After a long struggle the bill has been passed in Rajya sabha of Indian parliament with a thmping majority. Now it has to go thru Lower house of the parliament and similar bill has to be passed by the state assemblies after which the 33% of the seats are reserved for the women.
Okay,Women can feel happy about the news.The sitting male MPs are little bit worried about their political future.But it may not be true.
It is doubtful if an ordinary woman can get a ticket to contest in Indian democracy.You need to spend crores of rupees to be in politics( ofcourse you can take it back with in few years).
So who are going to be the benefeciaries?. They are the wives ,daughters and relatives of sitting male MPs.
We know how the husbands of local body members are influencial at panchayat levels. In India no woman at any level ,is free from their family commitments.
But, we have done our moral job to give equal rights to our women.
It is upto women to effectively utilise their oppurtunity and work for the betterment of the country.
