Representation, Reservation, Women, Politics etc.
Participation of women in politics is a fundamental prerequisite for gender equality and strengthening democracy. A democratic country will success, if it provide equal status to all citizens irrespective of caste, class, religion, sex etc. India is a democratic country, The constitution of India has ensured greater participation of people in socio-economic and political spheres by incorporating fundamental rights to all citizens of India. Apart from this, Article 325 and 326 of Indian constitution ensure equal right to participation in political activities. There is no legal barrier for women to take active part in politics. Majority of women of India lives in rural areas. Therefore, their participation in the grass-roots level political institutions is indispensable for their empowerment and gender equality. But it has been found that representation of women in the panchayati raj institutions remained unsatisfactory. The 73rd Amendment Act of the Indian Constitution creates a remarkable step towards women representation in the panchayati raj institutions by reserving 33% seats for them in the panchayati raj institutions. In the context of Assam, woen participation in the panchayati raj institutions as an elected representative is became high as a result of the reservation introduced for women in the panchayati raj institutions as per the 73rd Constitutional Amendment Act of the Indian constitution. But their representation is not qualitative. The present study will make an attempt to analyse the level of representation of women in the panchayati raj institutions in the context of Assam.
