(34) Lakshadweep - 1

(35) Pondicherry - 1

(36) Anglo-Indians (if nominated 2 by the President under Article 331 of the Constitution)

As we have seen that states do not have equal representation, thus do you think it will affect the benefits, policy making of central government?
More members in lower house mean more benefits to that particular state.

Thus India needs to reform this and bring some type of equality among the states in lower house.
