ABSTRACT | ||
The present paper reviews the existing paradox
between the inclusive development and deprivation of women, of their right to political
participation and representation, as a decision maker in the parliament and the
state legislative assemblies in India. Perplexedly the idea of inclusive
development is promoted in all areas of life and the gender inequality is also likely
to persist everywhere. The domain of Indian politics is no less different. The
Indian politics is characterised by the prevailing large gender gap and
inequality. Women being the victim of gender inequality are deprived of their
due share and rights in life. Women as decision maker, is never accepted by the
patriarchal society which is manifested in the national and state legislative
assemblies too. Amidst the prevailing gender inequality, the country aims to
achieve the goal of inclusive development. Development without equity and
social justice is unattainable. The fact
of political status of women is not appropriate with the concept of inclusive
development. | ||
