ABSTRACT
India is one of the world’s most popular countries; in this country over 714 million voters decide who should be the head of the world’s largest democracy for next 5 years. And this big democratic country reserved seats for the socially marginalized people namely scheduled caste and tribes. In 2009, 84 seats foe scheduled caste and 47 seats for the scheduled tribes were reserved. The pending bill seeks 33% of reservation for women in parliament and state legislature.

And about the bill that which is still pending.
