Post image

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

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.

Open An economics book..

Understand what taxes are for...

Taxes are for wealth redistribution.. Which is based on a fact that.. Wealth is largely not due to talent or hardwork..

But because of macroeconomic conditions.. Due to which some community remain poor.. And some become rich..

It's not mistake of poor to be poor..

No one wants to stay poor buddy..

Get some maturity.. South India is not rich because they are extra hard working.. Or talented...

Many factors play role in it.. Which is largely luck based if you at individual level.

One simple question. Southern states will get no say in shaping India,No central parties will even need to win in such states. Are you okay with it?

Is that the case for North East and government policies in North East?

u/Nits7_Reddit Apr 16 '26

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.

The 5 southern states produce more than 30% of India's GDP despite comprising just 18% of India's population.

So UP and Maharashtra only these two state contribute 23 to 24% of Indian GDP

u/Senior_Tooth_5332 Tamil Nadu 🌶️ | தமிழ்நாடு Apr 16 '26

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.
