Women already hold several important positions. However, women are still underrepresented in parliament and government. Women are politicians as much as men and I hope that more and more women will enter public life through politics, as this will not only increase the participation of women in public life but will also have a beneficial effect on improving the status of women in India. I look forward to the day when more female politicians are accepted and not just as “female politicians”.
