Answer:
Explanation:
“Men have already made a mess of the world. Let them quit the field and make way for women.” This is what a lady member of the Lok Sabha said one day during a discussion on the Women’s Reservation Bill. There has been a strong demand from a section of the society to reserve at least 33 per cent seats for women in the legislative bodies like the Panchayats, Municipal Corporation, State Assemblies, the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha. Even though the demand has already been accepted and implemented in the case of the Local bodies, it has yet to be accepted in the case of the other state and national level legislative bodies.
Apart from the women themselves, several political parties are also strongly supporting this idea of reservation of seats for women. They argue that ever since the creation of this world, women have always been at the receiving end. They have been exploited and burdened with the household duties and prevented from having a free, independent life or status of their own. They were confined to the four walls of the house, kept behind the veil and used as nothing more than sex dolls. With the advance of civilization, women have proved their worth and left men far behind in several fields. It is because of this only have inspired their male partners to do wonders in their respective fields. It is because of this only that it is said that behind every successful man there a woman that makes him achieve great heights. In spite of all this women continue to be discriminated against. Many a female foetus is destroyed and not allowed to see the light of the day. A majority of the female children are still not being sent to schools and are being deprived of their right to education. Male chauvinists continue to treat them as inferior beings fit only to look after their children or household affairs.
