India has the largest democracy in the world. Mohandas Gandhi started the Indian independence movement using non-violent protest. In a parliamentary system, the prime minister has the most power and the legislator is responsible for making and carrying out laws. India has a mixed/free market economy and small, family-owned farms while specializing in information technology today. China had an authoritarian communist government under Mao Zedong that emphasized farming and manufacturing during the Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution, which led to widespread famine. China now has a communist-led government with a growing mixed/command economy and specializes in consumer goods.
