Panchayati Raj And Women in India : A Sociological Analysis
Journal Title: Research Journal of Philosophy & Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
Historically, women’s role in politics has been negligible. They have always been confined to domestic life. Outside area was, primarily, an area of activity for only men. That’s why women were assumed to be less capable at carrying out the political activities. However, feminists reject these views as irrational. Though, the ‘male stream’ researches always tend to stamp them as irrelevant political actors; sometimes even ‘scientifically’. Several organizations came up before independence to uplift the status of women in India. As a result, the horizon of their activities increased. Some of them actively participated in the independent movement as well, but, only, as undercover agents. They could not carve out a niche for themselves in politics. The real turning point was the introduction of 73rd Amendment Act. The present paper attempts to evaluate the 73rd Amendment Act of Indian Constitution with a gender perspective on the basis of various studies. It examines the various aspects of women reservation in political area, in the context of India.
