Author(s): Dr. Gurdeep Kaur
Abstract: Politics can be a crucial tool for emancipating and empowering women. The presence of females in Parliament is a positive effort but still due representation cannot be seen in practicality. The number of prominent women leaders in India is very less. This paper focuses on this very issue. Is the problem relates to inadequate awareness, lack of consistency, inherent patriarchy or all of them? This paper also throws a light on the role of reservation bill in women empowerment. The research findings also suggest the ways that needs to be done to achieve gender parity in political representation and what can be done to avoid women being used as proxy representatives of a male family member in politics.
