The Dalai Lama has been the spiritual head of Tibetan Buddhism for the last 500 years. When a Dalai Lama passes away, a council of high priests in Tibet carries out the search for his reincarnation. They consult various signs and oracles, as well as the Dalai Lama's own writings and teachings, to guide them in their search. They look for a child who was born around the time of the previous Dalai Lama's death. Historically, China has aggressively pushed for having one of their own as the Dalai Lama, and have justified their demands by labeling the legitimately selected Dalai Lama as a separatist, trying to split Tibet from China.

Tenzin Gyatso, who is the 14th Dalai Lama, went into exile in India after the failure of the Tibetan revolt to thwart China’s attempts to force the annexation of Tibet in 1959, and has gone on to become a renowned world leader. He has historically advanced a moderate approach on the Tibet-China conflict, suggesting increased representation of Tibetan ethnic minorities in China as one of the solutions, as opposed to demanding for an independent Tibet.

He is 88 years of age as of today, and has been contemplating the future of the Dalai Lama. One of the things that he has suggested is that the Dalai Lama would not be reincarnated, i.e. he has suggested abandoning the position as a whole because he believes that the Dalai Lama has “served its purpose”. Not reincarnating is equivalent to a permanent abandonment of the position

The Lok Sabha is the lower house of India’s Parliament and its primary legislative body. States were initially allocated electoral constituencies (which translate to seats for MPs in the Lok Sabha) based on their current populations. 

However, the 84th Amendment froze this allocation to 1971 levels to prevent penalizing states that successfully implemented the Centre’s family planning initiatives after that year. Consequently, southern states like Tamil Nadu and Kerala, which effectively executed these programs, now have more MPs than their present populations warrant, while northern states such as Madhya Pradesh have fewer MPs. 

But starting in 2031, this freeze will expire, and India will resume redistricting every ten years, ensuring that states get Lok Sabha seats that reflect states’ current populations
