Arrow's theorem is a formal proof that no voting system can be perfectly fair when there are three or more choices—it’ll always have some flaw like being dictatorial or irrational. But yaar, studying it in Delhi, I see how our politics is all about building coalitions *despite* these flaws. Our system isn't about finding a perfect mathematical rule, it's about the messy compromise after. That’s why my father’s village, with three candidates from the same family, still manages to pick someone—not because the method is perfect, but because they talk it out over a hookah until they find a way forward.
