Today when Indian women cast votes and contest elections, not even in their distant imagination they pay gratitude to the women who fought for their right to vote. The right is taken as granted for. In fact, there is a history of a struggle led by Begum Jahanara Shahnawaz.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Begum Jahanara Shahnawaz was one of the two women representatives at the First Round Table Conference(RTC<\/a>), one of the three women representatives at the Second Round Table Conference and the only women at the Third Round Table Conference. Later on, when the Joint Select Committee was formed to finalize the Government of India Act, 1935, Jahanara was the only woman member of it.<\/span><\/p>\n

One question which one may ask is, how is Jahanara responsible for the voting rights of the Indian women?
\nThe Indian women were living a life of second grade citizens when the Simon Commision, in 1927, came to India. Jahanara, as a member of All India Women\u2019s Commision (AIWC), argued in front of it that the Indian women should get a reservation in assemblies and voting rights.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Though, it led Simon to write that \u2018future of India lies in the hands of women\u2019 but still the Government of India Despatch recommended, \u201cNo special provision should be made for women\u201d.<\/p>\n

Since the Indians were protesting against the Simon Commision report, the RTCs were organized to give Indians a chance to put their grievances in front of the British Government.
\nJahanara was chosen to represent the 160 million Indian women at these conferences.<\/p>\n

Special provisions for the women<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

At the First Round Table Conference, Jahanara spoke that in India people were talking of \u201cthe liberty of their motherland\u201d and this national aspirations could not be checked by the British.
\nShe further argued that there should be special provisions for the women and it should be declared that women would get equal voting rights.
\nJahanara did not fail to acknowledge that it was \u201cthe first time that women have been admitted to such a gathering\u201d.<\/p>\n

During her stay in England, Jahanara lobbied hard to gather the support for enfranchisement of the Indian women.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

After the all three RTC were concluded a Select Committee was formed in 1933 and she was included in that.
\nShe met leading women activists in London like Lady Reading, Lady Astor, Lady Pethwick Lawrence, Miss Rathbone and others, in order to form a public opinion in England in support of the voting rights and reservation to the Indian women.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0When the Government of India Act 1935 was finally published it gave voting rights to almost 600,000 women and provided for reservation in the Legislative Assemblies.<\/span><\/p>\n

When History was made<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Though, it was still less than the demand of Universal Adult Franchise made by Jahanara but still it was a huge victory for the Indian women. As a result of reservation, 80 women members were elected to the Provincial Legislative Assemblies in 1937 elections. The history had been made.<\/p>\n

This is not the only gift of Jahanara to the nation. She rallied hard when Harbilas Sarda introduced a bill in the Central Legislative Assembly to raise the minimum legal age for marriage in 1927. From 1927 till 1929, the bill was kept with a committee to ponder upon it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Begum Jahanara and Child Marriage Restraint Act, 1929<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It was Jahanara along with other women activists of AICW who formed a popular public opinion in the country to support the bill. Interestingly, except Mian Shahnawaz all the Muslim members in the committee opposed the bill. Shahnawaz, husband of Jahanara, was mocked for his \u2018betrayal\u2019 and accusations were made that he was under the \u2018influence\u2019 of his wife.
\nThe bill was passed as Child Marriage Restraint Act, 1929, which fixed the minimum age for marriage for women at 14 and for men at 18.<\/p>\n

In 1937, Jahanara was elected to the Punjab Legislative Assembly and appointed the Parliamentary Secretary.
\nIn this capacity she focused on the health issues and low age expectancy among women.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

After the Partition of India, Jahanara lived in Pakistan and in 1948 successfully led a movement to get Right to inherit the property of deceased parents.
\nIt was her efforts that the Pakistani women could get the right to inheritance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In a nutshell, Begum Jahanara Shahnawaz is another woman whom our male centric society has forgotten.
\nMaybe this is the price a woman had to pay to fight against the patriarchy to snatch the rights for herself and other women.<\/span><\/p>\n
