Abstract

A detestable political countenance that has been concealed behind the ugly political manoeuvrings for long is women’s negligible representation in Indian politics. Whenever invoked about the matter, almost all political parties pay usual lip service sans any substantive actions. Of late, women’s reservation bill is largely obscured from getting voted in Indian parliament. This paper first examines the core factors that impede women representation in Indian politics, and then it analyses the impasses around women’s reservation bill which would most probably invigorate women’s representation in politics.

Keywords: Democracy; Reservation; Caste; Sphere; Culture.
