About this listen

Does the ECI have the authority to launch a Special Intensive Revision (SIR)? Can voter-roll revisions quietly morph into citizenship adjudication? And as SIRs roll out across multiple states, what role must courts, civil society, and “we the people” play in defending a franchise built on inclusion rather than suspicion?

In this episode, LAOT host Arnav Mathur speaks with constitutional law scholar Satya Prasoon about the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) - a seemingly technical exercise in Bihar that has become one of the most significant constitutional flashpoints of the year. What began as an electoral clean-up now raises deep questions about citizenship, disenfranchisement, and the expanding reach of the Election Commission.
