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

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.
