On this day in 1996: Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda introduced the Constitution (81st A) Bill in Parliament to reserve a third of the seats for women in the Lok Sabha and State Assemblies.

In 1996 (the 11th LS), there were 41 women in the House. Today, in the 17th LS, there are 79
Since then, the guarantee for greater representation of women in politics have featured in many Presidents’ speeches and in election manifestos of national and regional parties.

3 more attempts to provide such a constitutional mandate were made in 1998, 1999 and 2008.
Those opposed to reservation for women argue that universal adult franchise is enough. They hold that reservation would be seen as not competing on merit. Ms. Renuka Ray, speaking in the Constituent Assembly debate, had called it an insult to women’s intelligence and capacity.
