A Study of Women as Decision Maker in The Political Domain and The Inclusive Development Abhirupa Majumder, Asst. Prof, Dept. of Political Science, A.B.N Seal College, Cooch Behar, West Bengal, India | |
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. | |
