what is the status of women's representation in India's legislative bodies?
Answers
In India, the women’s participation in the political area is very low. The women’s strength in the Lok Sabha is not even 10%. Their share in state assemblies is as low as 5%. The share of women legislators in India is behind hind those of several developing countries of Latin America and Africa, In the panchayats and municipalities, it is legally binding to fill one-third of the seats by women candidates. This has resulted in 10 lakh elected women representatives in the local government bodies.
in India's legislative bodies, women or men , neither of them have special status both of them are considered equal and have equal opportunities.But as social discrimination against women exists in India, the government has rolled out many policies to give women more opportunities like that for SC and ST.
