Democracy no guarantor of rights

CNN says: Democracy no guarantor of rights

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The State Department on Wednesday said that laudable human-rights practices tend to occur in democracies, but it noted in its annual report on human rights that democracy does not guarantee what President Bush has called a commitment to "the non-negotiable demands of human dignity." ....

...Let's set Bush aside, he probably didn't coin the phrase anyway, but what are the "non-negotiable demands of human dignity" ?

Which State is best for business in India?

Which the State that is most friendly to Business in India? Which is the State should Indian entrepreneurs look to setup their business?

Which State has the least beaureacratic red-tape? A robust police-force, fast resolution of legal disputes?

Can anybody give a ranking?

Note: I am not talking about location of natural resources, or human resources - let's assume the business does not involve natural resources, and there is easy access to educated labor.
