Delimitation: A false solution driven by centralised power
Before asking what dangers delimitation poses, we must first examine a more fundamental issue: what are the existing problems, and will delimitation actually solve them? The real crisis in Indian governance today is not a shortage of representatives; it is the over-centralisation of power.

Congress and Karnataka’s Muslims: Loyalty without Representation
In an era where majoritarian politics is openly dismissive of Muslim concerns, the Congress still benefits from being seen as the lesser evil.
