International Women's Day: How are women reshaping India’s political landscape?

Compared to other countries, modern India’s political history is relatively new, marking its beginning in 1947. Nevertheless, India was one of the earliest countries to grant women the right to vote, taking the step right after its independence in 1947. The politicians came to a consensus about giving women the right to vote without much discussion. By 1950, the law was made part of the Indian constitution, and women were legally allowed to vote. This sparked political aspirations amongst women across the country, urging them to join politics and discuss broad issues such as women's empowerment.
