Reservation for Women in the Political Process of India
Abstract
About 50% of the population consists of women. They could bring about qualitative change in the governance of the country. Unfortunately women are not provided opportunities to take part effectively in the political process of India. Reservation for women could bring about opportunities for women to participate more effectively in the political process of India. In this paper an attempt has been made to analyze the importance of reservation for women under the headings women in the political process of India, reservation in the Panchayati Raj Institutions, reservation in the Legislatures and proposed alternative Women’s Reservation Bill.
