Discuss the representation of socially disadvantaged sections in Indian electoral? in brief?
Answers
Answer:
The Indian Constitution makes the reservations for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in our legislatives. But the constitution does not make similar reservation for other disadvantaged groups. As such there is no reservation of seats in the Lok Sabha and State Assemblies for women. To improve the situation of women we should seek reservation of seats in the Lok Sabha and State Assemblies. For this purpose there should be demand for reserving one-third seats for women. For this purpose, we require an amendment to the constitution. Though several times such an amendment has been proposed in parliament but has not yet been passed.
Representation of The Electorate
The primary function of the Parliament is to represent the people of the country. It is the supreme forum through which the people seek to realise their aspirations, urges and expectations. The different parties in the Parliament represent the different cultures and societies of India.
