I've watched so many capable, driven women around me get talked over or passed by in spaces built by and for men for generations -- making that reservation permanent feels like refusing to let that hard-won progress ever quietly slide backward again.
The Women's Reservation Act passed in 2023 itself included a sunset-adjacent structure tied to the next delimitation and census, and legal scholars note that framing it as time-bound with built-in review was itself the political compromise that got it passed at all after nearly three decades of the bill being stalled.
