Women’s Bill – Is it really needed?
Yesterday women’s bill was introduced to the Rajya Sabha, which provides 33.3 percentage of seat in parliament and state assembly for woman. However the bill has got support from major political parties in India, there have been some oppositions. The main arguments which support the bill are
- It would increase the woman participation in political parties which result the empowerment of deprived women in India.
- It would bring gender equality.
In a democratic country like India political leaders are selected by the people based on their ability, qualities and their political views etc. These types of reservations will result the political parties to seek new candidates to fill their reserved seats. Finally deserved candidates will be expelled and the voters will have no other way to vote the new candidates. Already 22.5 percentage of seat has been reserved for scheduled cast and tribes, including this 33.3 percentage 55 percentage of parliament seat would be reserved.
We have lots of admired women leaders who have reached heights without the shadow of reservation. What I believe is that every one in India has opportunity beyond any limits of gender, cast and religion can reach to any position if they have the ability.
