Well, women need reservation more than anybody. Giving reservation to them atleast removes the division along caste lines and religion. Maybe the reservation that BJP's manifesto includes for UP elections where it offers 20 % reservation for women in govt. jobs and local bodies might make a dent on the strong holds of SP and BSP. I personally support giving reservation to muslim women and empowering them will break the back bone of mullah strong hold on Indian Muslims. You just cannot say all women came up on their own in a male dominated society. They were given avenues to enter and make their mark and merit too played it's role. But that is a good thing too.
