Detailed Solution

The arguments justifying the women’s organisations' demand for reservation of one-third of seats for women in the parliament are that it is democratic to have women participate in the legislature and it is undemocratic to have only 10% of women representation in parliament.
Democracy has a broader meaning than merely a government chosen by the people. Democracy can also mean taking into account all stakeholders to make decisions. In this instance, a mere 10 per cent of women's representation shows an insufficient and unequal representation of women in the legislature. Moreover, since most decisions are made using majority support, their inadequate representation can mean the neglect of the concerns and interests of women.
