    It is not clear why reservation to a substantial proportion of parliament and state assembly seats continues to be stalled again and again. The politicians may be having a fear psychosis due to which they may think women may not conform to unrighteous politics to which Indian legislators are habituated to. Actual experience with women in Indian politics shows they are unscrupulous, selfish and ruthless in our politics incldg.power, as men usually are.HEnce those who are stalling shd. shed their doubts about women.
