Women's Reservation Bill

In the recent past, I wrote quite few times on Telangana statehood issue. I want to give a break and now write on Women's Reservation Bill.

I haven't read lot of stuff on this bill but I feel it's a good move from whatever I analyzed in the last couple of days. Before I explain why I feel it is good bill, I feel it is not socialized and discussed in the media and people for sometime. I know that the bill is pending for last 14 years and discussed in Parliamentary and Cabinet meetings. It should have more debated and socialized in the public, I feel.

I like this bill only because of one main reason - the change in Indian politics.
I strongly feel that this bill pave way to change in Indian politics that many of us thinking for a while. We all like the politics to be changed but we feel helpless many times because we don't know ways and means to change the politics. The Indian politics are tightly coupled with money and muscle power and giving significant pie for women in Parliament and State Assemblies would reduce that power. By nature, we all know, that women in India are more fair and less corrupted. In addition, Women are more determined to get the things done - e.g Sonia Gandhi..:)

I see the arguments that 3 Yadavs(Laloo, Mulayam and Sharad)are making, feel baseless. You can't have reservation based on caste in Politics. We already have in Education and Employment and can't extend it. The Sonia's fear may be fact that if she agrees to OBC and Minority sub quota in Women's Reservation, then these 3 yadavs want same thing to be applied for other 67%, if not today but tomorrow. So better stay away from that mess. I feel that the Women Reservation is the best possible way that we have in front of us, to clean Indian politics. Who knows, we may see better India by 2020.

I saw Chandra Babu Naidu supporting the bill which is good. He is one of the politicians who benefited from women voting for TDP in 1999. He might be recalling those days.

Even I am writing here on Women's Reservation Bill, Somehow, I can't forget Telangana issue, it is pinging me in the back of my mind.I hope that Sonia Gandhi would take same strong and bold step on Telanagana too..
