Well, that Punjab project has hit something of a rut: Indusians, Madhyarashtra, Gadhavi, Kaabaarabianemirate, and 4 othersBeggystan, Pallapati, Angry saffron, and Legendenex |
So, here is another question: In the legislative assembly of undivided Punjab, there were not only seats for geographic areas (urban & rural); there were also seats for specific communities. These numbered as follows: The question then arises as to whether such "special" seats could ever survive into a modern electoral system. These were often wildly disproportionate; Most landholders, for example, ran unopposed as there were few electors. Indeed, only ten Baloch Tumandars voted in the election (Jamal Khan Leghari of the Unionist Party won unopposed).

It's not just partisan elements at play either, but institutional and religious. Hindus and Sikhs share an electoral roll: How do both communities agree that a constituency should only allow Sikh or Hindu candidates, or be open to candidates of either faith? If, say, a constituency is reserved for Sikh candidates only, how are Hindu voters supposed to react - especially if Sikh parties (Akali Dal or similar) make no effort to act on behalf of Hindus? Must said party broaden its appeal to all voters on their roll; Sikh, Hindu, Buddhist and Jain? Does Sikh/Khalistani nationalism become sidelined when these parties must broaden their appeal? Can Hindutva/Hindu nationalism make inroads when a set number of seats is always assigned to Sikhs? Take the other voters' roll: It is dominated by the (orthodox) Muslim population, even though Ahmadiyyas and Christians vote on it. Can the Muslim community, much more numerous, deny Christians representation? Or would the Punjabi version of the electoral commission demand some seats be restricted to Christian electoral candidates? Could said commission insist Shi'as have similar representation, despite Punjabi Muslims not really having such a sectarian view of their community? Would political parties form cross-community alliances? Could any one political party (like the Unionist Party of Punjab, in the 1940s) see electoral success on both electoral rolls? Or would Muslim parties work with Muslim parties, and Hindu/Sikh parties likewise? Would an electoral system as I propose (300 seats to Muslims, 300 seats to Hindus/Sikhs) lead to greater religious polarisation in this alternate-history "united Punjab", or religious harmony? Or is politics always politics, and the question is null? Madhyarashtra, Gadhavi, Kaabaarabianemirate, Beggystan, and 2 othersAngry saffron, and Legendenex |
Y'all, this one Muslim dude that came on KBC, I hated him. He said this one dialogue from a movie, but he said he can't remember the movie name because the dialogue is from Tiranga. Of course he wouldn't say the movie name because it was a movie name against his country Pakistan!

The People's Confederacy of Vajji That guy was pretty cool and he reached the 1 crore question. And most importantly he was from Pune. That's my city. Now prepare yourself to get wrecked! Neo Kerala, Rihaam, Gadhavi, Kaabaarabianemirate, and 3 othersBeggystan, Pallapati, and Legendenex |

Any thoughts on what I raised above? I often think about these kind of political questions - especially as they relate to both alternate-history as well as real life. Madhyarashtra, Gadhavi, Kaabaarabianemirate, Beggystan, and 2 othersAngry saffron, and Legendenex |
The Dharmic Commonwealth of Pallapati I liked the guy. Thats such an awful thing to say. There are 29,000 soldiers in India who are Muslim. Just because they are Muslim you can't act like they are from Pakistan. Also, one of the greatest Indian dudes is a muslim. Talking about Kalam. Thats such an awful thing to stereotype. I really thought you would know better. Hyderabad-state, Neo Kerala, Madhyarashtra, Gadhavi, and 4 othersKaabaarabianemirate, Beggystan, Vajji, and Legendenex |

The People's Confederacy of Vajji Umm no. Favorite is only used in your country. The rest of the world uses the original British spelling: favourite. Tbh these days people use both spellings so don't be a dumb grammar nazi. Indusse, Neo Kerala, Madhyarashtra, Gadhavi, and 4 othersKaabaarabianemirate, Beggystan, Pallapati, and Legendenex |
