Delimitation debate: How India’s political map could have changed


Listen Later

What is delimitation and why is it suddenly at the centre of political debate?

In this episode of Let Me Explain, Pooja Prasanna explains how delimitation works, the concerns raised by southern states, and what it means for India’s federal balance and Parliament itself.
