> I have been through a communist set up myself(India)
Which period of India would you consider communist? The 'late 80s' period you reference later? I don't know nearly enough about India's history, and understand that geographic regions are very important.
> the ground reality faced by people under a communist regime is vastly more different.
Just like the reality on the ground in a capitalist country is very, very different than what the theory says. How many Native Americans did my country kill again? How many dead children are in Iraq and Afghanistan? Why do we have more empty houses than we do homeless people?
No social system is a magical cure.
> And see for yourself the kind of miserable conditions communist policies have bought upon those people.
You will not see me apologize for Stalin, for example, but what I will say is that Russia went from an agrarian nation to putting a man in space and becoming the #2 world superpower in what, 75 years? That's pretty damn impressive. The soviet experiment failed for good reasons, though.

India never explicitly stated its a communist country. But most of its policies were communist based for a large part of its post independent history. State controlled industries, tightly regimented license system for anything private, unions etc.

I am actually aware, it is quite interesting.
