Delimitation for Better Democracy in Bharat | Dr. Gautam Desiraju on Abhijit Chavda Podcast 103

India's democracy is structurally distorted because constituency boundaries haven't been updated (delimitation freeze since 1971), leading to unequal vote value - some citizens' votes count far more than others. The 131st Constitution Amendment Bill (which failed to pass) sought to substantially increase the maximum strength of the Lok Sabha, moving away from the long‑standing freeze based on 1971 Census figures. Professor Desiraju argues that this current "freeze" on delimitation has led to extreme inequality where individual votes have vastly different values across the country. The solution is simultaneous delimitation + large-scale state reorganization into smaller, equal units to restore democratic fairness and align governance with India's civilizational identity. --- Professor Gautam R.
