Delimitation Debate: What is Delimitation Exercise | Will it Strip Southern States of Power? [Video]

Delimitation Debate: What is Delimitation Exercise | Will it Strip Southern States of Power?

The upcoming delimitation exercise in India has ignited a fierce debate between the central government and southern states. The process, which involves redrawing Lok Sabha and state assembly constituencies based on population, could significantly impact the political representation of states like Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala, and Andhra Pradesh. With northern states experiencing higher population growth, delimitation may shift parliamentary seats in their favor, potentially reducing the South’s influence. Leaders like MK Stalin and Siddaramaiah are rallying against the move, calling it an unfair punishment for states that effectively controlled population growth. #Delimitation #SouthIndiaDelimitation #DelimitationDebate #NorthVsSouth #Delimitation2026 #DelimitationCommission #WhatIsDelimitation #DelimitationAct #LokSabhaDelimitation #DelimitationIndia #PoliticalRepresentation #SouthVsCentre #PopulationBasedSeats #IndianPolitics #FederalismDebate Also Read DMK Urges Centre To Use 1997 Population Data For Delimitation :: https://www.oneindia.com/chennai/dmk-urges-centre-to-use-1997-population-data-for-delimitation-4100993.html?ref=DMDesc Delimitation Rewards Population Growth, Punishes Control: DMK MP :: https://www.oneindia.com/chennai/delimitation-rewards-population-growth-punishes-control-dmk-mp-in-rajya-sabha-4098941.html?ref=DMDesc DMK Members Walk Out Of Lok Sabha Over Delimitation :: https://www.oneindia.com/chennai/dmk-members-walk-out-of-lok-sabha-over-delimitation-4097967.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.152~HT.336~GR.124~

India Pakistan Ceasefire: Shashi Tharoor DEFENDS Peace, Hits Back At Posts Comparing 1971 To 2025

As the Congress invoked Indira Gandhi's 1971 Bangladesh war leadership to criticize the Modi government’s ceasefire deal with Pakistan, senior leader Shashi Tharoor urged a clear-eyed view of history. Calling the 2025 scenario "entirely different," Tharoor said India needs peace, not endless escalation. He emphasized the importance of preventing protracted conflict, arguing that while retaliation against terrorism is necessary, risking national stability without clear goals is not. The comments mark a sharp political and strategic contrast to current government narratives amid rising border tensions. #ShashiTharoor #IndiaPakistan #Ceasefire #IndiraGandhi #1971War #PeaceOverWar #Congress #ModiGovt #BangladeshLiberation #TharoorSpeaks #ANI #PahalgamAttack #IndiaPolitics #TharoorOnPeace #BorderTensions #PakistanCeasefire #TerrorResponse #IndiaNews #CurrentAffairs #NationalSecurity #IndiaToday #WarAndPeace #TharoorInterview #PeaceTalks #KashmirIssue #NoToWar #SouthAsia #DiplomacyMatters #IndiaFirst #PoliticalDebate #ModiVsCongress Also Read Shashi Tharoor Slams Pakistan’s Ceasefire Breach With Shayari: 'Uski Fitrat Hai Mukar Jaane Ki...' :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/shashi-tharoor-slams-pakistan-s-ceasefire-breach-with-shayari-uski-fitrat-hai-mukar-jaane-ki-4150161.html?ref=DMDesc Tharoor Celebrates Evolution of Constitution Defenders from Historical Rejectors :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/descendants-of-constitution-rejectors-defending-it-tharoor-011-4149997.html?ref=DMDesc India-Pakistan Ceasefire: Congress Seeks PM-Chaired All-Party Meet, Leaders Hail Indira Gandhi's Era :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-pakistan-ceasefire-congress-seeks-pm-chaired-all-party-meet-leaders-hail-indira-gandhis-era-4149819.html?ref=DMDesc

Trump Heads To Saudi Amid ‘$400Bn Deal’ Buzz | Will U.S. Recognize Palestine Without Hamas?

Saudi Arabia is set to host the Gulf-US Summit in mid-May during former President Trump’s second-term visit, with high-stakes announcements expected. Speculation is mounting that the U.S. may back recognition of a Palestinian state—without Hamas—in a move that could realign the Middle East. Economic deals, including tech and nuclear cooperation, are forecast to surpass $400 billion. With all Gulf leaders in attendance (except King Salman due to health), analysts predict this summit may reshape U.S.-Saudi ties and the regional power balance. #Trump #GulfSummit #USSaudiRelations #RiyadhSummit #MiddleEastPolitics #Palestine #SaudiArabia #TrumpVisit #GlobalDiplomacy #EconomicDeals #TechAgreements #Trump2025 #Riyadh #GulfLeaders #ArabWorld #MideastPeace #TrumpReturns #NuclearDeals #GulfNews #JerusalemPost #BreakingNews #Summit2025 #TrumpAbroad #ForeignPolicy #ArabSummit #PalestinianState #Geopolitics #TrumpSpeech #OilPolitics #GlobalImpact Also Read India-Saudi Arabia Relations: F15 Jets Escort PM Modi's Aircraft | Watch Video :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-saudi-arabia-relations-f15-jets-escort-pm-modi-aircraft-watch-video-4130835.html?ref=DMDesc PM Modi Hails India-Saudi Ties as Pillar of Stability in a Shifting World :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/pm-modi-hails-india-saudi-ties-as-pillar-of-stability-in-a-shifting-world-4130609.html?ref=DMDesc Energy, Defence, And Investment Top Agenda For PM Modi’s Saudi Arabia Visit :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/modi-saudi-visit-2025-strategic-ties-energy-trade-4129827.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.408~

How the U.S Forced Pakistan Into a Ceasefire With India | IMF, Military and the CIA’s Crucial Role

Behind the scenes of the India-Pakistan ceasefire lies calculated pressure from the United States. Relying heavily on U.S.-controlled IMF loans and military aid, Pakistan was reportedly nudged by Washington to de-escalate. The U.S. is believed to have used its sway over Pakistan’s military, intelligence ties, and influence in international forums—possibly with help from Saudi Arabia—to defuse tensions. The strategic move helped avoid a full-scale conflict, as India also agreed to the ceasefire to ensure economic stability and regional peace. #IndiaPakistan #Ceasefire #USDiplomacy #IMF #Geopolitics #SouthAsia #USPressure #MilitaryAid #CIA #PakistanArmy #Modi #Bajwa #GlobalPolitics #WashingtonMoves #DiplomaticLeverage #RegionalStability #ConflictResolution #IndiaPakistanTensions #PeacePush #USInfluence #SaudiMediation #SouthAsiaNews #USForeignPolicy #IndiaNews #PakistanNews #StrategicAffairs #CeasefireDeal #GlobalInfluence #EconomicLeverage #MilitaryTies #USIMF ~HT.318~GR.124~ED.346~

FOUR Houthi Missile Strikes in 24 Hours Shake Israel; Iron Dome Fails to Stop ‘Palestine-2’ Barrage? [Video]

FOUR Houthi Missile Strikes in 24 Hours Shake Israel; Iron Dome Fails to Stop ‘Palestine-2’ Barrage?

Israel faced a dramatic escalation as Yemen’s Houthi rebels launched four ballistic missile attacks within 24 hours, targeting key military sites and population centers. Among the weapons used was the "Palestine-2" hypersonic missile, which reportedly struck near Tel Aviv, triggering widespread air raid sirens and panic. Though the Israeli Defense Forces claim successful interceptions, missile debris injured civilians and landed as far as a kindergarten. The Iron Dome's effectiveness is now under scrutiny as the Houthis vow more strikes and warn Muslim nations against remaining silent. Despite U.S. airstrikes in Yemen killing hundreds of militants, the Houthi barrage continues, threatening to widen the regional conflict. #HouthiMissileAttack #HouthisVsIsrael #IsraelUnderAttack #HouthiRebels #Palestine2Missile #IsraelStrikesHouthis #HouthisAttackIsrael #IsraelHouthiConflict #HouthiDroneStrike #MiddleEastTensions #YemenIsraelCrisis #IronDomeFailure #IsraelNewsUpdate #HouthiBallisticMissile #IDFResponse Also Read Immense Pressure From Families Of Hostages: Netanyahu Says Israel Has To Continue Fighting In Gaza :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/immense-pressure-from-families-of-hostages-netanyahu-says-israel-has-to-continue-fighting-in-gaza-4128785.html?ref=DMDesc Israel Detains, Deports 2 Female UK MPs; Britain Calls It 'Unacceptable, Deeply Troubling' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-detains-deports-2-female-uk-mps-britain-calls-it-unacceptable-deeply-troubling-4116053.html?ref=DMDesc Explainer: How Israel’s Growing Entry Restrictions Are Blocking Doctors and Aid Workers from Gaza :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/explainer-how-israels-growing-entry-restrictions-are-blocking-doctors-and-aid-workers-from-gaza-4096773.html?ref=DMDesc
