GENDER POLITICS!!!!!!!!


India creates history! Yes for the first time in history Indian politicians have showed this world a new form of politics-Gender politics. I still dont understand how media called it a red lettered day etc etc. What wonders me is tht already the much needed talented people are leaving India because of reservation and all tht stuff. The only thing to cheer about in this bill is tht the reservation is applicable only for Parliamentary seats and not in any science activity or research(lol). The bill says 1/3 of total seats in Parliament is reserved for women. But my sincere doubt is 'Is this really needed?' Y cant women fight and try to win all the 545 seats in the Parliament?? Every day i read news of women being harassed in their work place or somewhere. When women are not even able to roam freely what is the point in having a reservation for them? And this is gonna make all inexperienced women come into politics. For ex. in a particular constituency if Mr. X is supposed to contest and later if tht particular constituency is gonna be reserved for women tht Mr.X wont allow any women from his party to contest. Instead hes gonna make Mrs.X contest and tht Mrs.X is just gonna nod her head to whatever Mr.X says. Dont think tht such things dont happen. Think what happened in Bihar. When Lalu was thrown out he made Mrs.Lalu the CM of Bihar. The sad part is Mrs.Lalu doesnt know to sign also. What is the point in having such women in politics? This reservation is gonna create more and more problems. I dont think ordinary women will be empowered because of this bill. The biggest highlight is certain parties are asking for reservation for women belonging to Scheduled Caste and other backward castes. One thing is very clear. If u wanna learn politics or learn how to get votes(not thrgh fair means) better be a politican in India.
