041023 Women's Reservation Bill Vs The Negative Points

 The Negative Aspects Of Women's Reservation Bill

     The Women's Reservation Bill has come into effect in a hasty move and with almost unanimous acceptance to maybe mark the 'shubhaarambh' (Holy Good Start) of the new Sansad Bhawan (Parliament House). Maybe all Parliamentarians of the Lok Sabha as well as the Rajya Sabha as well as the President were given clear instructions to approve the formation of the Bill. So, to mark the first issue to be discussed on the floor of the new parliament, 'The Women's Reservation Bill' was picked up and discussed over for long hours and eventually passed almost unanimously in the Lower House and unanimously in the upper house. It eventually got a quick approval from 'Her Majesty The President' as well.

        But this all itself becomes a hoax for the common man and the first sign of inauspicious occurrences in the new Parliament Building. Till now, it was the Police and the Lawyers who were blamed to be corrupt and the cause of unlawful proceedings but now, is it the turn of the Parliament House itself to create hoaxes and befool the common man. Will the common men who were taking cover under the clout of their leaders lose their ultimate voice in the Parliament as well? If I have to believe in auspicious beginnings, then sadly I have to say that the new Parliament House has begun an occurrence of hoax right from it's start.

        The next negative aspect is the inculcation of mentality of fierce competition among the women. Today's Indian Society has changed drastically from the care-taking household women to feud creating or feud opting women because of this changed mentality among them. Every often, women are ready to retort and confront, whether it be anybody's fault. This means that when the members of household meet, with each one having strained nerves from his/her day-to-day chores, house is the place where they release their burst (because they feel so homely and safe here) and eventually cause strained relations right in their homely environment and each person starts breaking away from it. These also invigorate senses of competition, unfair and then cut-throat competition and negative occurrences of jealously. Who had wondered that the woman of the household can herself indulge in food adulteration and poisoning of other members of her own household? But today's world sees all this even in traditional households just to put their women on top of them and get into their contacts as their best and faithful friends. This occurrence used to be the Male Domain, but not anymore. Needless to say that these best and faithful friends develop into large groups and become the leading faces in the Society. Such ethical and unethical groups are a part of the social development and a good society flourishes on ethical groups. Till now, unethical men's groups were tolerated and the household was kept intact, but with women venturing out, the household is broken up and broken houses don't make a strong nation.

        Indian Society has never neglected the women in their value towards a strong household and an endeavoring progressive society but usually the lead is taken by the men of the household and their women take on the supportive role, but with a forced reservation, the men are forcibly kept out and the women are forcibly prompted to come forward and compete, which means people of lesser ability from a household taking a seat in the issues concerning society and thus detrimental to the society. Add to it the ill effects of the paragraph 2 above and they would be 'cooking up a recipe of Bomb-Astras in the Parliament itself to destroy the country' (a little sarcastic way of saying a detrimental move or less competitive choice for a Parliament). And while saying this, I make hundred percent exception for all those women who performed exceptionally well to take the lead, while their men were down or burdened with other fronts, and earned glory for themselves, the country as well as the women's community. Reservation is detrimental everywhere and it should not hamper the country's (or the society's) progress in any way. Reservation is provided as a support of uplifting our fellow people and Indian society has always kept themselves up with such deeds and our children's tales are full of such deeds. It's just that the invaders and foreign Rules restricted and disabled them in their social living.

        The last and the most detrimental aspect is that women can be victimized so easily. And if they become a victim or if they fail, they can be doubly victimized at home as well. This is more so easy with the shy obedient respectful and polite Indian women. Indian women are not inculcated to be of that type who would take charge of her situation and take care of herself as well as her household (or her country). Most of them come out with the support of some mentor or caretaker, usually a man or a man at the top. What would these women do? They will follow the lead. Does this mean that the Party leaders will get faithful 'Followers' as voters and supporters in the party meetings and Parliament too instead of 'hard to convince, share broking and threat to chair' associates? This could also start an unethical political game of chair where the chairperson may block his threatening associates by assigning their seat as women's reserved seat! Similarly, women associates can be easily failed by challenging them to take on a responsibility and, ethically or shrewdly unethically making them a victim of failure. So there are innumerous ways of unethically victimizing the women or ethically subduing the weaker sex and envisage an unopposed Rule i.e. tyranny (in the garb of democracy!?)

            India has witnessed the unethical politics and operations during the last 100 years since the world war I and more so during the last 60 years and exponentially aggravated during the last 40-45 years, it's still a matter of resolving all those deeds, when women were very easily befooled and victimized, my mind becomes averse to such moves in the Parliament and finally only one question comes up - "Who is actually ruling India from back-office?"   IPYadav
