Question

The Lok Sabha has always had less than 10 percent women members.
Read the above statement carefully and then answer the questions that follow:
(i) Say whether the above statement reflects the strength or the weakness of our electoral system.
(ii) How can the existing percentage of women members in Lok Sabha be increased?
(iii) is this meagre representation of women justified? Give reasons for your answer.

Answer 1

(i) The above statement reflects the weakness of our electoral system.
(ii) By spreading education among women.
No, this meagre representation of women is not justified because it shows disparity between the two sexes. Unless women be given equal status, our country can never achieve optimum success.
