EP #152: Delimitation Challenges – Two Key Solutions to Resolve Competing Claims 🧩

My videos are based on genuine research and can be gainfully used by students, teachers and researchers.

Hello friends, as discussed in part one of this series, India's electoral map is overdue for a shake-up. Delimitation-redrawing constituency boundaries-could dramatically shift political power. With 990 million voters as of January 2025, population changes since the 1971 census demand a realignment. The stakes? Northern states like Uttar Pradesh and Bihar stand to gain, while southern states like Kerala and Tamil Nadu may lose representation, sparking debates on fairness.

In this piece, we explore two solutions: a **bicameral restructuring**, inspired by the U.S. Senate model, to balance population-based and regional representation, and a **pragmatic freeze on Lok Sabha seats** while adjusting state assemblies. Both approaches seek to maintain stability while addressing demographic realities. Will India choose political upheaval or cautious compromise? Join us as we dissect these potential paths forward.
