How do territorial representation and social representation work together in India's electoral system?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Constituencies represent areas and reserved seats give voice to disadvantaged groups

Correct answer: A. Territorial representation begins by dividing the country into constituencies. Each constituency elects a representative for the people living in that geographical area, so local concerns can reach the legislature. Social representation adds an inclusion dimension. Reserved constituencies are provided for certain historically disadvantaged groups, such as Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, so that these groups have opportunities to elect representatives from among them under the constitutional and legal framework. The two ideas serve different purposes but work together: one connects representation to place, while the other seeks fairer participation of disadvantaged communities. B is wrong because both arrangements are intended to support participation, not stop it. C is wrong because tax collection is not their defining function. D is wrong because the judiciary is a separate branch. Memory cue: constituency answers “which area?”, reservation helps answer “whose voice must not be missing?”
