An Analysis of Women’s Empowerment in Indian Politics
Author : Syed Manuaruz Zaman
Abstract :
Ancient Indian women held high social status and excellent health, with significant roles in education, marriage, family life, caste, gender, religion, and culture. They worked as teachers, helped in farming, and participated in religious rituals with their husbands. During the Buddhist period, women's condition improved slightly. This study examines women's representation in Indian politics, challenges faced, and their impact on policy-making and governance. It highlights the need for increased grassroots participation, education, training, and legal reform. Success stories of women leaders serve as role models, emphasizing the need for addressing gender inequality and creating an inclusive environment for women in Indian politics.
