"14 years long tunnel"

Although tunnels are thousands of years old, but surprisingly one tunnel is 14 years old. This tunnel is the evidence of 60 years old democracy, world’s biggest democracy, i.e., India. I am talking about the 33% reservation at Indian houses viz. upper house and lower house. Women Reservation bill was passed by upper house on March9, 2010, with the support of 186 members. This day it-self become history when Rajya Sabha announced 33% reservation for women. The ordinance was made in 1996 for the first time to see the sight in the distinctive manner. This bill not only important because Rajya Sabha has passed it, but it is also important for the defeat of protester who were against of it. This bill gives the impression of the step taken by government for the welfare of women of the country and showed patriotism.

But if we analyzed the whole talk and gist of the bill, it was clearly seen on March8, 2010, World Women’s Day, that people who were against of it had crossed all limits of humanity, which resulted them to suspend from the session of House. Lalu Prasad Yadav claimed it as dictatorship of the House and the Speaker. But the voices of those 1/4^th protesters were also autocratic, against the ideology of the government and also dictating the voices of 3/4^th of the population of House.

Protesters were demanding reservation for Backward classes and Muslim minority under those 33% reservation bill. But the main thing is that there is no reservation for men of Backward class, so why for women of backward class. The same case is also with Muslim minority and their reservation, i.e., no legitimate reservation to the people on the basis of their religion. So why protest occurred? is illogical for those people who were doing this.

So there is only one light of hope near the tunnel’s mouth and the whole path is still black. Now the above passed bill has to go further to lower house and the same amount of enthusiasm both positive and negative, is still awaited to see in Lok Sabha. After the signature of the President of India, the bill has to pass through political turbulence, so the required commitment is needed thought-out the journey of this bill and its implementation. So the half population has enjoyment on the verge of rest population.
