Underrepresented minority in politics

Political parties must heed Justice Nagarathna’s remark on political representation for women

- 

Justice BV Nagarathna has introduced a gender dimension to the conversation on political and social equality.

While hearing a petition seeking a directive from the Supreme Court on women’s reservation in Parliament and state assemblies, she drew attention to the fact that women constitute the largest minority in the country, while clarifying that enforcement of the law is the executive's responsibility.
