× The Lok Sabha, the lower house of India’s Parliament, plays a crucial role in shaping the legislative and democratic fabric of the nation. Comprising elected representatives from across the country, the Lok Sabha debates and passes laws that directly impact the lives of citizens. It serves as a vital forum for discussing national policies, upholding democratic accountability, and ensuring that governance remains transparent and inclusive. Through legislative scrutiny and deliberation, the Lok Sabha reflects the diverse voices and concerns of the Indian population.

× The agenda — “Post-Legislative Review of the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025: Examining Its Implications on Minority Rights, Secular Land Governance, and Federalism in India” — calls for a comprehensive assessment of one of the most significant legislative reforms in recent times. This post-legislative review focuses on understanding the real-world effects of the amended Waqf Act on India’s pluralistic social fabric and governance structure. Delegates will critically analyze how the Act has influenced minority rights, particularly in relation to property and religious freedoms. The discussion will also delve into the evolving balance between secular land management and religious endowments, raising questions about transparency, administrative autonomy, and state interference. Furthermore, the agenda will consider the federal implications of the legislation, evaluating the central-state dynamic in the context of land and religious governance. Delegates are expected to bring forth nuanced perspectives, grounded in legal, social, and political frameworks, to assess the effectiveness and consequences of this legislation.
