Will India's democracy weaken? The 850-seat Lok Sabha debate fully decoded - Shashi Tharoor's argument analyzed by Aditya Pratap Singh.
In this video, understand: what delimitation actually means, its link with the Census, why seats were frozen by the 42nd Amendment (1976), why the freeze was extended in 2001, and the full North vs South states dispute. Then Shashi Tharoor's new perspective - with 850 MPs, only 15-20 will ever get to speak, the rest become silent voting members, and power slowly shifts to the Executive. Includes the China (2,977 members) vs US (435 seats, frozen since 1929) comparison and Tharoor's solution - equip your MPs, don't expand the seats.
