The conversation explores how India froze its Lok Sabha seat count after the 1971 census precisely because states with high population growth were gaining disproportionate political power despite lagging on every human development indicator. Five decades later, that developmental gap has not narrowed but widened, making the prospect of fresh delimitation even more contentious. South Indian states like Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana voluntarily controlled their population, invested heavily in education and human development, and now stand to lose relative political weight in Parliament as a direct consequence of those responsible choices. The literacy gap between north and south India stands at around 20%, average schooling years differ by nearly 50%, and per capita income in southern states is roughly three times that of northern states. A south Indian family invests nearly 40% of its income in education while a north Indian family typically spends 10 to 20% on a much smaller income base. Redistributing seats purely on population would reward states that underinvested in their citizens and penalize those that did the hard work of development. The video frames this as a fundamental tension between the federal structure of India and the democratic principle of equal vote value, and points toward the urgent need for a solution that honors both. āāāāāā š§ Listen to #AcharyaPrashant on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3f0KFwe...
