New Indian Parliament was inaugurated by PM in 2023. There are talks about increase in seats in Parliament which may impact the Southern states and shift the power dynamics in favor of Hindi speaking states. Especially after recent loss of BJP in Karnataka assembly elections, BJP is left with no state government in south India. The governments of the five states of south are led by different parties. The complete contrary trend in southern states is not new, even in 1977 Lok Sabha elections, while the congress was wiped out of Hindi heartland, it continued to hold onto seats in south. Similarly BJP has been trying to peak its popularity in Southern states but to no avail and is finding it difficult to get some substantive share in voting percentage and seats. In this podcast we discuss impact of new parliament and how Southern politics is different form Hindi heartland politics. Emergency 1975: Why it happened?

We all get knocked down by life but what matters is how we bounce back. Do not limit yourself because of the fear of failure. In every process of reaching a goal, we encounter challenges, but once we understand that failure is apart of process, we get encouraged to counter punch as there is a deviation in every path. We associate failure with the outcome but every action has multiple consequences and one out of it can be that we don't succeed in it it but its so hard to accept it that we often go into parallel zone and don't realize the harm we are doing to ourselves. We need to realize that failure that is associated to outcome can change later as well. So failing is a task is secondary, primary is planning and acting on something and then we may succeed at certain point. Faliure teaches us the path not to be taken. So don't consider failing in something to be end rather consider it to be new beginning. Follow me on Instagram: @thepunditspodcast twitter: @anujjsharma_92
