No because- 1) Voice of women was silenced by their parents and husbands only.

2) There were social evils like sati system, purdah etc. which prevented the women to take her own decisions freely.

3) Society prevented women to take big decisions.

4) Women also needed a platform on which they can speak against the social evils and also ensure that her voice reached each and every women.
Therefore condition of women was a matter which must be raised on political level.

Answer:

Women also needed a forum where they could speak out against societal injustices and make sure that every woman heard them.

Therefore, the plight of women was an issue that needed to be brought up on a political level.

Explanation:

The main findings of the survey are as follows:

Participation of women in politics:

The survey found that their social and economic status has a significant impact on women's electoral participation. Political participation was found to be high among women of higher social class (caste) and economic classes, whereas this participation was very less among women of lower socioeconomic strata.

However, the role of women as voters in elections has increased over the years. In various elections held in many states, women are voting at the same rate as men, while in many places they are voting more than men.

Apart from this, women are also becoming autonomous about their political choice, but this trend was also seen more in urban areas and among educated women.

Men's dominance in politics:

It was revealed through this survey that the dominance of men is one of the main impediments to the political participation of women. Two-thirds of women over the age of 50 believe that the political dominance of men does not give women opportunities in politics, while half of the women in their 20-25s hold the opposite view.

Moreover, the majority of women believe that Indian voters vote more in favour of male candidates than women.

Political opportunities include contesting an election, getting a ticket for a political party, and the probability of winning an election.

The following are the reasons for the low participation of women in politics:

patriarchal society:

The main reasons for the low participation of women in politics are patriarchal society and its structural deficiencies. Because of this, women get fewer opportunities and they lag far behind men in political competition.

About one-third of women saw patriarchal society as a hindrance to their political participation.

Domestic Responsibilities:

Most of the women in the survey admitted that they are unable to participate in politics due to domestic responsibilities such as taking care of children, cooking for the members of the household and other family reasons.

About 13% of women attributed their low participation in politics to domestic responsibilities.

personal reason:

Many women do not actively participate in politics even due to personal reasons. These are personal reasons - lack of interest in politics, lack of awareness, educational backwardness etc.

About 10% of women are not able to take part in politics due to personal reasons.

Cultural restrictions and conservatism:

Women are also unable to participate in politics due to cultural norms and stereotypes. Cultural restrictions include the practice of purdah, not talking to any other man, women not going out, etc.

About 7% of women admitted that they do not participate in politics due to cultural reasons.

Socio-Economic Reasons:

Weak socio-economic background also hinders women's political participation.

The negative image of politics:

Due to the negative image of politics among common people and the corruption prevalent in it, women also take less interest in politics.
