Are we ready for it ?

“When Men delayed History in INDIA a Woman creates history” this was the headline from one of the leading newspaper “The Economic Times” . One day later the news was“Women bill passed”. I was trying to find out how good it is going to serve INDIA as a decision or it’s a just another political move? I am not definitely trying to put a dictum about how good or bad the decision was, but I have few facts to put and I leave the decision up to you.

So far all the political parties have terrible record of giving women a share in political representation. Take for example 2009 election there were 8070 candidates who contested in these polls. Only 7 percent that is 556 were women candidate. So is it there are less good women available for representation or it is something else ? if former is the case aren’t we compromising the nation future. I don’t have single instance in mind where the reservation has served any purpose other than making rich richer.

I was told by women friend of mine that this is exactly we need reservation because this will bring more representation from the community which is considered to be comparatively week. And I had to tell her that just in case if you don’t know “OBC and Muslim women not to be given representation” because our constitution says They can have reservation only in jobs and education but not in legislatures. I am very sorry to say that though it’s a very good move but was not being taken keeping the nation interest in mind. It was mere a political move by Sonia Gandhi to bring Rahul Gandhi to power. The process was initiated at this point because she wanted to widening parties base ,luring in to mainstream whole new constituencies hoping that this will guarantee 300 + seats in loksabha so Rahul Gandhi can be king when he becomes PM ?

When I tried to dig a little more on NOT what Sonia Gandhi really think about it but what she actually does , the facts were surprising. Despite the fact that she shouts it so loudly that she is for woman empowerment she had allotted just about 10% of total seats for women in last election. Mayawati party BSP did even worst by restricting it to 5%.

Check this fact , out of the 59 women MP s 40 to be precise were crorepatis. And - out of the 59 Female MP s 10 have criminal cases pending against them. That makes it 17% of the women representative are criminals. What bothers me is, will we be ever able to find good representatives with this Quota rules? Can my nation take this as well? We need good and Strong leaders irrespective of their Sex. Our Foreign policies are messed up , China growth is bothering us day by day and eating our employment , and our honorable representatives are too busy to give a damn about what country needs. Party comes first and then country. People told me that decisions come out after a proper discussion in Loksabha so I decided one day to listen to that as well. After listening to two hour of discussion I felt there is nothing what these buggers care about other than shouting at each other. There wasn’t a single healthy discussion in 2 hour session and no wonder why only stupid policies and decisions come out of this place.

My research on this bill was able to convince me that there is nothing actually that good as it was portrayed. It’s just yet another political move to increase vote bank and the nation is definitely not ready for it. It’s a very good thing to give reservation to women but maybe this is not the right time. I have not even an iota of doubt that women have better management capabilities than any of men can ever have but there is lot of homework to be done before we expect that we as a nation can actual reap the benefit out of the capabilities our female counterparts have.And reserving seats in LS definitely doesn't serves the purpose helping them to grow by giving them equal space does.Celebrating every day as women's day does, Giving them the respect they always deserved and ever denied, Does.
