The role of women has largely been devalued and even now, many think that their role should be restricted to being home makers. However, our [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitution_of_India Indian constitution] is clear that women have same rights that men have, [[http://www.constitution.org/cons/india/p03015.html article 15] of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitution_of_India Indian constitution] says explicitly '''"(1) The State shall not discriminate against any citizen on grounds only of religion, race, caste, sex, place of birth or any of them."''' However, we do see active and passive discrimination against women in the socia, political, economic spheres of activity.

While the national law requires 33% reservation, Karnataka is one of those states that have required 50% reservation of women in panchayats.
