. NEW DELHI: Parliament has voted down the government’s proposal to expand the Lok Sabha from 543 to 850 seats, implement 33% reservation for women, and redraw constituencies accordingly, but the defeat has not closed the issue. If anything, it has exposed how a once-technical constitutional mechanism has become one of the most consequential unresolved questions in electoral politics.It is important to note that the Women’s Reservation Act 2023, which provides for a 33% reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and state legislative assemblies, came into force on April 16, 2026 amid the ongoing debate on proposed bills.The opposition was unambiguous about these bills. “This defeat is not of women’s quota but of delimitation by the backdoor,” said Revolutionary Socialist PartyMP N K Premachandran. Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav called it a “defeat of BJP’s malice.” Trinamool Congress, whose 21 MPs had been urgently mobilised by the INDIA bloc, proved critical to the margin. After the vote, Congress’s Rahul Gandhi spoke personally with TMC’s Abhishek Banerjee to thank him for the support.Congress’s Priyanka Gandhi Vadra was direct: “PM Modi maliciously linked women’s quota to delimitation based on the 2011 census. His hollow attempt to pose as the messiah of women has failed today.”CPI MP Sandosh Kumar put the charge differently- that women should “see through BJP’s approach of delaying women’s quota by linking it to the census and delimitation.”On the government side, home minister Amit Shah, as the bill’s fate became clear, offered to adjourn the House and return with an amended bill. “I have the amendment prepared,” he said, pressing the government’s commitment to the 50% seat expansion. Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a final appeal before voting, asking MPs to “reflect on your conscience” and act on behalf of women across the country.The bill failed. Two related pieces of legislation, including the one to set up a delimitation commission, were not tabled in the Rajya Sabha. Parliament was adjourned.What government proposedThe government’s plan was architecturally different from any previous delimitation exercise. Its central proposal was to increase total Lok Sabha seats by 50%, from 543 to 850, while keeping each state’s proportional share of seats unchanged. Uttar Pradesh, which currently holds 80 seats, would have received 120; Tamil Nadu, with 39, would have received 58 or thereabouts.The mechanism for women’s reservation flowed from this expansion. If every state’s seats increased by 50%, one-third of the new total — 33% — could be reserved for women, equalling precisely the one-third of the expanded total. The arithmetic was designed to be self-contained: no state would lose share, and the reservation obligation would be met without redistributing existing seats.The proposed delimitation commission, as described in the bill circulated to lawmakers, would be headed by a former Supreme Court judge, with the chief election commissioner or a nominee as a member, consistent with past practice.The exercise for the Lok Sabha, government sources made clear, was to be delinked from the 2011 census. Constituency boundaries would be redrawn; the proportional shares of states in the Lok Sabha would not change. In that structural sense, it was closer to the 2008 delimitation exercise than to the full reallocation exercises of 1952, 1963, or 1973. .Why opposition read it as threatThe bill’s legal architecture contained a provision that drew sustained fire. As Vidhi Centre for Legal Policy’s Swapnil Tripathi, lead at Charkha (Centre for Constitutional Law), explained: “Currently, Article 82 requires that delimitation of constituencies and readjustment of seats among states be undertaken after completion of every census, using population data of that census. The present bill removes this obligation and instead leaves it to parliament to determine both timing of delimitation and census to be used for the exercise. Importantly, this transforms what was a constitutional obligation into a matter of legislative discretion.”That shift from constitutional mandate to parliamentary choice was the provision that most alarmed critics. It would have allowed parliament to decide, at will, which census data to use and when to act, stripping Article 82 of its periodic, automatic character.Congress lead speakers Gaurav Gogoi and K C Venugopal accused the government of using women’s quota as “cover” for a larger electoral reengineering. Gogoi invoked the American term explicitly- BJP was using delimitation “like gerrymandering in the US, where seats are redrawn for political exploitation.” He pointed to what he called precedents in Jammu & Kashmir, where a delimitation commission used census 2011, and in Assam, where the election commission used census 2001, bypassing norms of geographical contiguity and uniformity. “What was done in Assam and J&K, government wants to do it in the entire country,” he said.DMK chief M K Stalin, who had led protests in Tamil Nadu, said his party’s concern was squarely about delimitation–”which requires careful thought to ensure it is fair, especially for southern states.” He said the government should have delinked women’s reservation from delimitation entirely.Congress challenged the government to implement women’s reservation immediately in the existing 543-seat House without linking it to census or delimitation. The government declined. .Stakes for southern statesThe underlying anxiety that animated the southern bloc is rooted in demography and mathematics that are not in dispute.India’s seat allocation in the Lok Sabha has not been updated since 1977. It rests on the 1971 census. In the five decades since, population growth has been sharply uneven. Northern states Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan grew faster. Southern states Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh invested earlier in public health and fertility reduction, and their populations stabilised sooner.Based on 2011 census data, Tamil Nadu has a population of approximately 7 crore and sends 39 MPs to the Lok Sabha. Uttar Pradesh has a population of roughly 20 crore, nearly three times as large, and sends 80. A Tamil Nadu MP represents approximately 18 lakh voters; and a UP MP represents approximately 25 lakh.Vidhi Centre for Legal Policy’s research quantifies what a strict population-based delimitation could produce: going by projected 2026 population, Tamil Nadu could fall to 31 Lok Sabha seats while Uttar Pradesh could rise to 90. More populous northern states have reason to argue their representation has been frozen unjustly. But southern states–which implemented family planning successfully, raised literacy, and reduced fertility–fear they are being penalised for effective governance.The government’s expansion plans–keeping proportional shares frozen while growing the overall House–was presented precisely as the resolution to this conflict. Each state keeps its share; all states gain seats; women get their quota. Critics, however, argued that the real issue was not the immediate arithmetic of the current bill, but the constitutional discretion it would have created for all future delimitation exercises. .What delimitation actually meansThe word is used loosely in political debate to describe three distinct processes. The first is the allocation of seats among states — how many of the Lok Sabha’s total seats each state receives. This is the most consequential dimension and the one frozen since 1977. The second is the redrawing of constituency boundaries within states — carving a state’s allotted seats into geographic units of roughly equal population. The third is the reservation of specific constituencies for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, placed in areas where those communities form the largest share of the local population.These three processes have different constitutional triggers and very different political stakes. The 2008 delimitation exercise, for instance, redrew boundaries within states using 2001 Census data — but left the inter-state seat distribution entirely untouched. The current debate is almost entirely about the first category, which has not moved in over five decades.The Constitutional frameworkThe architecture begins with Article 81 — seats in the Lok Sabha shall be allocated broadly in proportion to state populations. Article 82 mandates that upon completion of each census, allocation and constituency division shall be readjusted by such authority as Parliament may by law determine. Article 170 mirrors this for state assemblies.Article 327 empowers Parliament to make laws on all matters relating to elections, including delimitation. Article 329(a) removes courts from the picture: the validity of any law relating to the delimitation of constituencies or the allotment of seats “shall not be called in question in any court.”The original design was automatic: every census triggered a readjustment, keeping representation tethered to population. It was a commitment to equal citizenship — one person, one vote, one value.The Freeze: Why it happenedIn 1976, the 42nd constitutional amendment suspended inter-state seat revision until after the 2001 census, freezing Lok Sabha seats at 543. The stated rationale was protective — states that had successfully implemented family planning should not be penalised in representation relative to faster-growing states.In 2001, the 84th constitutional amendment extended the freeze to the first census after 2026. The delimitation commission’s own guidelines, issued in 2002 under Secretary Shangara Ram, recorded the consequence plainly: “the total number of existing seats as allocated to various states in the House of the people on the basis of 1971 census shall remain unaltered till the first census to be taken after the year 2026.”The 87th constitutional amendment (2003) permitted a partial exercise using 2001 data — constituency boundaries within states could be redrawn, and SC/ST reserved seat calculations updated — without altering state-wise seat totals. The 2008 delimitation order resulted from this partial exercise. It redrew boundaries. It did not reallocate seats. India has now operated under 1971 population figures for over five decades. .How a delimitation exercise proceedsWhen the next exercise is triggered, it will follow a structured, multi-stage procedure documented in the delimitation commission’s official guidelines.Parliament first enacts a new delimitation act — each exercise requires fresh legislation, and the old act is repealed. The Union government then constitutes a delimitation commission, chaired by a retired Supreme Court judge, with the chief election commissioner and relevant state election commissioners as ex-officio members. For each state, the commission associates five MPs and five MLAs as nominated members. These associate members can attend hearings, consult on working papers, and submit dissenting notes. They cannot vote. They cannot block final orders.The commission then prepares working papers covering district-wise population data, seat entitlements, SC/ST population distributions, and proposed constituency boundaries. Guidelines specify that constituencies must be “geographically compact areas” with regard to “physical features, existing boundaries of administrative units, facilities of communication and public convenience.” A deviation of 10 percent plus or minus from the state or district average population is permissible where geography demands it.Draft proposals are published in the Gazette of India and in state gazettes, in at least two vernacular newspapers per state, with a deadline for public objections. Public sittings follow in each state. A final order, signed by the full commission, is then published. Copies are laid before the Lok Sabha and state assemblies, but — as the guidelines confirm — “no modification shall be permissible therein by them.” Parliament receives the orders. It cannot change them.The last such exercise, covering 28 states, took over six years from commission to final order.The courts cannot intervene — and whyThe insulation of delimitation from judicial review was definitively established in Meghraj Kothari vs Delimitation Commission (1967). The petitioner challenged a notification that converted his constituency, Ujjain, from a general to an SC-reserved seat, removing his right to contest it. The Madhya Pradesh High Court dismissed the petition on the short ground that Article 329(a) barred any such challenge. The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal.The court held that delimitation commission orders, once published in the Gazette, carry the same force as law made by Parliament itself under Article 327. The practical reasoning was explicit: if such orders could be challenged in courts, “any voter, if he so wished, could hold up an election indefinitely by questioning the delimitation of the constituencies from court to court.” Section 10(2) of the Delimitation Commission Act reinforced this — every such order “shall have the force of law and shall not be called in question in any court.”This does not mean all constitutional questions are foreclosed. Whether Parliament had authority to enact a particular enabling statute, or whether a commission exceeded its mandate, remains theoretically arguable in narrow circumstances. But courts have historically exercised great deference in this space, and the constitutional design strongly discourages litigation that would delay elections.What happens nextThe defeated bill has not resolved the underlying questions–it has deferred them. The census itself is overdue. Scheduled for 2021, it was delayed by the pandemic and houselisting of census has been started this year. The ‘caste census’–which was accepted by the government after opposition parties demanded it–will be done in the second phase. Without published census figures, the constitutional trigger under Article 82 cannot fire. Whether it will be completed in time to enable delimitation before the 2029 general election is uncertain.If delimitation proceeds, Parliament will determine what form it takes. An expansion of the House, constitutionally permissible, could soften proportional losses for southern states while meeting the women’s reservation mandate. A full population-based reallocation within the existing 543-seat cap would produce the gains and losses that drove this week’s confrontation. A further extension of the freeze remains a third option.The bill defeated in Parliament had proposed to strip Article 82 of its mandatory character, giving Parliament discretion over both timing and census data. That change is now off the table. But the underlying tension — between the democratic principle that each citizen’s vote should count equally, and the federal principle that states should not be penalised for effective governance — has not been resolved. It has been sent back to Parliament, and to the constitutional negotiation that will have to happen before 2029.Delimitation has never been purely about constituency boundaries. It is India’s recurring constitutional effort to reconcile two things that periodically fall out of alignment: the democratic imperative that every citizen’s vote count equally, and the federal imperative that the compact between states remain intact.The freeze of 1976 resolved that tension by choosing federation over arithmetic. The 84th amendment of 2001 extended that choice for another quarter-century.

NEW DELHI: Parliament has voted down the government’s proposal to expand the Lok Sabha from 543 to 850 seats, implement 33% reservation for women, and redraw constituencies accordingly, but the defeat has not closed the issue. If anything, it has exposed how a once-technical constitutional mechanism has become one of the most consequential unresolved questions…

JALPAIGURI: BJP’s Dhupguri candidate Naresh Roy came under fire from Trinamool Congress on Monday after a video went viral showing Roy allegedly making derogatory remarks about Mahatma Gandhi, reports Pinak Priya Bhattacharya. Roy said his comments had been misinterpreted. The authenticity of the video could not be verified. The video, shared by Trinamool Congress on social media, showed Roy referring to Mahatma Gandhi as a “deshdrohi” (traitor). Trinamool senior functionaries, Kunal Ghosh and Shashi Panja, citing Roy’s comment, said BJP had dishonoured national and Bengal icons. Ghosh said that it was no wonder that a BJP candidate would make derogatory remarks against Gandhi because BJP “is a party of the worshippers of Nathuram Godse (Gandhi’s assassin)”. Panja accused BJP of disrespecting India’s history and the legacy of the freedom struggle, adding that the controversy showed “BJP’s political culture and mindset”. Roy maintained that only a small part of his speech had been circulated without context as part of a ploy to spread confusion about him and that he had immense respect for Gandhi.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosVikram Misri Holds Key Talks With French FM, Discusses West Asia Conflict, Bilateral TiesMEA Responds As 15 Indian Ships Remain Stranded Amid Trump’s Hormuz BlockadeUS Naval Blockade on Iran: Why Strait of Hormuz Tensions Could Hit India’s Oil, LPG and InflationTCS Nashik In Eye Of Storm As Women Allege Harassment, Conversion Pressure At Workplace’We Have Common Fate’: Iran Envoy Thanks ‘Friend’ India, Responds On Hormuz Toll RowSupreme Court Refuses To Quash CBI Case Against Lalu Yadav In Land-For-Jobs Scam, Trial To ContinueNoida Protests Explained: Pay Gap Rising Costs And Labour Issues Behind The ViolenceTrust Deficit Grows In Ladakh As Activist Sonam Wangchuk Flags Delay In Talks With CentrePatna Posters Push Nishant Kumar As Next Chief Minister Of BiharDelhi To Dehradun In 2.5 Hours?

AI-generated image Growing up in the late 1990s or early 2000s meant watching the internet arrive not as a single platform, but as a world opened through web browsers.British computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee created the first web browser in 1990 and called it WorldWideWeb. A few years later, Mosaic made the web more visual by bringing graphics into browsing. Microsoft launched Internet Explorer, Mozilla introduced Firefox, and Google later released Chrome.As browsers evolved, so did the culture around them.The internet became a place not just to search, but to wander. Blogs flourished. Forums grew. Platforms such as Quora and Reddit began offering peer-to-peer knowledge, turning the web into a digital version of the ancient Greek agora, a public square where people gathered to ask questions, exchange ideas and debate answers.Over time, this space became the internet’s Mr Fix-it.From solving complex mathematical problems to figuring out how to heal after a breakup, browsing became an everyday habit. People searched, clicked, compared, skimmed, bookmarked and fell into rabbit holes.Now, artificial intelligence is changing that habit.Instead of moving across multiple webpages, users are increasingly turning to AI tools for direct, customised answers. The promise is simple: convenience, speed and efficiency. But the shift also raises a larger question — what happens to the experience of the internet when the answer arrives before the search really begins?From rabbit holes to ready answersNeha, a 42-year-old working professional, remembers a time when the internet was not easily accessible and even a small research project required a trip to a nearby cyber cafe.”When I started using the internet on my personal computer, I used to spend hours reading Wikipedia pages. Easy access to abundant information fuelled my curiosity, and I would go down a rabbit hole on the internet, often losing track of time. It was intellectually stimulating to go down a wiki-rabbit hole and learn obscure facts,” she said.For her, browsing was not just about finding information. It was about the process.She also remembers the sense of achievement that came after a long browsing session led to a successful discovery.”It was like a reward for hours of labour,” she added.That older version of the internet rewarded patience. Users opened multiple tabs, followed links, compared sources and slowly built their understanding of a topic.AI has compressed that process.Internet Browsing vs AI BrowsingThe changing internet userSameer Sheikh, an Instagram influencer with 1.6 million followers, says he once relied almost entirely on Google Search to craft scripts for his videos, which decode Bollywood lyrics.His research process involved reading multiple research papers, blogs and articles, comparing information from different sources and then piecing it together into a compelling narrative.AI has changed that workflow.”Since the rise of AI, I now use tools like ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity to quickly get a concise summary of information gathered from multiple sources across the internet. This saves me a significant amount of time compared to reading every article individually,” he said.For creators, students and working professionals, this is the biggest draw of AI-assisted browsing. It reduces the time spent moving across webpages and gives users a structured answer almost instantly.But it also changes the relationship between the user and the information.Earlier, users discovered information by navigating the web themselves. Now, many are receiving information filtered, arranged and summarised by AI systems.Is SEO dead in the age of AI browsing?For years, search engine optimisation, or SEO, has been the backbone of digital visibility. The goal was straightforward: optimise webpages so they rank higher on search results and attract more clicks.That model is now under pressure.As AI Overviews and generative search tools answer user queries directly on the results page, the traditional click-through model is being disrupted. Users may get the answer they need without visiting the website that originally produced the information.This has triggered anxiety across the digital publishing and marketing world. If AI can answer questions directly, what happens to websites that depend on search traffic?But digital marketing experts argue that SEO is not dying. It is changing.Chandrakant Agrawal, co-founder and CEO of AppSquadz, said AI Overviews are reshaping how search engines surface and deliver content.”AI Overviews are reshaping how search engines surface and deliver content, answering queries directly on the results page, which can reduce traffic for some websites while, in some cases, driving more qualified and intent-rich visitors than traditional organic clicks ever did,” he said.According to him, the metric of success is no longer just the click.”The marketers and businesses adapting well are those who have accepted that the KPI is no longer the click alone. It now also includes citation, reference and brand recall within the AI responses itself. The businesses which built shallow, keyword-dense content for ranking are losing relevance fast. The ones investing in context-rich, credible, expert-led content are finding that AI systems surface them more consistently,” he said.In other words, AI may not kill SEO, but it is forcing it to evolve.Agrawal said marketers are increasingly turning to Answer Engine Optimisation, or AEO, as a separate discipline from traditional SEO.“The toolkit for AI-era visibility looks meaningfully different from what dominated SEO conversations five years ago. Marketers are increasingly turning to Answer Engine Optimisation as a discipline in its own right, distinct from traditional SEO. The underlying principle, however, is unchanged: AI systems cite sources they assess as credible, consistent and contextually authoritative,” he said.Internet browsing vs AI browsingConvenience, but at a costAI-powered browsers and agentic browsing tools are designed to make the internet more interactive and task-oriented.They can summarise webpages, compare information, help plan trips, assist with bookings, fill forms and, in some cases, complete tasks across websites. Instead of simply displaying information, they can interact with it.For users, this can feel like a major upgrade. A browser is no longer just a window to the web. It can become an assistant that reads, explains, compares and acts.But the same capability also brings risks.Agentic browsers may need access to sensitive user data, including cloud storage, email, banking sessions, shopping accounts and social media platforms. They may be able to click buttons, submit forms and make changes through authenticated sessions.That level of access creates concerns around privacy, security and user control.An article by the University of Tennessee’s Office of Innovative Technologies noted that AI agents may not always be able to distinguish between safe websites and scam sites. A malicious website could embed hidden instructions in its HTML, text or metadata. An agent might misread those instructions as legitimate commands and perform unauthorised actions, such as submitting forms, changing account settings or extracting sensitive information.This is the central trade-off of AI browsing.The more useful an AI agent becomes, the more access it may need. And the more access it has, the higher the risk if something goes wrong.Convenience comes with risksWhat changes when AI becomes the browser?The internet was once built around exploration.Users searched, clicked, wandered, compared and discovered. The journey was part of the experience. A simple question could lead to a Wikipedia page, then a blog, then a forum thread, then a research paper, and finally to an answer that felt earned.AI is turning that journey into a shortcut.That shortcut is powerful. It saves time, reduces information overload and helps users make sense of complex topics quickly. For people who work with large volumes of information, it can be transformative.But it also changes how people learn, verify and trust information.When users browse less and ask more, discovery becomes narrower. The web becomes less of a landscape to explore and more of a system that delivers answers on demand.That does not mean the old internet is disappearing. People will still search, read, watch, compare and debate. But the first instinct is changing. Increasingly, the question is not “What should I search?” but “What should I ask AI?”The browser once taught users how to navigate the internet.AI is now teaching them how to skip parts of it.Get the latest India news and live updates.

The Supreme Court emphasized its reluctance to direct arrests, prioritizing evidence collection and witness protection. While monitoring investigations, the bench declined to comment on the merits of the Anil Ambani Group (ADAG) case, citing past collateral damage to reputations. The CBI has filed nine FIRs totaling Rs 27,337 crore against ADAG entities. NEW DELHI: A bench of CJI Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi said, “SC has repeatedly said it will be extremely shy of directing arrest of any individual. Importance must be given to collection and preservation of evidence and protection to witnesses …”“While monitoring investigations, we do not express any opinion on correctness of arrest or non-arrest of any person. For effective investigation, the agencies are best suited to determine how to proceed…” CJI Kant said.The bench turned down ADAG’s plea to insert a line in the order to convey that SC had not formed an opinion on the merits of the case and that the court monitoring the probe does not mean the opposite.SC said continuous mandamus jurisprudence devised during monitoring of CBI probe into the Jain-Hawala scam in the Vineet Narain case in the 1990s is a principle of which the court should be proud of. However, the observations made during the court monitoring of investigations caused immense collateral damage to the reputations of many. “The consequences were devastating. That is why we are not commenting on the investigations,” Supreme Court clarified.Appearing for CBI, solicitor general Tushar Mehta said CBI has so far registered nine FIRs against different ADAG entities and that in seven FIRs, the total sum involved is Rs 27,337 crore. He narrated the broad contours of the investigations and the progress made, and said four people have been arrested and 31 lookout circulars issued.When Bhushan persisted with his complaint of the agencies not arresting Anil Ambani, the latter’s counsel Kapil Sibal said the only agenda seems to be to get Anil Ambani arrested. “He has cooperated with the investigation and is not a flight risk,” he said.Senior advocate Shyam Divan, for ADAG, said attachment orders against two companies — Reliance Power and Reliance Infra — have caused loss of reputation to the two. Sibal and Divan repeatedly tried to persuade the bench to write one line in the order — “SC has not expressed any opinion on the merits of the case …” The bench did not accept Sibal’s request.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosVijay Claims Support Of 118 MLAs, Likely To Take Oath As Tamil Nadu CM TomorrowTN Political Crisis Deepens: Stalin Pushes Governor For Swift ActionAir India AI 171 Crash Probe In Final Stage, Report Likely Within A MonthTwo States, Two Big Winners: Suvendu Gets Bengal, Vijay Eyes Tamil NaduShah Hails BJP’s Historic Bengal Victory, Credits People’s Faith In ModiBJP Names Suvendu Adhikari As West Bengal’s First BJP Chief MinisterViral MLA Preference List Shows KC Venugopal Claiming Majority Support As Kerala CMTMC Leader Kunal Ghosh Says Bengal Violence Must Be Viewed From Two Different PerspectivesCongress-DMK Split And TVK Support Trigger Fresh INDIA Alliance TensionsPakistan’s Bizarre ‘Why Speak English?’ Reaction After India Details Op Sindoor Strikes123PhotostoriesThe Parenting Style of Every Zodiac Sign Mom5 Incredible animals with no cordsThink crocodiles are just dangerous?
