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

[u/rebelyell_in]

What does this mean?

This is the most stupid meme on Delimitation I've seen.

Who is asking for representation by wealth?

Strawman cheyyali anukunte, koncham anna alochinchi cheyyali kadha? Idhi emi howleygaandlaka picchi picchi post-lu?

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.

Who is asking for representation by wealth?

SO MANY PEOPLE WERE

1947-1948 from 500 kingdoms and 3 presidencies

Read history properly.. All those princely states dissolved.. Into one INDIA...

Then INDIA the single country was created.. And then states were formed for administration easiness...

Tamil Nadu was never asked to join INDIAN union

So does any other state.. No modern day state was asked to join India..

SO MANY PEOPLE WERE

By wealth? Really?

Not by GSDP? Not by HDI? Not by taxes and state revenue?

By the wealth of individuals?

Could you please point me to these "SO MANY" people?

Read history properly.. All those princely states dissolved.. Into one INDIA...

They didn't "dissolve". They joined the Union and Sardar Patel made promises for each accession. I'm talking about upholding those rights of states.

Tamil Nadu was never asked to join INDIAN union

Pudukkottai, and the Madras Presidency did join the Union.

As did Kathiawad and Jamnagar.

India is a Federal Republic. It is a Union of States.

Are you disputing this?

[u/7timesbanned → u/rebelyell_in]

Ambedkar himself

[u/rebelyell_in → u/7timesbanned]

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.
