Mumbai, Maharashtra: In an exclusive conversation with IANS, actor Parvin Dabas shared his views on the Women’s Reservation Bill, expressing a nuanced perspective on this bill. While he welcomed the government’s move as a positive step toward empowering women, he also emphasized his belief that there should ideally be no reservation system for anyone. According to him, if society truly aims for equality, opportunities should be based purely on merit rather than reserved quotas. Dabas further discussed the broader reservation system in India, highlighting his opinion that it should eventually be reconsidered in favor of a more merit-driven approach. At the same time, he strongly supported the idea of women stepping forward and taking leadership roles across all fields, stressing the importance of their active participation in shaping the future.

00:00Welcome to INS.
00:03Women's Reservation Bill is finally going to be implemented.
00:06How do you look at this decision?
00:10I see women's reservation bill in two ways.
00:15First of all, yes.
00:18We need to keep women in the progress of this country.
00:29And of course, they should be at the forefront.
00:33But personally, I am against reservation of any kind.
00:40I feel women are capable enough.
00:43How many things are in these things?
00:47I don't want to say it for women.
00:51I'm saying overall,
00:52I'm saying that in our country,
00:55the system of our country has been implemented.
00:58The system of which has been implemented,
01:03that has been implemented.
01:06And some of the classes,
01:08which have been said backward,
01:10many of them can't speak backward.
01:14Correct?
01:14So, a reservation,
01:18women's reservation,
01:19is also necessary.
01:21Because the rest of the reservation have been kept.
01:24So,
01:25in my opinion,
01:26reservation is overall abolished.
01:30Women,
01:31you can see,
01:32there is no need for any reservation.
01:36No,
01:36no,
01:37any other classes.
01:40Reservation is all on merit.
01:43I would agree with that.
01:44This is my opinion on the country.
01:47So,
01:48it's all on merit.
01:52It's all on merit.
01:53These are all on merit.
01:54I can't make an answer on merit.
02:00We're not on merit.
02:06This is my opinion on merit.
02:10The problem is that
02:11this thing to politicize for so many people are sitting here
02:14that the reservation is very difficult to remove the reservation.
02:17Because as you take away, people are sitting here
02:21and they are very much sitting here.
02:23But you cannot abolish the caste system
02:27until there is reservation.
02:29We say that we are all one, but if we are all one,
02:33then it should be a merit on everything.
02:34If you are saying that some of them are equal,
02:37then now, because there is a reservation for so many years,
02:41there is a reservation that is going on.
02:41There are some backwards classes, economically backwards,
02:45which it was wrong with quite a time.
02:49It has been taken away from them.
02:51Now, we are all equal in that.
02:53So if you want to keep this right,
02:57equality, then you have to abolish it.
02:59The caste system cannot abolish it
03:02when you identify the caste people.
03:05And if you get the same perks,
03:07then how do you abolish it?
03:09Do you think in politics,
03:11there will be a real change in women's representation?
03:15Absolutely.
03:16In my opinion, women should be there much more in politics
03:21and in every sphere.
03:22I think there are great leaders.
03:24They work very well.
03:26They are very good leaders.
03:27In our office,
03:29you can see in the office,
03:31Preeti is the main leader.
03:33She is the head of the People's Arm Wrestling Federation in India.
03:38She is the vice president of the Asian Arm Wrestling Federation.
03:42So she gets a lot of respect.
03:43She does a lot of things.
03:45But that is not because just a reservation.
03:50That is because she was actually the best person to lead it.
03:53So I think women should come to the forefront definitely.
03:58You know, whether, you know, through reservation or not,
04:01women have to be coming forward to lead this nation.
04:05We are, of course, we had Indra Gandhi ji lead the nation for a long period of time.
04:10We have, we have, we have, we have, we have, we have many women in all walks of life.
04:20And if it is to increase the, a woman in, in, in, in parliament,
04:27I think it is a very good step to increase.
04:29But let me say again,
04:31I think that I am not against the reservation.
04:34Sir, can you say women reservation is a strong step?
04:38Or is it a reformer need?
04:40Is it a reformer need?
04:41Is it a reformer need?
04:42You have to pay attention to the future generation.
04:45What impact has the impact?
04:45Look at that.
04:49I have not seen that detail in detail.
04:51But in our parliament and women leaders need to be political.
04:57And that there is a need for the women leaders.
05:01And now there was a percentage of people who were not saying it.
05:07But there is a need for every political party to nominate their women leaders.
05:14That's why it's necessary to preserve those seats.
05:17You don't have to do that.
05:19The political party decides that we will have our women leaders to come and fight against them.
05:26So these are two different things.
05:28Women leaders to come and fight against them.
05:30They need to give seats.
05:32But there is a need for that.
05:35This is another problem.
05:38Do you think that the empowerment of reservation is possible?
05:41Or the mindset of change is equally important?
05:44Mindset will change.
05:46I think the time of reservation should be finished.
05:49It should be a merit.
05:50India is very far ahead.
05:52India is one of the greatest country.
05:56The superpower is already in its footsteps.
05:59But the greatest superpower will become every thing.
06:04Every thing should be a merit.
06:05Every thing should be a merit.
06:06The best people should be ahead.
06:08It should be whatever it is.
06:09Look, if you think that there is 800 seats in the parliament.
06:13And for every seat, there is a woman who is best.
06:16And if they want to win, who would say that it shouldn't happen?
06:20That it shouldn't happen.
06:20That it should be a reservation now.
06:22The best candidate should be the best candidate.
06:25Whether it be anything, whether it be in politics or business,
06:28whether it be in any sphere,
06:29whether it be in any sphere.
06:29The best candidate should be a merit.
06:32The best candidate should be a merit.
