SIR an attempt to change nature of Indian nation, says Parakala Prabhakar
The article alleges voter suppression targeting specific demographics, raising serious concerns about electoral integrity.
Parakala Prabhakar, an economist and political commentator, claims the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral roll in India is an attempt to alter the nation's demographic makeup. He argues that the revision disproportionately affects women voters, Muslim voters, and young voters, suggesting a targeted effort to influence election outcomes. Prabhakar cites evidence from Bihar, where the SIR led to significant seat changes in subsequent Assembly elections, and suggests the second phase of the revision is even more problematic.
