Women reservation. Making it 50%!

Our parliament is struggling to pass a bill which, if passed, will guarantee that 33% of our representatives in the parliament would be women! Dont the women actually deserve 50% of the share? Many of the political parties are dead against providing 'reservation' to the women in parliament! Fate of the women reservation bill seems to be still in balance, though it has been passed by the Rajya Sabha.

It is most critical for the advancement of Indian Democracy that more and more women comes to the domain of politics and public life. India still continue to be a male dominated society. Oppression against women dates back to thousands of years! Women should get their share in all sphere of life, not through any 'reservation' or 'favour', but by right.

We should contemplate an alternative solution to make '50% women representation in parliament' a reality! We should reduce the number of total loksabha constituencies to half of what it is currently (there are 545 seats now) by joining every two adjacent constituencies into one. From each constituency, two members should be elected. One Male and one Female!

If they dont have rice to eat, let them watch Cricket!

"If they dont have rice to eat, why dont they watch cricket" is the new mantra for the people of Kerala! The advice comes from none other than the modern-time Kerala version of the Queen Marie Antoinette, Mr.Taroor! He doesnt understand a bit why people are so wild at him when he 'sweat' it out so much to bring 'cricket business' to kerala! Oh, well... did someone say why dont Taroor do half of what he did to get the fair share of rice for Kerala people? Rice?! that is all for the politicians. Mr.Taroor of course is not one! You may call him a writer, intellectual, diplomat, minister, business man etc etc etc, who should be directly nominated to Rajya Sabha so that he never has to walk under sun begging for votes in his constituency! it is too below his dignity! Leave him alone to do what he is best at. Twittering!
