The number is one short of T.N.’s figure in 2014
Historically, Tamil Nadu has not exhibited a great record of sending women representatives to Parliament. At best, it has sent four women to the Lok Sabha. That figure has mostly waned, dipping to zero once, in the last 30 years. In fact, in 2019, a year that has seen an incremental rise in the number of women in the Lok Sabha, Tamil Nadu will have only three women in the House.
The three - Kanimozhi Karunanidhi and Tamizhachi Thangapandian (of the DMK) and S. Jothimani (of the Congress) – however made a mark with their success, defeating their rivals, all heavyweights, by several lakh votes. Theirs was a strident victory, in that sense.
“All three MPs are well educated, they are litterateurs, and have sworn commitment to issues that they believe in. They are not coming in as hobbyists; instead they come across as serious people intending to make a difference, so we must celebrate this,” says Swarna Rajagopalan, founder of Prajnya, an organisation working on gender issues, and with a focus on women in polity. She advances the argument that perhaps this time, the quality of candidates is a measure that cannot be ignored.
