...week's end, unable to pass a satisfactory bill, the Assembly voted to put off debate entirely until the government drafted a new map of electoral districts. With every Deputy's seat at stake, the arguments over the exact boundaries of each district might take months.

New Delhi fears harsh reaction to any changes, particularly in Punjab, with its proud Sikhs. Reduced to a minority (32%) among Hindi-speakers in an enlarged Punjab, the Punjabi-speaking Sikhs may turn their resentment into violence when the map-changers...
