Tracing the Gender Gap in the Politics of Assam: A Study based on Women Representation

Author(s) Dr. Lucky Chetia, Dr. Dhrubajyoti Saikia

Abstract Equal representation of both men and women in decision- making is crucial for bolstering the democratic setup in a nation like India. However, since India’s independence the representation of women in politics has remained unequal. Significantly, the Constitution of India guarantees equal opportunity for participation in politics for both men and women. Despite this, women are literally underrepresented in both Parliament and legislative assemblies. In the case of Assam, at present, out of 126 members of the legislative assembly, only 5 are women. However, from 1952 to the 2021 Assembly Election of Assam, women’s representation was not more than 9%. Undoubtedly, it is only because of gender inequality, which plays a crucial role in Assamese society. More or less, Assamese society is governed by some traditional practices for which gender bias is still present. Taking into account, this paper tries to highlight the following objectives.
(i) To understand the concept of gender.
(ii) To explore the causes of gender gap in Assamese society.
(iii) To analyse the women’s representation in the legislative assembly election and Lok Sabha election.
(iv) To highlight the link in between gender gap and Women’s representation in Assam.
