How reliable is V-Dem report on India?

V-Dem ranks India below countries like Peru, Niger, Honduras etc in democracy ranking. Niger has seen several coupes and coupe attempts in recent history. The Peruvian president attempted to dissolve the Peruvian Congress in the face of imminent impeachment by the legislative body.

V-Dem judges whether a country is democracy or not based on the opinion of around two dozen people. The methodology adopted by V-Dem makes it clear that their report is not based a large-scale survey, but based on ‘data’ provided by 5 person per country for each indicator.

V-Dem website confirms this in their website by saying, “We endeavour to have a minimum of five experts for each indicator per country. This typically means we have twenty-five or more experts per country, since each expert only codes indicators in his/her areas of expertise.”

Another matter of concern is that the 25 experts who give data on a country may not be from that country. V-Dem says that “two-thirds of Country Experts providing data on a country should be nationals or permanent residents of that country”. This means, 8 or 9 ‘experts’ out of 25 giving opinion on a country are foreigners

Now lets look at the main funders of V-Dem
George Soros’ Open Society

Swedish Research Council

European Research Council

European Commission

Research council of Norway

Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Sweden

Canadian International Development Agency

Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Denmark

Facebook

USAID

George Soros, the main funder of V-Dem is a person who is trying to do a regime change in India. According to Soros, “The biggest and most frightening setback occurred in India where a democratically elected Narendra Modi is creating a Hindu nationalist state, imposing punitive measures on Kashmir, a semi-autonomous Muslim region, and threatening to deprive millions of Muslims of their citizenship” Aravind Sivaprasad (talk) 14:56, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
