Explain women\'s political representation in India? |
| Answer» The political representation of women had been very poor in the Indian legislatures. Even in the cabinet, the number of women ministers is very low.One-third of seats in local government bodies have been reserved for women candidates. This has helped in increasing women’s representation in panchayats and municipalities.A bill for providing one-third reservation in the Lok Sabha and State Assemblies has been pending in the Parliament for more than a decade. Political parties are yet to arrive at consensus on this issue. | |
