Lord Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Not sure about this bill. Such high positions should always be merit based. It will only lead to more Rabri Devi type arrangements where their husbands run the show from backstage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know recently I only see people from north working in construction in areas around Hyderabad During my time in Hyderabad there were both Telugu people as well as from North (from eastern states) in construction.. Needless to say, from construction work, to software professionals everywhere North is there in cities like Hyderabad and Bangalore, law abiding residents of those cities, making them thrive. I was at Microsoft in Gachibowli Hyderabad, Telugu people were over represented as the office is in Hyderabad, otherwise more than half the crowd there was from the North if I may add, it was a Hindi speaking company except for Tamil folks, everyone including malayalis, Telugu folks , kannadigas spoke Hindi, my major regret is not learning more Telugu from my wonderful Telugu colleagues, for whatever time I was there .....

cowboysfan Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 40 minutes ago, gattaca said: But in US congress is important as well. Congress seats are distributed according to population. It is very hard to take off people if we have only two elected officials. The population of India will make it impractical. both congress and Senate has to vote for a bill to pass and each state only gets 2 senators regardless of the size. if we were to follow through with delimitation and allot seats according to population then the seat map will look something like this.effectively a party who can win 4-5 states in the cow belt will control the whole country and vast regions of india will have no say in the running of the country.

cowboysfan Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 so both houses have passed the bill.i wonder how they came up 33% reservation.a number closer to 50% would have been more appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Frazer town/ Benson town areas of Bengaluru where only a chrishtian like KJ George can win ... Delimitation will happen now or in future as population grows.

Frazer/Cox/Benson.. pretty much all areas around the MG Road side is a fortress for Haris and his family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someone Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 How are they gonna define women? Our milords, celebs have spoken about gender fluidity. So hopefully, we get a proper definition and stay away forever from the western gender stupidity stuffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
