Abstract |
The debate on affirmative action often generates passion among people, especially in India. This paper highlights the main arguments regarding the need of affirmative action for women in India. They have largely been a pool of untapped resource. Greater presence of women in places like educational and public institutions, legislature etc. can provide them with equal opportunity to uplift their socio-economic status and this will also benefit the Indian society at large. This paper raises the dilemma as to what could be the best possible way to ameliorate the condition of women in Indian society and tries to solve this dilemma by advocating the need of affirmative action for women and substantiating it with the similar views given by various feminist scholars. Keywords - Affirmative action, Representation, Discrimination, Glass Ceiling. | |||||||||
