Title

POLITICAL EMPOWERMENT OF WOMEN THROUGH THEIR REPRESENTATION IN LEGISLATURES AND LOCAL BODIES

Abstract

ABSTRACT The problem of women reservation is an age-old issue. Montague has categorically rejected for the women representation in the proposed legislature to be introduced in India through Montague Chelmsford reforms in 1919. But some of the women representatives were elected to the state legislatures and imperial assembly during British period. The Constitution of India has conferred all rights including political rights upon women. From 1960 onwards the women representation has been slowly increased but not appreciably. Efforts of the first lady Prime Minister Mrs. Indira Gandhi are not met with success. Movement has been launched by the feminist leaders for the reservations in law making bodies. The political parties have taken different stand on women reservation which became a hurdle in the passage of the women reservation bill. The women reservation in law making bodies is essential to solve their problems and to recognize their rights conferred by the constitution of India. Most of the states have passed legislations providing 33% reservation to women. Later the reservation has been increased upto 50% in the first decade of the present century. All these issues would be highlighted in present article.
