[Jayaprakash Narayan @JP_LOKSATTA]

Now that the 131st Amendment Bill failed, allocation of Lok Sabha seats will be based on 2026 census data.

As per current estimates, seven States will likely lose 35 seats: AP (-5), Telangana (-3), TN (-10), Karnataka (-2), Kerala (-7), Odisha (-4), and WB (-4).

Four States will likely gain 34 seats: UP (+12), Bihar (+10), MP (+5), and Rajasthan (+7).

BJP is widely believed to be the potential beneficiary of redistribution of seats to States based on 2026 population.

In a stunning act of self-denial, the NDA government came forward to freeze the current share of States based on the 1971 census data. There could be many reasons for BJP committing to such a freeze - putting the nation above the party, paving the way for expanding their footprint in the South, or avoiding a divisive issue when the nation has to focus on growth and prosperity in the face of global challenges. Whatever be the motivation of BJP, the seven States that lost share of population are offered an unexpected gift. You don't look a gift horse in the mouth!

Surprisingly, the parties which have great stakes in the South and East have scored a spectacular self goal. This is a classic case of cutting the nose to spite the face.

In 2001, as the freeze in seats was expiring, I was deeply involved in persuading the then Vajpayee government to continue the freeze in the number of seats allocated to States for another 25 years. An unwieldy coalition and the economic challenge posed by external sanctions after the Pokharan explosion demanded national unity, and the parties responded with the 84th Amendment. Now again a priceless opportunity arose, and the Opposition squandered it without any strategic thinking.

If political animosity makes you oblivious of your own interest, or larger interests of fostering unity and focusing on growth and harmony, it is a sign of dysfunctional politics.

I appeal to all parties to come together and find a harmonious solution to the thorny problem of seats allocation in the face of demographic imbalances. National unity and our quest for opportunity and prosperity for all demand a fair and swift resolution.

In the long run migration will resolve the imbalances. Already millions of migrant workers are building and sustaining the economies of several States in the South, West and North. That is why, despite low fertility rate, Maharashtra's share of the population is increasing.
In the US, dramatic internal migration changed the demography and representation over the years. People move freely to States where there is growth and jobs are created. In a century, Florida increased its representation in the US Congress from 4 to 28, California from 11 to 52, Texas from 18 to 38, and Washington from 5 to 10. Owing to outward migration, New York lost seats, from 43 to 26, Pennsylvania from 36 to 17, Illinois from 27 to 17, Ohio from 22 to 15, and Missouri from 16 to 8.

We should make it easy for people to migrate to other States and recognize and respect their constitutional rights everywhere and make their life easier and safe. That will resolve our demographic challenges. Most states reached low fertility levels, and Bihar, UP, MP, Rajasthan and Jharkhand too are going to reach there in a few years.

We need a reasoned and pragmatic approach to grow together and become strong. Let us persuade parties to shed inflammatory and divisive rhetoric and focus on quality education and skills and opportunities for all.

सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने कल, मार्च 11 को एक ऐतिहासिक फ़ैसले में OBC के non-creamy layer (NCL) के मामले में बड़ा बदलाव कर दिया है।

सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने कहा है कि अगर माता-पिता Group IV में सरकारी नौकरी करते हैं और अगर उनकी आय ₹8 लाख/वर्ष से ऊपर हो गई है, तो भी उसे क्रीमी लेयर में नहीं जोड़ा जाएगा। साथ ही, ऐसे मामलों में कृषि आय को भी नहीं जोड़ा जाएगा। केवल ‘अन्य स्रोतों’ (बिजनेस, प्रॉपर्टी आदि) से परिवारिक आय (3 साल) ₹8 लाख/वर्ष से कम होनी चाहिए।

SC के निर्णय के अनुसार DoPT ने 2004 में जो पत्र निकाला था, उसका पैरा 9 अब अमान्य हो गया है। इस अनुसार बैंक/प्राइवेट नौकरी वालों की सैलरी मात्र को क्रिमी लेयर नहीं माना जा सकता। ऐसे मामलों में पहले पोस्ट की सरकारी ग्रुप III और IV के साथ equivalence तय किया जाएगा। तब तक केवल 1993 OM लागू रहेगा।

इस निर्णय का फ़ायदा अनेकों ऐसे लोगों को मिलेगा, जिन्हें पहले क्रीमी लेयर की ग़लत परिभाषा के कारण OBC रिजर्वेशन से बाहर रखा गया और वो नौकरी में तो हैं, लेकिन सही कैडर में नहीं हैं।

ऐसे सभी मामलों में पिछले डेट (retrospectively) ये फैसला लागू होगा।

DOPT को इसे लागू करने के लिए 6 महीने का समय दिया गया है। अगर ज़रूरी हुआ, तो supernumerary posts बनायी जायेंगी, ताकि दूसरे वर्गों के कर्मचारियों की सीनियरिटी पर असर न आए।

भविष्य के Civil Services Examination (CSE) में वैध OBC-NCL सर्टिफिकेट (DM/तहसीलदार से) को प्राथमिकता; सैलरी आधारित रिजेक्शन बंद।

इस निर्णय से OBC आरक्षण का मूल मकसद बहाल होगा।

रोहित नाथन (CSE-2012), केतन बैच (CSE-2015) जैसे अनेकों मामलों में DoPT को 6 महीने में re-verification कर OBC-NCL स्टेटस देना होगा।

*A Heartwarming Story From Indian Army*

One Grizzly Bear (Himalayan Brown Bear) family used to visit us at xxxx post in Siachen. Initially, only during nights.

We started keeping food for the family.
Their confidence in us developed over a period, and they even started coming during day.

There was also a bear cub about an year old. It used to come with his mother, but after about 6 months, it was either deserted by the mother or got lost. Then it started roaming alone, but it had problems, since the dogs in the post wouldn't let it come close.

When we saw this, we started tying the dogs. The confidence grew and it started to come close.

We named him Bahadur after the Company's name- Bahadur Company.

For a few days, we couldn't see Bahadur. One day, one of my posts, which used get cut off due to 60 feet of snow, reported that Bahadur is roaming around with his head stuck in a tin box.

This post was about 800 metres from my Company Headquarter.

I took 6 boys with me and went to rescue the bear myself. It's not that I wasn't concerned about boys safety; but I still decided to do the rescue.

When we reached the place, the bear was roaming with the tin box around its head, over a cornice probably without food for last 3 days. It was making circles on the cornice. _(Cornice - An overhanging mass of hardened snow at the edge of a mountain precipice.)_

Basically, cornice is a false extension of ground made by hard snow over a period of time, and it can't take too much weight.
It can break off and can lead to an Avalanche.

So, it was very difficult to go closer to the bear to rescue it.

I found the lightest boy from my group and briefed him to go close to the bear and tie the rope around his neck.

We also tied a rope to the waist also to pull him in case the cornice breaks down.

This boy was nervous to get close to the bear.

After about over 3 mins, I decided to rescue the bear on my own.

The bear was approached by me on my knees and I pulled him out of the cornice as quickly as possible to avoid breaking off the cornice.

After bringing the bear to safety, we tied it with ropes to take it to our xxxx post, where we could release him after removing the tin box.

It took almost a kind of surgery to cut the tin box without damaging the ears and neck of the bear.

We gave him food and released him after taking all safety precautions. When we released him, he didn't go away for a good 3 hours.

But after that it became part of my Company.

Whenever we shouted his name -Bahadur, it always appeared from nowhere.

It still comes to the post for food.

Although the Story is very Heartwarming, please do also take a moment to appreciate the very difficult conditions and the environment the Indian Army is guarding our Borders. Furthermore, do also see and acknowledge the accommodation they are staying with bare minimum amenities. It takes a special kind of men to do this.

A big Salute to the Soldiers of the Indian Army. Jai Hind!
