Can Women Reservation Bill Save Women – The Sufferer Gender
Can Women Reservation Bill Save Women – The Sufferer Gender
Women reservation bill is again on table after fourteen years and I want to know the opinion of rest of people on this issue.
I have few things in my mind which I will like to share.
1.Lets start from birth, it is a well known fact that female sex is biologically stronger than the male gender. it is seen that they reach development index faster than their twin brothers still the sex ratio goes in favor of males (1000:927).
2.Girls perform dual duty of helping their mother at home and studying, now their area of work has expanded because they know driving and are able to handle outer world and can perform works which were earlier reserved for their male
3. In home front majority of events are managed by women she is considered the pivot of family but at the time of major decisons batten goes in the hand of male member of the family.
4.In case of politics, women are discouraged by their family in the biginimng, then they are discriminated at the time of giving tickets for elections , many a time they are given post under political strategy (qualities efficiency gets sidelined).
Why Reservation-
After fourteen years women reservation bill seeking 33 percent reservation in state legislature and parliament is again tabled, which is resisted by many parties supporting reservation of Sc, STs and OBCs in various competitive exams and services. It is seen that candidates in reserved categories often score higher marks than the unreserved categories, why this favor to them when they have reached the desired level.
As far as women is concerned their position si same irrespective of class to which they belong. They have inhibition which checks their growth and stop them from coming to public life specially politics, as a result of which opinion of fifty percent of Indian population remains unexpressed. A women playing very important role in the smallest unit of society i.e family can help alot by putting forward real needs people and fighting for them.
Women at M.P are having reservation in local body and are performing well now.So why not give 33% (to the 50% of population) if not 50% reservation to them.
