Description

This academic work by Routledge examines the real-world impact of the 1992 Constitutional Amendment in India, which mandated the reservation of one-third of positions in village panchayats for women. Through deep field research, the book tracks how women navigate local governance and political participation. Based on extensive interviews with 1,200 panchayat representatives and community members, the study provides a detailed look at the experiences of women in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh. These regions offer a unique perspective as they are often noted for lower social and gender indicators. Readers gain insight into the awareness, motivation, and perceptions of women elected during the first elections following the Amendment. By comparing initial findings with a follow-up survey, the text documents the evolving roles of women in rural Indian politics. This book is a valuable resource for those studying sociology, anthropology, and gender studies in the context of Indian local government.
