00:00I think this is a very progressive decision which will benefit our country because I think women and men, they
00:08have to hold hands and work together everywhere in personal life, professional life, running the country
00:15Because women, they are just sensitive to their worldview, they are different from the world, it's like yin and yang,
00:23the man who thinks are the most important, the man who thinks are the most important, the man who thinks
00:27are the most important.
00:28So if a woman gets the most important perspective in this country, the whole country will be a great deal.
00:35So I am very happy that this decision is taken.
00:39I agree to every bit that she is saying.
00:41I think if I just have to add something, this is not the, I think this for me is one
00:49of the steps of women empowerment.
00:52And it should not stop here.
00:54It should in fact head from here to building the infrastructure to empower women.
00:58And I hope, now that we have taken this step, because I am of a belief that reservation is not
01:04a solution for anything.
01:05It is a step towards that.
01:08And it's a good step to take, but it needs a lot more work.
01:13And I see, now that we have it, 15 years more of building the infrastructure to empower women, would really
01:20take them from this underprivileged and privileged conversation that happens, onto the same platform for everyone.
01:27That's the hope of reservation.
01:29That's the hope of reservation.
01:29The idea is not that, ek third bas women kai reha, or it doesn't work like that.
01:34I am not a believer of that.
01:36So yeah, it's a great step to take.
01:37And I hope, it is a start and not the end of this.
