Answer:

Explanation: answer 1 --

The book refers to the President as she shows that the highest office in India can also be occupied by a woman. Yes, we have had a woman President in our country. Pratibha Devi Singh Patil has been the only woman President of our country. She served as the 12th President (July 2007-July 2012) in our country. She was supported by United Progressive Alliance (UPA) and left parties.

answer 2 ---

No, I did not protest, when the book referred to the Prime Minister as ‘he’ because at present, we have a male person as a Prime Minister.

When we are referring to the post in general, we can use her/him simultaneously to show that the said post can be occupied by either males or females. Yes, we had a woman Prime Minister—Indira Gandhi who was a very powerful leader in our country.  

We should not assume that all important positions are held by men, women too can occupy high positions. There is a need to increase die participation of women in politics by providing them at least one-third reservation in the State Assemblies and Parliament.

hope it will help
