Comprehension The Constitution guarantees every c itizen the fundamental ri ght to equality. Yet afte r 50 years of independe nce, just o ne perusal of the female infant mortal ity figures, the literacy rates and the employment opportunities for women is sufficient evidence that discr imination exists. A lmost predictably, th is gender, b ias is evident in our polit ical system as wel l. In the 1 3th Lok Sabha there were only 43 women MPs out of a total of 543; it is not surprising figure, for never has women ’s representation in parl iament bee n more than 10 percent.

Historically, the manifestos of major politi cal parties have a lways encouraged women ’s partic ipation. It has been a charade. So, women ’s organization denied a pla ce on merit, opted for the last resort: a reservation of seats for women in parl iament and State Assemblies. Part ies wh ich look at everything w ith a vote bank in mind seemed to en dorse this. A las, th is too was a mira ge.
