Abstract
The Women Reservation Bill seeks to reserve one third of the total number of seats in Lok Sabha, state legislative assemblies and Delhi legislative assembly for women. It means that the Bill will increase women representation by bringing at least one third women in the legislatures. Women Reservation Bill will not only be helpful in increasing the number of women representatives in the decision making but it will also help to improve their lower status and position in the society. Therefore, the Bill was introduced many times since 1996. But never got the approval of the lower house. In 2008 it was introduced in Rajya Sabha, a permanent house. Though passed by Rajya Sabha in 2010, it never got the approval of lower house till 2023. Main reason for not supporting it seems that all political parties had their own political interests that is why they took so long to make it a legislation by amending the Constitution. It got the approval of both the houses of Parliament in September 2023. In this paper an attempt is made to discuss the behavior of political parties supporting and opposing the Bill at the time it was introduced in Rajya Sabha in 2008.
