In today’s era of modernization women have made their presence felt in almost every field and politics is no exception. Although India is known is for its male chauvinist societies since ages, the ice is now defined and governed by majority of women politicians. It is scarcely news that women are underrepresented in Indian politics.

In most parties, the women members are by and large thin on the ground if not invisible in the actual decision – making bodies and rarely influence the more significant party policies. The majority of women in the Indian Parliament are from the elite class while their public role challenges some stereotypes; their class position often allows them a far greater range of options than are available to poorer women.
