Quotas for parliament.

India’s parliament has postponed a vote on a bill seeking to reserve one third of parliamentary seats for female candidates after strong opposition caused proceedings to be repeatedly adjourned.

Some legislators who opposed the Womens’ Reservation bill tore up a copy of the legislation and hurled it at the speaker when it was tabled in the upper house of India’s parliament on Monday.
