Being impartial to the intentions behind the women’s quota Bill, one can say that it will help uplift Indian women. Women have been marginalised in the male-dominated Indian society. However, adequate precautions need to be taken to see to it that the most marginalised sections of the society like Muslims, and other minorities get their share of this reservation. The current overall representation of Muslims in almost all the sectors of economy, bureaucracy, judiciary, legislature and other bodies is abysmal and needs rectification to bring them into the mainstream of development process.
