33% reservation for women in Parliament.

Hey women folk of India why are you not taking the 33% reservation bill in Parliament and state legislatures seriously?

I don't understand how can you people even be so negligent and careless to take what you rightly deserve?

Well frankly speaking I don't understand why it is fixed at 33% and called as reservation.... it should in fact be 50% seats for men and 50% seats for women every elections, maybe the constituencies can be changed on a rotation basis.

It did not surprise me when the present UPA government did not table the bill in the ongoing session. Alas! I would like to call it as opportunity which Ms. Sonia Gandhi lost, they(UPA) had done fairly good job all these years and they should have landed a knock out punch by getting this bill passed.
How would they be able to get this bill passed, when the fiercest opponent of this bill Mr. Lalu Prasad Yadav, is their most important partner.

This bill was first tabled in parliament Mr. Devegouda was PM, i.e., almost 12 years and that this bill has not yet seen the light of the day, it is still languishing, God knows where.

I think Messrs Sonia Gandhi, Sushma Swaraj, Sheila Dikshit, Brinda Karat, Mayawati, Mamta Banerjee, Jayalalita, Vasundhara Raje, unite for the cause of womenkind and see to that this bill gets passed, I feel they should also media for this, and create a mass hysteria and bring pressure on the next government (be it the UPA, the NDA or the Third Front or whoever it is).

This bill needs to be passed urgently because women are facing lots of trouble these days, it has become very unsafe for them to move about in our cities.

And we all know the behavior of the male members of Parliament in the house, it is nothing short of outrageous to our consititution and also to our forefathers who gave us this wonderful gift called democracy, which we are not able to use to the benefit of us, I just hope that the more women in our Parliaments and Legislatures, the more sanity in India and the chances of India becoming a true superpower in the truest sense of the word.

Indian women.

I was in a hotel this Sunday morning having my breakfast. Two couples walked into the hotel, they seemed to be on the way to attend a marriage because both the ladies were dressed in silk saree, wearing jewellery, it looked like they had taken great trouble in getting themselves ready for the occasion or they might have been to a nearby beauty parlour, whatever it is they were looking absoultely beautiful.

I just hope that mere nazar nahi lagi hain!!!

In contrast their husbands were just so out of sorts.

Hats off to Indian women.
