Hi friends.

Few minority communities may not utilize this opportunity, as most of the women in these communities are less capable of utilizing this opportunity. This may lead to a sense of perceived negligence among them.

The Bill was adopted by the Rajya Sabha in 2010. The distance between the Rajya Sabha and the Lok Sabha is just a five-minute walk. But the Bill has not moved for seven years. The Women's Reservation Bill is a victim of patriarchal power to ensure the status quo of male entitlement.

Reservation, Quota are words which explicitly imply to discriminate on the ground of unequalness. To discriminate is against our basic human and fundamental rights and to consider women unequal is against the very spirit of this bill. Empowerment, in no ways, should be given to the undeserving candidate.

So this bill, in my view, is not helpful for women empowerment. Along with this shortcoming, this bill also induces polarity in society, national loss in the form of capable resources left out and benefits to one political party over the other on immoral grounds. This bill introduces another never-ending quota of inequality.

Women don't need the power to be donated to them. Let them take their fair share of power by themselves on the equal benchmark. Give them support to reach their goals. Free girl child education, free college education, Acts to ensure action on cases atrocities against women and elements who try to hinder the process, awareness to girls/women on their rights are some of the actions that are needed to be implemented at grassroots levels.

Leave aside the bill, because the people who are preaching for the bill today have mostly never allowed the women in their family a fair share of EMPOWERMENT.

A quota is a discriminating word, isn't it? yes women quota will be beneficial for women empowerment as they will also participate in this society, but in present age campaigns are going like women are equal to men, then it is not needed to implementing all areas.

I think it can be implemented in some areas like gram sabhas, vidhan shabhas, where a lady leader can lead this country but bill is implementing in education, the job then it will like a reservation which I think a negative, more knowledgeable more skilled men will not get admision in good universities and a good job.

Hi, this is Samyuktha.

Thanks for giving a chance to me. So in my point of view, that every girl student should study they should have the same equalities as male.

In olden days, due to the unawareness among the people, they did not study the girl student.

The government should also provide reservation facilities for the girl student.

So I conclude that women should develop more and more and provide facilities for women.

In my point of view, reservation is not a solution to empowered women.

Central and state government Should take some action like.

Equal opportunities in every field, create a safe and enabling work environment for women.

And awareness among rural women's this type of thing happens then there is no need of reservation.

Hi friends.

In my point of view, every girl should study and educate their life and come forward in the society with the same as like male.

They should also want reservations in the government fields.

Urban women needs education in our society.

Rural women needs education in our society and awareness about the society.

Every girl should need reservation about 33% now a days for todays women.

So my request that every girl should need education and come in the society like male.

So, there will be requirement for women quota.

In my point of view there is no need that necessity of woman quota bill for women empowerment.

1). Women is also a human being they take breathe also the boys. And they have also right to do as they want in their life.

2). If they have better education & knowledge so they can do well in their life. So I want to say t hose parents who do not send their girls to school.

3). When they are well educated so they don't have need of reservation because they have understanding to overcome with The problems.

4). Now these time no.of rape case and eve teasing case increase with a very high rate so if we all want to uproot these types of problem so firstly we have to corporate by ourselves to the other people.

At the conclusion I want say that girls don't have need of any kind of reservation indifferent -2 fields. But provide good education to them as well as boys in rural areas also.

Hello, friends,

Women Quota bill will reserve 33% of seats in parliament and state legislatures. This bill will provide a chance for women to get a higher post in the society and make them feel free but this alone cannot help women empowerment. There is a saying that "women power does not require freedom, but freedom and channelization". Therefore women certain actions to be taken to educate them, protect their dignity.

I think that there is a necessity to pass Women Quota Bill for Women Empowerment-

This Women Quota bill or the constitution (108th amendment) bill, proposes to reserve 33% of seats in the Lok Sabha as well as state legislative assemblies for women.

The critics of this bill oppose it, mainly because-.

1. Equality- They believe that if this bill will be passed then, it would be fair for the male candidates, and it does tamper the notion equality in the society. But, is equality still practised today?

The answer is 'NO', and that's the reason of so many female foeticides, sexual assaults and discrimination of a girl child over a boy child in India. So, if equality is not thought over there, why equality is being pondered over here?

2. Growth- They say that it would dampen the growth of the nation and will affect it adversely. I don't think so, on the contrary, it will enhance women safety in the society. There are so many male politicians who have a criminal background or are rapist and sexual assaulters, how can we expect them to take fair decisions on behalf of a woman? Only a women can take decision which would benefit the women community.

3. Experience- There is already a reservation of 33.33% of seats in panchayat elections for women. The experience of women's reservation at the panchayat level is very encouraging and I do think that it would prove the same at the big level as well.

Thanks a lot!

Hello, guys.

The numerical quota system cannot bring the good we are trying to bring in the society rather it creates turbulence and give rise to terms like reverse discrimination, preference based system is more justifiable because it will not lock the numbers and at the same time it will reduce the disparity any institution have and will leverage the diversity (take gender here) , like if there is sheer lack of female population in any field, a preference will be given but quality and talent will always be a parameter and on the other hand preferences will be given to the needy (I mean to exempt the big public figures, or politicians family tree) this system will not let the people exploit this policy who are already empowered or the people who create a dummy representation in shadow of quota.

I strongly oppose on giving quota for women instead I want that political system should be opened to all if any person whether male or female has strong leadership quality he must be allowed to enter into the politics but the condition is that he/she may not involve themselves in corruption and try to fulfill the purpose for which the are appointed.

As in today's world, ever one is equal whether male or female so equal preference should both. Also before appointing them one should check their action in past.

Hi friends,

To me having women's quota in politics is a great idea to empower women in India but do we really think by having this bill passed alone women will really be empowered in Indian society? Off course NOT.

In order to irradicate this issue from India society, we need to work at class-hood level. We need to give girl's education more priority as it will make them independent and then they will not need such reservation.

Hi, I am Sudhakar, I am going to speak in favour the topic.

Yes, we require a quota bill for women empowerment,

Especially in India, women are still struggling to get basic rights in India. They are getting humiliated in many ways. There are many woman quotas already exist in India, still women are not getting equality in the society. There is the necessity to implement an effective women quota bill to give them equality and for their serviceability.

Women are working equality to men, still we are underestimating them, women are not getting jobs everywhere as men, just because they are women. In poor families, most of the girls not getting the basic education system, government to should come forward to implement a strong quota for women to give them equality and make them educated.

Epshita said: (Jun 3, 2016)  
We all are talking about the women reservation bill which is likely to give 33% reservation to women in Lok sabha. In my opinion, there should be reservation for women but first at the education level. No doubt in recent years, we have seen much betterment in women's condition but still we cannot say that we have reached the equality level and whosoever is saying this should go to villages and backward areas and see the condition of women.

And we should remember that originally in the constitution the reservation was mentioned for women. But the various amendments in constitution changed its face.

But I am against at giving reservation in politics. Even if women get the reservation at that level, it would be difficult for an ordinary woman with no political background to reach there. There would be a situation that instead of existing male politicians their wife and daughters will be holding the position.

There will be no change for ordinary women who are really suffering.

Hi, my dear friends.

Myself Sooraj Singh.

All my friends gave their view on the necessity of women quota bill.

I like their view on this topic but I have different Point of view about it.

First of all, we need to know about reservation it means giving authorities those people who are not capable reaching at a higher level without by means.

If we give reservation to women it means they are not capable of doing this but we can see women in every field what they are doing. We need to think why women are not reaching there because.

1 - Security problem for women.

2 - Some people think women can not do this.

3 - Women have lower literacy rate than men (67% for women and 87% for men).

So these problems cause not participating women in parliament.

We can understand what is the need. Providing reservation is not the solution for women empowerment. We need to women aware through giving for free education especially backward. Then we can see women as the national leader.

But we are to give reservation give such fields like which indicate less capacity like air jet flying, combat jet flying as well as etc.

Thanks to all my unknown friends.

Hello friends,

Thank you to me opportunity writes my answer there, In opinion there should be some kind help we have to women either by quota or other ways because they remain within the boundary for a long time.

So, We provide them platform security and assure them that you come forward we all are standing with you. This kind of approach would be very effective bring them break restriction and force that have been bearing from early life. In our society there are lots of discrimination, therefore, we have to remove it. We all know that all half part of our human resource idle in 21 century apart from several schemes. We should have to provide some privileges women so that try to understand what they have right. Education will be a great weapon to make a better life for women this only area where we have to give more attention.

To provide quota is not sufficient for making aware and empowering the women.

Hello everyone,

Now a days girls are equal to the boys. Girls are actively participating in all events than boys. In olden days they were restricted to all events that are in studies, politics etc. They restricted to kitchen only.

In these days they are performing better results in studies and politics. To encourage the women we should give reservation for them. So that they will participate actively instead of permitting to home and one thing that is considerable nowadays is born of girl babies.

People are thinking that a girl baby is burden for family. This is mostly happening in villages. To avoid this there is a reservation for women. So that we can improve the born rate of girl babies.

I don't think there should be a separate quota bill for women. I will reiterate a point already made PREVIOUSLY. Gender equality does not mean preferential treatment of women.

Reservation is very necessary for women because in Indian tradition women are not treated equally especially in Bihar and Haryana if by reservation women come into the power then they can defiantly change the situation by helping women who are getting exploited by the men because most of the time it was seen man do not treat women equally when they go to administration for their complaint so when women will be in the power they can understand the problem of women in a better way as compared to men.

1. I want to add some points in this regards, I support this bill to pass for the current scenario of taking a forward step to encourage to take part in make India better and better.

2. It is required due to the wrong mindset of people who think men are better than women.

3. On the other hand, it creates some uneasy and inequality things between genders, as our Constitution said that both are equal in every aspect.

4. This uneasy thin can be solved only by education at root level for all. Approve some bills and change the mindset of a new generation.

Well I reckoned that no reservation should be given to Women as they are totally equal to Men in each and every field. By giving reservation it shows that women are not up to the level of Men and reservation is helping them to make them up to that level. In today's era Women proved themselves in every field and there are many legendary examples of that such as Kalpana Chawla, Indira Noory, Neerja Bhanot etc.

Now a days what women require is safety from the society. This is how the constitution can help the women.

It shows the universe is formed from women and men. Men always try to dominate women. Is it a good practice? In my opinion, no women have equal right as men. But our mentality has changed and in most of the field, women are not coming forward thinking they can't dominate men. This bill will give women an opportunity to come forward and take the challenge.

No reservation can ever help any section of the society to gain empowerment. Status of backward classes still is the example of this policy. Even after 67 years of adopting the Constitution, they are still backward classes in fact now more politics is played on their account. If you actually want to empower any section, basic ground work os required. The inclusion of and improvement in the mindset of men (particularly) is also needed. Intellectually and emotionally both genders are very similar. Care, love, empathy, nourishing nature, sensitivity, patience, resilience is there in men as well. They are just never required to explore this side of themselves as many women are asked and made to feel obligated to possess such qualities. At the time of birth, boys and girls are completely similar. Giving them similar values is necessary to develop a society where security and equality prevails.

What I think is that yes, we should treat both the gender equality, there shouldn't any quota for girls and even for boys. We all have the same capability to achieve what we want in our life if we are having good education for that.

But we have to take it under consideration that in our country, many poor people are there who are having daughter and they are not capable to educate them, but it might be same for a boy whose parents are not financially strong to make him educated.

Poverty doesn't look at gender.

For the welfare of our society, if our government is capable to provide some kind of reservation, then this reservation should be given to the poor families of our country.

And reservation is also not given according to the religion, if such a citizen is capable to earn his bread and butter, then there is no need to give him reservation. Same as for women.

And also I want to add one point that a girl must be educated because when she is going to have a baby, she is only the person in the world who he's responsible for his/her thinking, and it is needed for our society to have well educated mind for your future.

Hi everyone,

So, today we are talking about bill for women empowerment. Saying that passing this bill only proves that women in this country are really weaker we cannot neglect this fact that since, the childhood women in our country are not treated same as our men.

Like in most of our middle class families parent's like to send their boy's in a better school then women because they find them as their sticks when they got older. I think dowry system is also a one reason, why people in our country don't want a women to be born on their houses.

Love marriages are seen like a sin in our country, so, in order to prevent this sin parent's don't like to send their daughters for higher studies (this point may look's silly to many participant's but it's true and I myself seen this in my own family).

Karva choth, Monday fast's for getting husband's etc. Are some of the rituals which makes men one step higher than women or you can say women herself makes their husband's more important (intentionally or intentionally (through these rituals) ).

Well, from the above point's it has been proved that women are not weaker by birth but they are made weaker when they went through their life cycle. So, reservation is a right step to give more power to the women so that they can make their coming generation more confident and give their 50% share in the society.

In my opinion quota should be present for women why? Because undoubtedly women today are able to excel in almost all fields of life. Then whether it be banking sector, science or sports, but these are rare cases. Women has the capability bit still the mindset of the society has not changed much.

Still certain elements in the country are pushing the women backwards. To change this mindset it is important that women be given the reservations so that they can get a platform and chance to actually prove themselves.

In my opinion reservation for women would only prove that they are weak.

We observe that in every educational institution girls equally compete with the boys and many a time they are better.

Moreover, the reservation some times might do injustice to those men who would actually work better for that position.

What we must concentrate doing is proving education to those in rural areas. If the education to both the genders is equally given, I am sure that there would be equal number of men and women working in the society.

Hello friends,

Realizing the gravity of the situation the answer to the Q whether women reservation should be applied or not? The answer is a big "YES" And the reason are very crystal clear. We want to see India as a superpower we need to first fill the gape of minds that women can not do what a man can.

So along with the reservation the women should be made aware and should be push-up in education, so they can get aware and become strong enough to govern. In reality we know that it takes a long time to fill this deep discriminate gap in this society.

Hi, I think reservation for the girls is not necessary. Because in olden days we saw women are able do their job very sincerely we have example: LAXMI BAI, RAJIYA SULTAN, CHAND BB. But only the problem is that no stood up in their favor.

Only problem is mentality of our society and their thinks. Even in olden days even women are do want to support woman capability, they always go through their patriarch. Its the problem that's why woman not able to prove what is really they have. To upgrade their position in society this RESERVATION SYSTEM is takes place.

But now the scenario is getting now the women are stand-up in their feed and their circumferences getting change. They challenge men in every field because they know what they.

But RESERVATION FOR WOMEN it must required in rural area because after study in rural area people don't want allow their girl child to move metro city's. So at that that time it must require that by RESERVATION SYSTEM they get quality job in their native places.

Good morning everyone,

The topic given for us is regarding necessary of women quota for women empowerment.

According to my point of view I definitely feel that there should be a quota specially for women reservation women has to be encouraged in many situations she is suppressed by the men in most of the field if she is given a chance she can implement the polices regarding women much better than men she can understand the problems of women and she can implement accordingly if we see the present scenario even after the enactment of nirbhaya act the cases on women is still increasing and it has to be stopped immediately if we take the example of IPS officer swathi lakra she has implemented she teams and different apps for safety and security of women as its now that men can't play this role but if it managed by women it would be much better so to give opportunity for women quota bill is necessary for the development of women.

According to me reservation system is beneficial in some of the aspects whereas on the other way round it is not so important because all those people who really need these kinds of systems are actually deprived of it. They are not fully accessible to these kinds of system. In urban areas where the situation is much more better than villages there the people are making use of it for example.

In many DU colleges 2 to 4 % cut off has been left for girls. Though their is no as such need to do so because these girls are educated enough to stand for their own selves and fight for their right. Instead of reservation laws for the security and safety of women should be implemented. This itself will only bring a great change in society.

We all know that women and men are equally capable of doing a work. Girls have topped in many exams this it self prove their capabilities. So they don't require a quota for them what they need is equal opportunities.

If they are given equal opportunities they will automatically grab their worth reasons why they are not getting equal opportunities are.

1) Narrow minded society: Some people think that females are only made for doing household work. So even though government Is providing scholarship for education of women then also they are allowing their girl child to get education.

Instead of focusing on quota we should focus on launching awareness programme promote education for all. Women should also know their rights and shouldn't allow any one exploit them.

Hi friends the topic women quota bill in women empowerment. It sense good thing. I support women quota bill. Because of in India there is a minority of women, as a serve of 2013 the ratio between men and women is 1000 : 950. It means only for 1000 boys there will available only 950 girls who get involved in future partner. However many people think women is only for the domestic type of work in which they can survive as a house wife. So they want to join jobs.

But they are not able to join just because of family requirement. So we have to change our thought against women. Because they can do any type of work. There is no difference between men and women. Just looked out the tenis player Sania Mirza. She got many gold meddles just because of her hard work and from fully family support. So there are so many example who always say the value of women.

So far in the political and social history of India quotas have not proved to be of much help. Take quota or reservation system, it was added in the constitution with a very noble idea to elate the position of the backward classes but right now only affluent people are getting benefited by them in a way that if a person don't have money to buy the form on the first place then how could he get benefited from the reservation anyways!

And women in our society need not have any quotas. When we are talking of equality then it should be for all. We have to change our approach i.e. in our system what's being done to create balance in an unbalanced situation is by creating imbalance somewhere else and then hoping that it would create "overall balance" in the long run.

Today giving quota to women would lead to state of unrest among men and it will put a question on quality selection of men and women. Empowerment can be done apart from the quota method as follows :

1. Women themselves should be aware of the rights. (human rights- the most fundamental thing).

2. They should be educated.

3. Overall society should be educated.

4. They should realize they need not take quota when the top most exam of the country is topped by 4 girls in a row!

As per my view's yes it is important to provide the reservation to woman. However, this should be applied in rural area's where the position of woman's is very low. In compare to the city, the rural aria is very far from the originality. The girl's are not educated or the people don't send there girls to school although there are many reason behind it but the rural area's really need the reservation kind help. In the developed city the woman are doing good and they have jobs too.

The woman empowerment means to provide the facility or equality to woman which is already have male like freedoms so that they can evolve in India's growth but not given the power through which they can destroy the society. We have seen a lot of cases where woman are using there right's in wrong way's. So we should not take fast decision to provide the power woman.

According to me, reservation for women is unnecessary. Because reservation meant for weak people like discriminated people and physically challenged (handicapped, blind). Many people who are talented &skilled will work hard to achieve their goals& aspirations. But because of this reservations they will be frustrated, disseminated of their unsatisfied goals.

In the present world, girls are giving good compact to men in every aspect of the life. They are capable of taking their decisions that they know what is good/bad for them. If govt wants do something for women provide them safety& security that we need to respect them.

Parents worried about their daughter to send out of city for job or education due to lack of security so we need to provide safe environment. They are able to do anything & have strong determination toward their goals.

Hi all,

I strongly agree with our friend Shiv. But, the women's reservation bill is primarily about the 33% reservation for women in the Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha and the Legislative Assemblies, where they have less presence on a relative scale. I think that is logical.

Even after women being at par with men in several platforms, still there is certain discrimination in case of employment, promotions, education, etc in the real world scenario and we all know it. Whether we accept it or not, that is a subjective issue. Still there is girl child killings.

So, according to me no single policy can bring about a great change. The reservation bill along with strict legal actions in case of crimes against women can bring change. But, as for now, as we know, this bill is stalled due to lack of consensus in the Lok Sabha.

Hi friends,

As we know that reservation means they need some help from government. But now a day's girls are equals as men in every field. Even thought some of the field girl is more talented compare to men. So to give the reservation only those people who actually need for this (handicap widow, old and poor person). Girl's are not capable for the reservation.

There are so many policies running in country for women (security phone number, Kanya Vidya Dhan etc) , which can make women more capable in compere to men. As we know that at this time Dubai have have given the permission to vote, even thought today many country not have permit to vote for women. We have to also give chance to women to take's it's own decision.

Hi friends!

In my point of view women empowerment is required in present scenario. Why because many of the women are well educated and they good knowledge comparing to any activity they are doing in society. They no what is good and what is bad. But the com[petition is very high many of the men are getting opportunities in jobs. Of course women also there but the percentage is very low compared to men.

If the government really want to give the reservation for women the opportunity of employment of women may increase that's why the society will develop and the security of women will increase. Many of the husbands are not caring about their wife's. If the job is in the women hand they earn some money and that is useful for their life and family purpose. I accept women empowerment is required. What initiatives government will take for women that gives good result in society.

Simultaneously if Govt want to do some thing for women, it should b security because now a days rape, molestation, eve teasing, work place abasement are very much common in our society and it should be reduced as soon as possible.

Hi everyone,

There are some points above mention are great like one of those women compete men in many fields. I want to add that if go to the root level even in today world some parents don't allow their female child to work far from home because of insecurity, some think they will fall in love and get married, some are like that they totally underestimate a girl to work as an employee. And take this as an reservation for women is like doing pity on them without measure their ability to work.

I think first and foremost task is focus light on the family person like showing how govt is taking crime against women seriously via advertisement, some serials showing showing how a girl can lead to change the environment as women friendly.

One last line I want to add that the insecurity problem is major problem for women empowerment that can be resolved only by when more and more women take a leap step to join the companies without hesitation to change the thinking of male dominant society.

If women wants equality then they should stands against the inequality spread BTW men and women.

If girls and women say they are equally powerful then men's than prove it. Reservation is not the solution of equal rights.

Empowerment means to give official authority to someone. So, I believe that reservation is not a correct way to empower the women of our society because now a days women are competing men equally in each and every field. Giving reservation to women means we are ignoring their talent. Reservation should only for the minorities and women in our are country are not the minorities.

I think that if we have to empower the women of our society than we have to work in the field of safety for them than automatically it will empower the women. And the last thing is that we the people of our country have to give equal opportunities in the field of education as we give to men because women also play a major role on the development of our country.

Hello everyone,

Most of the people here have presented the argument that reservations are for weak people and women, today, are capable enough to get a job based on their skills and talents, and hence no reservation is required.

I respect this opinion but I would like to highlight some major loopholes in this assumption. Firstly, RESERVATIONS ARE NOT FOR WEAK PEOPLE. Reservations are for the groups or communities in our system who have faced discrimination and have been a victim of unfair treatment, and hence a special platform is given to them so that they can merge in the mainstream society.

Secondly, the assumption that situation has changed and women are given equal opportunities. The real scenario is not as beautiful as being painted by most of us. In rural areas, as well as high profile urban areas, women suffer from domestic violence, rapes, partiality, typical patriarchal mentality, honour killings, dowry deaths, female foeticides and what not?

They face discrimination and lack of security at workplace in a lot of ways. Why are male actors paid 5 to 8 times the actresses even for the same role? Therefore reservations should be given to women if their status in society is to be changed.

I am against any kind of quota for women empowerment. If we have this type of way then good and capable person always lost opportunities. Person should be selected for any post by his/her skills and abilities not by any recommendation.

By this women can not recognize her actual ability to do any work she will not do extra effort in this case. I agree sometimes it beneficial for those who are really need this but in this corrupted country only powerful person got reservations and facilities. It does not reach to needed person.

You can take example of other types of quota itself which are not only for women just for caste basis.

One person do hard study and another have reservation then person always got chance which has reservation so there person's moral goes down. Person always think what need to do effort when he never got chance. Person can do effort if he/she has a little bit chance.

Overall thing is if quota is here then provide to really needed person not all who don't need else remove quota system.

In my my point of view, there should be quota for indigent women who belong to 'backward classes. Many people think that 2015 is a male chauvinism free century, but is actually not. Even today, in some regions women are paid less than men for doing the same amount of work. Some places in India have not even progressed since 50 years, they still immure their wives and daughters in homes, not allowing them to step outside the home for work.

These things may be prevented by women quota, providing a platform to the women to march into domains which has been previously dominated by men, putting the sexes on equal footing.

This reservation should not be mistaken for injustice, as it is only been done to put the two genders on equal platform.

I'm totally against of reservation. Because the world "reservation" itself define weakness. Gov should provide reservation only for those people who really deserve it like physically challenge (handicap, blind) etc.

Not for those who are physically as well as mentally strong. Women are capable to take their decision they know what is good /bad for them because now days women's are giving good compact to men in every aspect of life. If govt want to do something really for women provide them security, feeling of safety we need to respect them.

Because most of the parents doesn't allow them to go out of city for higher education because they feel it's not safe there for her. So firstly, we need to change this mentality & this would be possible only when we provide safe environment for them, so that women can get a good platform to prove themselves.
