Close to the midnight hour on the last day of the special session of parliament, Prime Minister Narendra Modi was seen posing for photos with hordes of laughing, chattering women MPs at the new building. The group had gathered to record a historic moment -- the passing of the women's reservation bill that allows them 33 per cent reservation in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies. A huge bouquet was presented to the Prime Minster and the women, cutting across party lines, offered sweets to each other.
