520			_aConceding Indian patriarchal value system's negative role, the author asserts that neither male domination nor State has been really opposed to democratic rights of women, as is the case even in the developed world. To him, India's record has been both laudable and favourable for women. Discussing a two-pronged strategy of women empowerment - i.e. political, through the Bill seeking reservation of seats in legislatures; and economic, through economic development programmes - in the present context, he, however, argues in favour of economic empowerment through affirmative action than adopting a gender-based reservation at Union, State or Local levels. - Reproduced
