It has been. India was a socialist state. The illusion of socialism failing was thanks to western sanctions. Until capitalism fucked us all. 40% of the wealth is now owned by 1%.
Zamindari system? Destroyed by socialism.
Caste-based reservation for affirmative action? Introduced by socialism.
Famine? Green revolution under socialism solved that issue.
Dairy development for malnourished kids? White revolution under socialism solved that.
Armed freedom revolution before independence? Azad Hind Fauj (Free India Army) under the command of Subhash Chandra Bose, a prominent leftist-nationalist fought the British Indian army, and HSRA, the Hindustan Socialist Republic Association assassinated imperialist genocidal scums.
Shhhh do not tell them Bhagat Singh was a Marxist (underrated Marxist in global consensus BTW)
... under which religious empire?
Under Jawaharlal Lal Nehru, the first prime minister of secular, sovereign, socialist republic of newly independent India?
If that counts then what doesn't.
