Abstract :
In the Indian context, quotas for women's
reservation have resulted in more women being included
in local self-governing organisations, but they are still
excluded by the male-dominated political power
structure. In the socio-political order, even elected
women MPs remain mute bystanders. Women's
reservation, it should be noted, has failed to remove
certain important barriers, such as local electoral
campaign finance, numerous imbalances between family
life and politics, difficulty attending meetings, and so on.
Women's reservations, on the other hand, have the
ability to kick-start other processes of female
empowerment. In other words, political representation
for women might be viewed as a prerequisite for their
empowerment. More women in politics is also seen to
improve the quality of politics. In the Indian sociopolitical context, politics was formerly thought to be a
male-dominated realm. Women's political engagement is
now expected to be accompanied with less dirty and
corrupt politics, particularly in democratic countries like
India.
Keywords :
political empowerment, constitutional rights, discrimination, exclusion, women reservation.
