"🧭 c) Hidden hand gerrymandering is structurally harder in India than in the US US-style partisan gerrymandering occurs because state legislatures themselves draw districts.

"2.2 Constitutional & empirical counter-arguments 🧩 a) Delimitation is not an optional political project it is a constitutional duty Article XX mandates delimitation after every Census; a Delimitation Act is to be passed by Parliament; an independent Delimitation Commission (quasi-judicial its orders cant be challenged in court) redraws boundaries.

"πŸ“Š b) Correcting malapportionment is itself a democratic imperative International bodies like the Venice Commission treat equal voting power and regular delimitation as core to electoral integrity; disproportionate seat-population ratios are themselves a democratic defect.

"🧭 c) Hidden hand gerrymandering is structurally harder in India than in the US US-style partisan gerrymandering occurs because state legislatures themselves draw districts. In India an independent Commission does using population data administrative units and public objections; parties can lobby but they dont hold the pen.

"2.2 Constitutional & empirical counter-arguments 🧩 a) Delimitation is not an optional political project it is a constitutional duty Article XX mandates delimitation after every Census; a Delimitation Act is to be passed by Parliament; an independent Delimitation Commission (quasi-judicial its orders cant be challenged in court) redraws boundaries. India has in fact deviated from this norm by freezing seats since the 1971 Census; multiple studies note that this has created severe malapportionment over-representing states with faster fertility decline and under-representing high-population"

"πŸ“Š b) Correcting malapportionment is itself a democratic imperative International bodies like the Venice Commission treat equal voting power and regular delimitation as core to electoral integrity; disproportionate seat-population ratios are themselves a democratic defect. So if Parliament never re-balances representation southern and smaller states stay over-represented forever relative to high-population states an injustice to millions of voters in the Hindi belt and east"
