EXAMINING MODES, VARIABLES, AND GOVERNMENT INITIATIVES FOR WOMEN'S PARTICIPATION IN INDIAN POLITICS

Abstract

This study aims to examine the modes, variables, and government initiatives associated with women's participation in Indian politics. Despite progress in recent years, women's representation in Indian politics remains low compared to their male counterparts. Understanding the factors that influence women's political participation is crucial for promoting gender equality and inclusive governance. This study utilizes a comprehensive literature review to analyze the various modes of women's political participation, including electoral representation, leadership roles, and grassroots activism. Additionally, it explores key variables such as societal norms, education, socio-economic factors, and cultural barriers that affect women's engagement in politics. Furthermore, the study examines the impact of government initiatives and policies aimed at enhancing women's political participation. The findings provide valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities for increasing women's participation in Indian politics and inform strategies for promoting gender equality and inclusive governance.
