This document proposes an alternative to India's proposed bill for reserving one-third of legislative seats for women. It summarizes problems with the proposed bill, including that it would forcibly unseat incumbent male politicians and not address underlying issues reducing women's participation in politics. The alternative proposes requiring political parties to nominate women candidates for one-third of constituencies to address these issues while allowing parties flexibility in candidate selection. It also proposes reserving one-third of Rajya Sabha and Legislative Council seats for women.
