The book Demography, Representation, Delimitation: The North–South Divide in India is authored by Ravi K Mishra. It examines the critical debates around delimitation, focusing on the redrawing of Lok Sabha constituency boundaries and its implications for representation in India. Mishra highlights the demographic divide between the northern and southern states, countering the idea that southern states deliberately controlled population growth. Instead, he argues that they simply moved earlier through the demographic transition. His work provides an in-depth analysis of representation, fairness, and the challenges of balancing political power across regions.
