Detailed Solution

The percentage of women in the legislature in India has always been quite low. The government's statistics make it possible to see how many women are represented in India's legislature. As a result, we know the low number of women in the legislature. For instance, for the first time in 2009, elected women legislators in the Lok Sabha represented more than 10% of the body's general membership. Only 5% of them participate in state legislatures. Even when a woman is named Chief Minister or Prime Minister, the Indian cabinet primarily comprises men. One method to address this issue is to make it legally necessary to have a respectable proportion of women in elected institutions, as is the case with the Panchayati Raj. We can improve the status of women in public life through political mobilisation and gender-based political expression.
