Let’s celebrate the great women politicians of India who have crafted and formed the political fabric of this nation with their vision, strength and leadership today on International Women’s Day.
Indira Gandhi, India’s only female prime minister and Mamata Banerjee who defeated decades of left rule in West Bengal by ceasing the baton, these are just some examples that governance thrives with these women at the helm.
Women in politics, their impact is impossible to ignore. For example, CM Jayalalithaa of Tamil Nadu built a steel state creating its economy through extensive welfare schemes. Yet her sudden death created a crisis for political instability in Tamil Nadu where the economy collapsed without her. Women lead and next states do take off as a proven fact that women govern is a way of well being inclusive, socially progressive and economically efficient.
