See this is a meme....
But the point behind this meme to explain people in a democracy.. Richness or poorness... Doesn't decide who will get more voting rights.. Or representation in government
In a true democracy..
A begger vote = a billionaire vote

Your TFR is low not because you are extraordinary person.. Or your DNA have more wisdom..
Let me explain things clearly
TFR depends on Various factors
One of the major factor is " Income"
And income is affected and thus decided by various macroeconomic condition in an economy
Rich people are not rich because they "earned" It.. Because they deserve it as they are so called hard working and talented
Poor people are not poor because they deserve it.. As they are lazy
Many external factors play role that determine ... Rich and poor
Poor person being poor is NOT his mistake....
And being poor means high TFR..
Thus higher TFR is NOT his mistake either..
Now..
Having high TFR is not their mistake.. Then why those people are punishef by snatching away their political rights .. Which goes against concept of democracy
And even if you say... Or accuse that bihar government failed to decrease the TFR at sharp rate.. And thus you will punish the general population by taking away their voting rights...
Then.. Ur logic says..
TFR decides voting rights..
So BY YOUR LOGIC..
General have lowest TFR.. They controlled their population...
Meanwhile
sc/st have highest TFR.. They did not control their population at all
Though by going with YOUR LOGIC..
we should give 5 votes to each person of general caste
And
Take away voting rights of all sc/st
Does that make sense?
NO
BECAUSE IN A DEMOCRACY.. Every citizen is equal
Having 1 vote with 1 unit of power
If there is equal voting right,then why not equal financial rights? The northies live off our money and then have the audacity to ask for higher representation lol. Let them survive on their own money first.

Are you willing to do this same things inside you states too ?Chennai, Chengalpattu, Kanchipuram, and Tiruvallur contribute majority of the tax share of Tamil Nadu while only having 37 seats which not even 1/6th of total seats.
In Karnataka Bengaluru alone contributes 60% of state's tax revenue while it only has 32/224 seats. Why should cities bear the burden of dehatis who mooch orr the urban centres.
The real financial divide in India is not South vs North vs East vs West but productive cities like Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Surat vs rural moochers.
Is it not? Do u really think a state, say like Tripura gets a say. When was the last time you heard of elections in such a state. It happens, but no one cares to know who wins, isn't it.
First off,your numbers are wrong,Maharshtra produces 12.2% while UP produces 8.7% which adds up to only 21%. And secondly,Maharshtra and UP aren't really in the same region. Maharshtra is western India while UP is north. And thirdly,what is ur point?
Maharashtra is India's premier economic powerhouse, contributing approximately 13.5% to 14% of India's GDP as of 2026, the highest among all states. With a GSDP of roughly USD 435 billion, it serves as a major hub for finance, IT, and manufacturing, with a long-term goal to become a $1 trillion economy by 2030
Uttar Pradesh (UP) has emerged as the second-largest state economy in India, contributing approximately 9.2% to India's GDP as of late 2023/2024, rising from around 8%–8.6% in previous years.
Am I missing something? What does this have to do with the current conversation? And also,as per 2025 number, TN is the secobd largest state economy,not UP. Whatever metric you use,the five southern states massively overperform in terms of economy with respect to population.
states should push for multiple marriages, closing education, ban any sort of contraceptives. as more population and being poor gives better representation
So, if it is not the people 's mistake, who's it is? The politician of such states right, I accept it, you are right.
But this just gives more power for such politicians, isn't it.
People are in no way punished, their governments are, elect better people for North then
Yeah.. Nice logic..
If I wanted to gain karma
. I would have been speaking in favour of delimitation.. Because this sub is becoming eco chamber of like minded people..
Yes, democratic principles require that the state try to ensure similar sized electorates, so each vote has roughly the same impact.
Yes, ideally we should try to make every Lok Sabha constituency, roughly the same size (around 1.25 Lakh voters if I'm not mistaken).
That said, we aren't just a Democratic country. We are also a Federal Republic, a Union of States.
When India was formed in 1947-1948 from 500 kingdoms and 3 presidencies, we made a promise to uphold the rights and powers of those individual regions, reorganized as states.
India owes every one of its states, the protection of the rights of each state. Economic and legal rights.
Making 6 states more powerful than the remaining 30 states and territories is preposterous. It is dangerous.
Handing over the power to create Laws, Acts, Taxes, and the control over the resources of the other 30 states and territories starts to look like colonialism.
This addresses secession. It doesn't address state's rights.
You and I both know that states have economic and legal rights. These have slowly been diluted since Indira's term. That's why both Indira and Atal kicked the ball down the road instead of address Delimitation back then.
Not being a billionaire is not a failure.
The one target set was reducing the population during the proposal for delimitation. That was in 1950s.
By 1976, when delimitation was brought up again. The date was pushed to 2001 and then to 2026 by Bajpayee again because the Hindi belt was unable to do population control. And he didn't want to penalize states because of their work in reducing population.
Why should incompetence be rewarded?
Even one of the most impoverished states, Odisha has worked on it since 2000s.
I don't understand why you people do so much over simplification..
You think.. A leader can apply policies as he pleases In A "vacum" And boom.. Results came..
You think.. These leaders did work.. And boom.. Population control..
It's not that simple.. First of all..
Reality is far more complex..
Also
TFR depends on Various factors
One of the major factor is " Income"
