💨 Abstract

The delimitation debate in India is driven by emotional arguments from southern states, led by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin, to freeze Lok Sabha seats. These arguments are undemocratic and juvenile, as they penalize states for reducing birth rates and go against federalism. The issue is about equal treatment of citizens in national voting, as populous states get a lower per capita share of voice in Parliament.
