Women, Politics, ChallengesAbstract [English]
There are lots of challenges in the way of participation of women in politics not only in our country but also in the entire globe. Primarily they have to spend most of their time in maintaining family members and domestic works. Women are recognized as symbol of wealth for the family. During the British period the Women were given to right to vote and contest election under the India Act of 1935 and emphasized the participation of women in political life. The significance of women’s roles in the decision making process in the society may be understood from the number of participants taken part in the political activities. The first Lok Sabha election was held in 1952 and only a few women contested the election. In Assam only two women were there in the fray. Since 1952 to present only nine women were elected to the Lok Sabha in spite of the constitutional provision of 33% of reservation for women, the number is counted at a very negligible number.
