Trichromatic Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Quote The Madras High Court has observed that it was “unreasonable and unfair” that the political representation of Tamil Nadu in the Lok Sabha was brought down in 1967 because the state reduced its population by carrying out family planning measures, reported Bar and Bench on Saturday. “Can successful implementation of family planning programmes of the central government be put against the people of the state by taking away political representations in the Parliament,” a bench of Justices N Kirubakaran and B Pugalendhi said in an order passed on August 17. https://scroll.in/latest/1003452/unfair-that-tamil-nadus-lok-sabha-seats-were-cut-as-state-controlled-population-growth-madras-hc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Singh bling Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Before Hindu muslim conflict we have this problem . Apart from Hindi belt most states have reached replacement or below replacement fertility. This means large number from Hindi belt will go to other states and change demography Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree, can't get penalised for doing something right.

rangeelaraja Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 (edited) If the number of LS seats were based on each state’s total GDP, it would change the politics in India for the better.

urbestfriend Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Courts have to be reasonable, delivering a judgement for an issue that happened 54 years back is laughable. Other southern states may have faced loss of seats, but you can't deliver justice after 2 generations have been passed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other southern states may have faced loss of seats, but you can't deliver justice after 2 generations have been passed. That's an observation, not a judgement and observations will be made on historical events. Case which court is hearing is not about something which has passed 2 generations. It was current case seeking dereversation of Tenkasi parliamentary constituency. Tamil Nadu had 41 lok sabha seats and it was reduced to 39. That's why plea was filed to seek deservation. Judgement was that court the plea. Observation was that TN lost political representation due to better population control. It's notjust something which happened 54 years and no longer exists.

Rajasthan is the largest state in India by area. Rajasthan has more population than TN. So, it seems Rajasthan has suffered more injustice than TN. These seats were decided in 1967 (?) when Rajasthan had population of 2.5 crores and Tamil Nadu 4+ crores. So 25 seats for Raj, 39 for TN. Now both states have 7+ crores population. So they might get equal number of seats bases on population. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gollum Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 (edited) No extra LS seats but states that have controlled their TFR better must be rewarded in some manner. Maybe a higher cut from Finance Commission? As such Western and Southern states (plus Delhi, Haryana) are robbed to cover for some of the other states.
