I have been appalled by what they call benignly sexism in USA- Mrs Clinton is openly called a 'bitch', she has been a pain in the ass, a clinton and so on, though she has displayed a lot of courage that gets 18 million votes in spite of media criticism. In reflection, I am forced to think of Communists, Islamists all around, and thugs for their attitude and vision.
So the women reservation may be futuristic, it is safeguard against the future.
But a proud society has no basis for this idiotic idea of women reservation.
Madhu Kiswar mentions part of the problem in http://www.socialcause.org/getarticlefromdb.php?id=2061.
The other part is it is about equality - Where women would aspire to catch up with men, and be like men - for most progressive women, it means getting another source of income into the family, getting a bit of dirty political action.
For progressives, it means they have say inside your family - The congregation of dalals(political) now stand stronger. Their bribed identity politics asides, it has no relation to working of the state. It is a new construction. I think the humanity depts are doing experiment in India. Thanks to Kumudini Patis of the world ( She has an article above), these women think they are changing the world. I have seen a lot of them, curtain eventually falls on them, changes hide their arrogant changes.
