There is no justice or rationale of reasonable human answer for making a group of People a despised low Caste by Religion and then Government compensate them with special undemocratic political favouritism. A welfare Government provides certain economic Privileges or Concession to certain economically weak Class of the Citizens with reserved quota for Seats in the Educational Institutes or Government Services in Employment. Government may also provide for Senior Citizens and for physically old infirm and no longer able to earn a decent livelihood with privileges of Confessional Rate of Fare in the Rail or in the Airplane. These special treatments are rationale and reasonable in a Welfare human Society. However, the 8 yards distance between the Goal Posts in the Soccer Field is the same for both of every group of Players educated or not, rich or poor and Male or Female. The Marathon Race of 26 miles 385 Yards distance is the same for both the Male and the Female. The Circumference of the Ball is the same for both the Genders in the Football Game. The Discuss and the Shot-put Iron ball and Hammer throw should be of the same Weight for both Male and Female Athletes than lighter and smaller for the Females!
But what can be more unjust and lack of every human rationale than to give special political Treatment to a certain group among Equals? In Politics, there is no Separate Democratic System for one Gender and a separate System for another Gender. The Rules of Democracy and democratic Political System is the same for both the male and female Gender.
There was serious differences of political Opinion between Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. Bhimraj Ambedkar –the Author of the Constitution of India. Ambedkar was a Dalit and wanted Separate Seat and Voting for the Schedule Castes election by the Dalits themselves. The British Government would have granted the demand but Mahatma Gandhi vehemently said the Dalits alone could not have a separate democratic favour in Democracy. If the Dalits are down trodden; the reasons for its being down trodden should be removed rather than compensate the unjust social practice with unjust political favour.
Females are treated a Weaker Gender in the Hindus Matriarchal Society like in the Nagas. The individual Hindus Males are of no more or no less compassionate than a Naga Man, but the Hindu Religion looks at the Girl as not only the weaker gender but also a lower gender.
The degree of female feticides in the Hindu Society in India gives an indication of the insurmountable attitude towards the Female in the Hindu Society. Another indication of the attitude on the female among the Hindus is the unfavourable practice of Dowry in which the girl’s father gives money and other valuables to the husband for the marriage of his daughter as if giving his daughter alone is not sufficient enough valuable unless accompanied with presents of gold and silver.
The Naga Matriarchal society also looks at the girl as the weaker Gender but the Naga never looks down at the woman. The Sumis in the Naga Society have a custom of declaring a Bride Price for the marriage of the girl. However, the Bride Price in the Sumi Case is indication of the degree of Honor the Girl has rather than to add value to her.
The Government of India greatly feels uncomfortable at the unjust injustice treatment of the Woman folks in the Hindu Society, but it does not have any Idea to compensate the Injustice to the Female Gender. Therefore, Government is introducing Political Favouritism for the Female Gender. It is also not for nothing!
The Nagas do not have any uncomfortable feeling of injustice towards the Female Gender because in his heart he has no such attitudinal feeling.
It is very unwise to compensate a Social Injustice with political favouritism. The Female Gender does not merit any Political Favouritism just because the Gender is female. The Naga’s do not feel any obligation to give political favour the women folks just because they are Females.
Yes, in Studies, in their duties, girls are better and more sincer than Boys are. Girls look after their old Parents and others with more Care and Tenderness; they are par excellence in that, but it is not because they are brainier nor have more compassion than men have. It is just that God has made them like that and Men thank God for that.
However, that does not merit any extra political kickback of 30% Reservation in the Urban Bodies Election to Woman. Man and Woman is Equal before God, before the Law and before modern Free Will Democracy. Woman Reservation in ULB Election is Unwise, Unjust Favouritism in Naga Polity; leave alone Article 371A of the Constitution of India.
Political Favouritism has no place in modern Free Will Democracy. In Politics Man and Woman must have equal share of 100% each.
