🎯 The Agenda
The 2026 Delimitation Crisis This is perhaps the most critical legislative debate in modern Indian history. Delegates must address:
- The North-South Divide: The fear that Southern states (who successfully controlled population) will lose seats and political power to Northern states (who didn’t).
- Women’s Reservation Act: The implementation of the 33% quota for women is legally tied to the completion of this delimitation exercise. No delimitation = No reservation.
- Socio-Political Ramifications: How redrawing boundaries affects regional representation and ethnic interests.
