Reservations for Women: In Parliament, Judiciary, Corporates and Government Jobs

June 15, 2009
Sumanth

In recent times, there has been a lot of noise over the issue of reservation of women's seats in Parliament. Some existing male parliament members even went to the extent of threatening suicide in Parliament, if the women's reservation bill is passed. The male parliament members are sure that many of them will lose their seats and become politically irrelevant, if the women's reservation bill is passed. Some smaller parties consider it as a conspiracy to finish up smaller regional political parties.

What do men's rights activists think about women's reservations in parliament? From their perspective, they have no trust in any woman parliamentarian. For them, if some fifty women in parliament can bulldoze an extremely biased and badly drafted domestic violence law into being enacted into law, then 200 women in parliament will lead to many more biased laws and serious discrimination of men, which can result in a complete gender war. Such a conflict will not only harm men, but also harm women, children and entire the society.

In spite of Supreme Court warning about Legal terrorism due to dowry law misuse, the so called democratic parliament has taken no steps to prevent misuse of this law or punish the people, who abuse the process of law. The entire legal system is dysfunctional even as more and more people are encouraged to file divorce. This is not at all the right time to make some serious constitutional changes, which can cripple the democratic process itself. For example, as many as 300 parliamentary constituencies out of 543 will get reserved, if women get 181 seats reserved for women. There are already about 100 seats reserved for scheduled castes and scheduled tribes. In democracy, every citizen must have a choice to stand in an election to get elected to parliament. If 300 seats in parliament are reserved, then this democratic choice to citizens gets denied. The solution to any problem must not get bigger than the problem itself.

At present, women do have a choice to stand in elections and form political parties on their own. In fact, the women candidates have a better success rate than the male candidates. Its a different matter that the Indian political process involves money, muscle and bogus voting, which makes most women stay away from politics. So, the need of the hour is to clean up the political process and unleash political reforms so that everyone, not just rich and powerful, gets a chance to participate in political process.

At present, the whole argument in favour of women's reservation is based on "male dominated patriarchal society" theory. However, is reservation the best way to break this so called "male dominated" society? For example, statistics show that three times more men compared to women die in accidents, suicides and murders. [ED: UNSUBSTANTIATED] The so called dominant gender has comparatively more violent lives as 87% of all crimes committed are against men. The society certainly reserves the dangerous side for life for men in the name of responsibility and commitment. Now, men do have a choice to walk out of this as well, when they are pushed to the wall.

Instead of reserving seats in the parliament for women and disfiguring democracy by denying citizens rights to stand in an election, the Government should in stead start empowering women in different domains of the society. After all, according to World Economic Forum Gender Gap Index, India has a rank of 24 in Political Empowerment of women, which is way ahead of countries like Spain or Italy. This rank will improve further and can cross United States (at 19) this year, as we have a female speaker and more female parliament members. So, it is necessary to balance other areas, where women are lagging behind due to discrimination. For example,

1. The Government can seriously consider reserving 50% of the positions for women in higher judiciary, ie High Courts and Supreme Court. There were only 3 women judges ever in Supreme Court in last 63 years of Independent India.

2. This can be followed by reservation of 50% of seats in bureaucracy, ie IAS, IPS, IFS positions.

3. The Government can also pass a law to reserve 50% of seats in board or senior management for women in Corporates.

4. Diversity can also be enforced by reserving 33% of all Government and Private sector Jobs for women. After all, many American MNC companies in Bangalore already reserve 33% of positions for women.

It is easy to criticize the men in parliament of being selfish and they denying women of appropriate representation. But, what about men is judiciary, bureaucracy, Government and private sector jobs? Its important for men in Government jobs and corporates to "walk to talk" and allow at least 33% positions and promotions for women.

Instead of making women complain about discrimination in a so called male dominated society for next 10 years, its better to give them their share in all these jobs in Government and Private sector.

In the meanwhile, the Government must start electoral reforms, so that people other than rich and powerful can contest elections and win. The Government has to modify all laws, which consider men guilty till proven innocent, before attempting to bring any bill on women's reservations in the parliament.

33% reservation is tantamount to saying 60% of women in parliament. Simple sense means that women will still contest from the unreserved constituency that gets rotated and in the name of nurturing constituency has to be given to a former women MP.

[EDITED - BLATHERING]

why just parliament, also include private, defence, public, judiciary for 50% reservation.

To substantiate, I present NCRB data for year 2007:

Murder Statistics

Suicide Statistics

Accident Statistics

Murder:
Males-25322 Females-8106 Total-33428

Suicides:
Males-79295 Females-43342 Total-122637

Accidents:
Males-2,62,752 Females-78,041 Total-340,794

===========
Total deaths of males and females due to accidents, suicides and murders:

Males: 3,67,369 Females: 129,489
===========

2.84 times more men compared to women die due to accidents, murders and suicides every year. So, society reserves dangerous side of life for the dominant gender. It is great, if women want to take it over from men.

You cannot escape from your hypocrisy.. why 33%.. why not 50%? the politically correct males have no right to sit in parliament and make irresponsible statements.

The reason the stats of murder are so high for men is because amongst themselves they indulge in violence.

And fuck these foolish, who talks about male dominant world or women needs more power,
God made this earth and this system as Men are more stronger and can do hard work they will go out and earn run the society and as Women are soft and more sentimental they will stay at home take care of family, give life to whole family and run the society in this way.
But in the name of women power this fucking Girija Vyas and Renuka Chowdhary kind of women are such a spit on the face of out Indian society.
We should not allow any kind of reservation for anyone.

Why there were only 3 female judges in Supreme Court in last 63 years?

Who is sidelining women in Supreme Courts and high courts all these years? Why politicians are not doing anything about it?

Is there a dearth of good and talented women lawyers in this country?

There should also be reservation for young judges in judiciary. Let 30% of judges be below 40 years of age in all courts.

When Agatha Sangma can be a Union Minister at the age of 28, why can not a 38 year old be a judge in a family court?

In corporates, the men occupy more positions than women. So, only lay off of men has to be allowed by law. For lay off of women, the Company must be made to take special permission from State Government.

Why to surprise now??? We are continously saying to stop such think to SC, but they always said, they can't interfare in law and policey of parlament , let the same is against injustice against lacks of common people.
There is a wrod , when your next home is burning and if you do not wake up , it your turn your home will be under FIRE. The same think happeneing. One hand you want to promote the reservations in the name of caste, religion, women in corporate, instituion, where all ready women have equll representaion and think parlament and Judicery should be kept aside, very intersting.
Inspite of artilce 14 and article 20 and 21, our politician misused the artilce 15 several time in the name of special provision to women and weeker sex , but Supreme court silently observed the same and this leads to encourage more and more greed for politician for thier vote bank politics.
Yes, you can give any speicl porvision to weeker section, but that does not mean injustice to other sections, that is indian consituion.
Either we had been fool and idiot , that we can't understand waht is writtne in indian constituion or too smart to justify others home burning , with a thinking my home will not be under fire.
When in a country if Judicery is silent against injustice to common people and politicain have whole sale free lincece to misue the provision provied for thier vested interest, only god can save them.
Now the question, will SC wake up or still prefer to enjoy the misuse of Indian constution article 15 in the name of vested interest and promote the dishormeny among the people in the name of sex( men vs women) , caste ( low vs high), religions....
I am not so big guy , but read the constituion and understand in 30 days, our politician misusing the contian constituion for thier bested interest, but unable to understand , why the same our SC judges can't??
May be my blood color is different than them or i can't write good english, as i am not a English fathers son.
If USA or other country procressed , that is because thier judicery and never allowed the politican to take over the country's common people's interst as granted.
Stop misuse of Indian Constituion article 15 for vote bank politics , if not be ready to pay the price.
Article 141 Law declared by Supreme Court to be binding on all courts
The law declared by the Supreme Court shall be binding on all courts within the territory of India.

Article 14 Equality before law
The State shall not deny to any person equality before the law or the equal protection of the laws within the territory of India.

Article 15 Prohibition of discrimination on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex or place of birth
(1) The State shall not discriminate against any citizen on grounds only of religion, race, caste, sex, place of birth or any of them.
(2) No citizen shall, on ground only of religion, race, caste, sex, place of birth or any of them, be subject to any disability, liability, restriction or condition with regard to -
(a) access to shops, public restaurants, hotels and places of public entertainment; or
(b) the use of wells, tanks, bathing ghats, roads and places of public resort maintained whole or partly out of State funds or dedicated to the use of general public.
(3) Nothing in this article shall prevent the State from making any special provision for women and children.
(4) Nothing in this article or in clause (2) or article 29 shall prevent the State from making any special provision for the advancement of any socially and educationally backward classes of citizens or for the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes.
Article 21 Protection of life and personal liberty
No person shall be deprived of his life or personal liberty except according to procedure established by law.

I know the 498a wife you are referred to. That female's 498a FIR itself got quashed by high court and she was termed "ill-educated woman" by high court.

Now, she is making phone calls to her husband frantically hoping that he may take her back as her body's market value has crashed. He tells her,"what ever you have to say, please tell to my lawyer".

498a wives!! Ha!! Haa!!

The female who implicated a TOP CEO of a Software company in Bangalore for not sacking her husband now touches her husband's feet hoping he will take her back.

I loved the day, I myself told one after 498a,"Oh...did I promise you to take you back? Wow!! If I promised, then I lied. Now, get lost."

Now, 498a wife is told by court to pay maintenance her highly educated post-Doctoral husband for his loss of job in US.

The day is not far, when the men will take law into their hands in front of police and thrash these criminals and then get arrested.

Had it been an arab country, these bitches would have been stoned in the city center. The day is not far when such female criminals and their parents will sit in jails for months.

Who gives a damn about 498a? There are absolutely no arrests now in all big cities. In stead, men are filing dowry cases against wives, who claimed that they have given dowry as it is illegal to give dowry.

I went to Vizag and within 12 days, the police stopped arresting anyone in 498a. It is the feminists implicated in false 498as, who lined up to seek my help and advice.

Today our members have Second Degrees in law and some even got Gold Medals in famous law schools. The courts are strictly executing the child custody/visitation orders in big cities.

Power of SIF: Men are implicating women for giving dowry and this is just the beginning as reverse dowry, extortion, threats, perjury and defamation cases file up against women.

Virag has filed cases against his wife Viral Goda and his in-laws saying they had paid him dowry. Virag separated from his wife within two months of their marriage. Viral and her parents filed a complaint in the Mahadevapura police station saying they had paid Virag Rs 12 lakh as dowry.

Not to take it lying down, he too filed a complaint against them. “My wife says I have received dowry, which is illegal. But it’s equally illegal to give dowry. So I have filed a case against her,” he said.

“I have not taken any dowry, but they have filed a false case against me. I am shocked at the steps taken by my wife. I read law books and filed the case. This is my answer to my wife who has filed false cases against me,” Virag said.

But no video of her touching the feet of her husband?? Show proof of your claim.
You expect readers to believe your lies when you hide behind a fake name yourself!!

And again technically get your legal stuff right...there cannot be a 498a wife but a 498a husband, his bitch of a mother and his bastard father.

I remember one such bastard from SIF touching my feet and promising me that he will never demand any money from his wife. Pleading me to sponsor his ass so that he could he go scot free.

Sam,

"The law is highly under-used..."

There are 75,128 cases of 498a in 2007. So, use it and make it 7,50,000 cases in a year.

Why are you pissed off?

We will be happy to see 10 fold increase in 498a cases and a 100 fold increase in DV cases.

The law on sexual harassment is non-existent. Let that come and let there be 10,00,000 cases in a year. I will be happy to see more and more non-SIF guys get 498a, DV, harassment at workplaces cases.


"Please realize the state of many such women in villages still being harassed for dowry"

Then, the Govt is responsible for that. Why the Govt is not advertising ant-dowry law in TV and in stead advertising DV law?

See, I have no sympathy for any woman. I do not sympathize with any victim, male or female.

Regarding Dowry case on wife filed by Husband, it is directed by a competent court to police to register FIR.

Wife's declaration in affidavit that she gave dowry, is a criminal act. If she is admitting in committing a crime (of giving dowry), law will deal with her.

Whether the husband has taken dowry or not, that law will deal separately in a separate trial.

If there are delays in court, then catch the balls of Congress parliament members, who are sitting on judicial reforms for last 6 years.

Did you or your family claim to give dowry? If yes, then watch your ass.

Sam,

"I truly feel sorry for such women because I know the trauma a family can endure."

When a woman's marriage breaks due to her demanding attitude or abusive behaviour, her patriarchal parents and brothers think that she has become a second hand item.

The second hand item becomes a burden on them, hence they face the trauma and seek revenge.

If the marriage is not working, the woman can leave. Where the hell the question about trauma?

If someone is demanding dowry, then leave and file a dowry case. Where the hell the question about the trauma unless one is worried about losing virginity and being second hand item with reduced market value.

Trauma and victim-hood are creations of human mind only.

You are talking about injustice to women. So, support me for implementation of 50% reservation in judiciary, bureaucracy, Govt and private jobs.

That will give justice and security to so called female victims in villages.

Come on. We are so considerate to women and you are blaming us.

Congress party will empower people through different quotas and reservations. Initially, it will deny there there can be any reservation in corporate. But, Meira Kumar, our great woman speaker in Lok Sabha herself was pushing for reservation for SC/STs/OBCs in Private sector jobs.

So, its better to start affirmative action through reservations for SC/ST/OBC, Women, minorities in private sector as well now itself without indulging in debates and discussions on this for next 10 years and blaming the majority or the patriarchy for all that.

The Congress manifesto already talks about "greater representation for women" in Govt jobs.

NEW DELHI: Making a pitch for increased "affirmative action" from the corporate sector in terms of providing jobs to minorities, the government on Monday said it has sought details from industry over their representation in employment.

"We are talking about affirmative action here... engaging (the industry) through dialogue," Khurshid said while making his assertion on increased representation for minorities.

It is better to screw the country now itself completely, so that rebuilding can start in a year or two. Its dangerous, if they screw the country and people slowly for next 20 years and use these issues to garner votes.

Good Aaman,

Ban anyone who makes personal attacks. Ban me, if I do personal attacks.

Its a big business (even big NGO business) related to men's rights or women's rights. A lot of money can be collected from hapless victims or sympathisers. This can go into billions of rupees. As money collection is completely stopped by one big brand NGO, other NGOs are feeling the pinch and hence frustration is vented out on me.
