Read the following passage and
answer the Question Nos. 11 to 15
The constitution guarantees every
citizen the fundamental right to equality. Yet after 50 years of independence,
just one perusal of the female infant mortality figures, the literacy rates and
the employment opportunities for women is sufficient evidence that
discrimination exists. Almost predictably, this gender, bias is evident in our
political system as well. In the 13th Lok Sabha, there were only 43 women MPs
out of total of 543; it is not a surprising figure, for never has women's
representation in Parliament been more than 10 per cent.
Historically, the manifestos of
major political have always encouraged women's participation. It has been
merely a charade. So, women's organizations, denied a place on merit, opted for
the last resort; a reservation of seats for women in parliament and State
Assemblies. Parties, which look at everything with a vote bank in mind, seemed
to endorse this. Alas, this too was a mirage.
But there is another aspect also. At
a time when caste is the trump card, some politicians want the bill to include
further quotas fro women from among minorities and backward castes. There is
more to it. A survey shows that there is a general antipathy towards the bill.
It is actually a classic case of doublespeak: in public, politicians were endorsing
women's reservation but in the backrooms of Parliament, they were busy
sabotaging it. The reasons are clear: Men just don't want to vacate their seats
of power.
