This paper examines the status of women in Indian politics, highlighting the challenges they face and measures to increase their representation. Despite progress, women remain underrepresented in political offices. The study explores the impact of societal norms, violence, and economic disparities on women's political participation. It also discusses initiatives like the Women's Reservation Bill and capacity-building programs to promote women's empowerment.
