Parliament reservation for women

Assuming that goal of reservation i.e to give equal representation or opportunities to women, is incontestable.

Reservation is a tool, a policy to answer these questions. This tool comes with some caveats, some warnings which should be addressed beforehand.

The problem is that we are ignoring these side-effects which may occur. We should work out the if-clause, what if the reservation doesn't get the desired result.

As in computer science we use try-catch block to deal with any exception which might occur, we should lay down rules for any exceptional or failure of reservation in achieving its goal.

Some problems reservation may create:

1.) It may create a coterie of elite women. Benefits may not propagate to common women.

2.) It may create imbalance in quality and competitiveness between men and women.
