        abstract = {This study focuses on the level of women’s political participation and representation in different Indian states. The paper highlights how women are gradually entering the political field, but their overall presence still remains limited in comparison to men. By analyzing data from various state elections, it becomes clear that women are showing more interest and confidence in holding political roles, yet several social and structural barriers continue to affect their participation. The study suggests that creating awareness, ensuring party support, and promoting equal opportunities can help in improving women’s representation in politics. Overall, the paper reflects the slow but positive change taking place in the political involvement of women in India.},
