With the special session of Parliament beginning April 16, the Union govt is anticipated to take up the girls’s reservation Bill, alongside interesting forward with the delimitation of Lok Sabha and Assembly seats. These are two distinct points – one touching on representation for women, and the alternative reshaping political representation across States.
