It has been one week since the Cricket Club of India (CCI) in Churchgate has a new president. A woman won the seat to one of the most prestigious seats in the club circuit. It is a tremendous achievement if one looks at one prime reason for that: women have won the right to individual membership in clubs, many decades after men.

Having said that, it is vital we remember that it is not the gender of the person occupying the chair that is important. It is the work they do, how much of those campaign promises they fulfil and what they really bring to the work table that should define their term in office.
