Should Women be Given Reservation in Governance?


5000 years of acknowledged human civilization and only countable eras where women ever ruled. Men have always tried & succeeded in making women their slaves mentally, physically socially and financially . But now when the times are changing and the women society is beginning to realize its true strength, they should be given extra opportunities to come to equal status as men. All these years of slavery & bondage has left such a deep impact on the minds of women , that they practically think it is a crime to be associated in anything associated to policy making or governing to eradicate such  thoughts & to help the women in breaking the shell of society , they should be given special reservations.

The crimes on women in society is steadily increasing. The society knows the criminals but they roam around fearlessly. Do you think it is the inefficiency of policy or security force. No, the simple answer is the pressure & influence of man chauvinist leaders & politians. The situation will no matter what will improve if there are enough lady policymakers & Law builders. What happened to all the Madhumita's, Sarika's who had their cruel fate at the hands of their killers.

We all say that women are given equal opportunities an all aspects. What we are talking about is urban metro India but look at real India, the rural India. The condition there is as primitive as it was generations back. So if we need a overall balanced development, these women should be given equal chances of development.

Just think what a girl is called:
A woman   :: there is a man in it.
A lady         :: there is a lad in it.
A person     :: there is a son in it.
A human    :: there is a man in it.
A female     :: there is a male in it.

When a woman doesn't get a chance to decide her identity , there is no way she gets a chance decides her policies , therefore a special reservation should be made to allow her to make her decisions & policies.
