The idea of Women's Reservation Bill was mooted during former prime minister H D Deve Gowda's tenure. Over 10 years have passed but it has not gathered a consensus among political parties.Why?

Don't know the percentage , but I do think women should be encouraged to enter politics in a big way and some handicap given to them to make it easier .Half the population of India is the smart ,capable and intelligent woman ,,how can she be bypassed ? She can bring much to the table . It has not yet passed consensus because the people deciding their fate are men and the few women in power are not doing much about it .... this issue has to be taken seriously .

What is happening to equality and democracy in India to come up with such proposals ? Why reservation of 33%, women have all the right to contest and win even 100% of parliament if they want to. How are they going to implement this in a democracy ? Have only women contest elections in 33% of constituencies ? or put them directly in parliament ?

Who stopped thm from contesting?? Gud question.......no one stopped the women but in this male-dominated society, some corrective actions are required.But only in the short run. Say for a period of 5-10 years. That is it or may be even less. Lookat this, women constitue around 50% of the population (may b statistically wrong, but the figure is aroun that only), but their representation is policy making, administration is very less. Hence, an affirmative action is required to correct the situation. But this reservation is supposed to empower them and equip them with the opportunity to make a difference. They should try to benefit themselves. But if this reservation issue becomes a permanent feature, then our country is doomed........just the way we have problems pertaining to the reservations of the backward classes, sc, st etc........ if this reservation for women continues for another 50-60 years, it would become reverse discrimination ......like the general category is suffering these days.,....... also, all this reservation n all will help if n only if the attitude of the society in general n the male counter parts in particular towards the women of the society changes....

i dont know if this "reservation" psyche is going to help us every time. probably few years initially and then scrap; not sure about the percentage too. But then the gender bias where ever existing should be shed out from the society - in every walk of life.

Its the males who dont want the women to swell in the parliament. Aakhir, we all know females cant keep things tight in their mouth n will blurt out the secrets of the bloody politicians..

I dont believe in reservations of any kind. If women are inclined to it then nothing stops them from contesting any of the posts as these are not reserved for women. The problem arises because very few women are interested in poltics and even if there are reservations, there wouldnt be as many capable women reps. Unless we consider the likes of Rabri as a candiate who is basically the rubber stamp for Lalu yadav. what will happen incase of reservations is that all the men who have a criminal record would put up their wives as candidates and once elected, rule by proxy.

Reservations for women does not make sense to me. Reservations is not a solution. It weakens society and causes unfairness. I'm sure that if they are interested, they can stand for elections and get voted in power. This effort needs to be put into education and making them more competent.
