Abstract
The Women’s Reservation Bill, 2023 marks a historic step towards gender equality in Indian politics by providing 33% reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and state legislative assemblies. The bill aims to ensure greater representation of women in decision-making roles and bridge the gender gap in political participation. Despite being a long-pending demand, its implementation is tied to the completion of delimitation and the census, raising concerns about further delays. This paper critically analyzes the key provisions, political implications, and the challenges surrounding its execution, while also exploring its potential to reshape India’s democratic and social landscape.
