NEVIN2008 said: i think, political issues apart, seen from the legal perspective, there is great merit for opposing women's reservation,but as in every case, there is no room for sane voices to be heard..... our constitution abhors discrimination on the basis of sex alone, but what it does permit is reservation for women and children as a special measure.... as for instance giving them privileged access to education and other social welfare measures to ameliorate the status of women. As with any other reservation regime, these must be tested on the touchstone of existing handicap or a policy of enhacing representation of women for achieving a particular purpose.... Reservation can be best enforced by resorting to preference to women candidates over men.... other things being equal. The consequences of gender based wholesale reservations are yet to be seen..... and possibly may be far serious than we can envisage today.Gender based reservations too would be antimeritarian May 22, '08 |

IN_MY_BOX said: I dont see there is a need to make this into law, Why should there be a % for anyone, Why cant each party decide to have more woman in there side, If congress in the next election was to have lets say 500 men and 500 woman stand for election the public could decide them self, But as we all know, there is a better chance if there was a woman drug deler or killer she would win, why not, there being so many such men mp,s May 22, '08 |

dhrubvaranasi said: Reservation in its principle itself is not to support any group or any category but is to be used by different political parties in their favour for vote bank plitics. Otherwise what is needed to give enough support morally & financially irrespective of cast- creed & religions & the necessary security & infrastructure to be provided to each citizen, the question of reservation for any ctaegories would not arise. Every individual is thinking in its own interest other wise no one should have raised voices to cover OBC belonging to even elight classes to be covered under reservation. RJD thinks that women in the socalled forward community would grab the more position that would change the composition of the assembly. So the cast based politics adopted by the political parties may not gain momentum again May 20, '08 |
