Answer 2

Women representation

Explanation:

Political parties do not give enough tickets to women in India due to the following reasons:

1. Women representation is low in politics in India because of cultural reasons. Women are not encouraged to go out of the house and have an active career. They are considered inferior to men. In some rural areas, birth of female child is not preferred. Also literacy rate of women is very low. All this collectively led to very low representation of women in India.

The values lacked:

1. Equality of women is lacking. So some form of social division needs to be expressed in politics. Reservation for women should be established. The bill is still pending in parliament. Prevention of female infanticide and education of girl child must be made mandatory.
