Why this matters

The Women's Reservation Bill, now the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam, aims to reserve one-third of seats for women in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies. Its implementation is contingent on a delimitation exercise and census, which could delay it for years, making discussions on its timeline crucial for women's political representation.
