The scheming behind the women’s reservation bill by the BJP’s top brass would have made the fox jealous. ADVERTISEMENTAs for the background of the women’s reservation bill, everyone knows about the pivotal role the Communist Party of India, especially Comrade Geeta Mukherjee, had played in the struggle for women’s reservation. Geetadi was a consistent fighter for women’s rights who took the passing of the women’s bill as a life mission. The content of the women’s reservation bill was shaped by the United Front government in 1996 in which the CPI held important positions. The CPI and the Left forces have always been strongly committed to the women’s reservation bill and continued their struggle along with the progressive women’s movement in the country.
