Will these migrants be considered northerners in the voting system? in which case their native state should get proportional representation.
Or will they become TN residents, representing the new wave of Hindi/North cultural invasion 2.0?
The same way that the millions of Indians have moved throughout the country and settled in different states. They can stay in any State for any amount of time, however to vote in local elections, they must get themselves de-registered at their native place and re-registered in their new place of residence after they qualify to get the local cards.
This is not something new, I dont know whether you are aware or not, but there are lakhs and lakhs of Tamil people alone in Delhi.
This goes against the fundamental principles of democracy.
It was decided by the Supreme Court to be the lesser of the two evils.
When the GoI pushed the state to adopt family planning, Southern States and some Eastern states were proactive and more successful. However that resulted in a skewed demographic representation. And to correct that it was decided that till the time the population of the entire country stabilizes, the old demographic distribution will be used as a base so as not to disadvantage those States which have been successful in family planning.
The entire nation agrees with it.
This freeze has been going on for decades now. This is not something new.
The representation is already frozen till about 2026 I think. And new estimates are that India's population will stabilize around 2035. So they will only have to extend it again once for a period of 10 years.
But will they do so going forward when their local electorate demands proportional representation at the national level?
The demands are not strong at all infact the demand for it is miniscule. Everyone agree's that this is the only fair thing to do - Southern States have been successful in population control and they must not suffer for being successful. They know it is the only fair way, plus SC has ratified it, plus as I said, the entire nation agree's with it.
The degree of resistance to Northern culture varies from state to state. However, the issue of proportional representation applies across the board.
As I said. There is no longer any resistance like what was seen in the old days. Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh are now practically in the mainstream India. There is no resistance against North Indian people like it used to be.
The only State still clinging on its old tune is Tamil Nadu. It remains to be seen how long they resist change when today Tamil Nadu itself is becoming industrialized at a pace only comparable to Gujarat and lakhs of people are migrating to Tamil Nadu and high professionals migrating out of Tamil Nadu.
