should remember the principle of internationalism lies at the core of communist theory and lend a hand to these more knowledgeable people in India.

Last I heard in communist party meetings in India different castes aren't even allowed to sit together. It's a far cry from "from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs".

Plus previous experience with Vietnam on this sort of thing says it's a bad idea.
