WOMEN'S POLITICAL PARTICIPATION IN INDIA

The ratio of participation of women lawmakers in politics is a need of an hour in order to pass many unbiased and gender-neutral laws by the legislatures. As we are celebrating 75thyear of Independence as “Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav”, we need a Mahotsav where women’s participation in politics could be equal to their male counterparts and this participation is not required to show the supremacy of women’s or to decrease the supremacy of men’s in politics, but to have equal say and share in passing any legislation. We as a union and democratic state of India must consider and hear every citizen’s voice and point of perception before making and implementing any decision so the social fabric of the country be maintained and remain intact. We will be analyzing turnouts of both male and female voters from since the first Loksabha election in India till the latest election held in the year 2019 and would be understanding the participation of women’s aselectoral as well as elected lawmakers in parliament. We will try to understand whether the participation of women in parliament is according to the population ofwomen in India and whether they have been appropriately represented in our Indian democracy and would also like to direct some suggestions in order to resolve the disbalance in the representation of women in politics, if any.
