Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
When compared to other countries across the globe, India ranks at the bottom in terms of the percentage of women who have seats in legislative bodies. In the history of the Lok Sabha, the percentage of seats held by women has never exceeded 15 percent. On the other hand, things are handled differently when it comes to the many entities that make up local government. There are more than 10 lakh elected female representatives in rural and urban local bodies. This is because women are given a reservation of one-third of the seats in local government bodies (such as panchayats and municipalities).
So, Women’s participation in the Indian legislature is very low.
