What Is the Women’s Reservation Bill?
The Women’s Reservation Bill seeks to reserve 33 percent of seats in the Lok Sabha and state legislative assemblies for women, aiming to significantly improve gender representation in Indian politics.
Why Did the Bill Fail in Lok Sabha?
The bill failed to pass in the Lok Sabha as it could not secure the required two-thirds majority needed for a constitutional amendment. While it received more votes in favour than against, it fell short of the special majority threshold, leading to its defeat in the House.
