There have been mixed reactions to the women’s reservation bill, which has been cleared in the Lok Sabha almost three decades after it was first tabled in Parliament. While some have hailed it as a victory for the campaign for more women representation, others have termed it tokenism.
The implementation is unclear, considering that the reservation could only be effective after the delimitation and census exercises, and several opposition leaders say it has only been passed with an eye on the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
