Role of women in Indian politics

Abstract

The Indian Constitution has provided equal political rights to women as men. The political achievements of women are remarkable and worth mentioning and yet their political path is quite difficult. The field of politics is naturally very difficult. Everyone has to struggle, work hard to make their place in this, but for women this path is even more difficult.  They have to do a lot to move forward in this direction because the number of women leaders in politics is not at the expected level as compared to the population of women. They have representation in the Parliament but their numbers are not increasing at the expected level. This article shows whether the representation of women in politics is at the required level or not.
