 The Women’s Reservation Bill has been a political sore point for over a decade now, often sparking heated debates in Parliament and beyond. While the proponents of the Bill have been trying to use it as a political stunt to woo women voters, its opponents have kept up their efforts to stunt its progress by describing it as elitist.
After ensuring the first woman President and the first woman Lok Sabha Speaker, the UPA is determined to enact the Women's Reservation Bill. Will it find political support this time around? Is reservation of seats the only way to ensure that women get to play a bigger role in decision-making? Will the advent of more women in legislatures alter the quality of governance?
Are those opposing the Bill, fighting for equality or being worried about losing out on the political fortunes that the move may ensure? Join us for a debate on The Big Fight.
