American Presidential elections are definitely going to raise some serious debate on representation of women in power.It is noteworthy that only one female candidate could make a place as a contender to White House. Results of caucases and primeries in Iowa and New Hempshire sugests that she does not enjoy the majority among her gender.
American or western society boast of being neutral as far as gender is concerned. But the poltical history of America clearly reflects the paradox. There is only one lady who could reach to a relatively less important post of Vice- Precident. Representation of women in houses is also a matter of concern.
Asian counteries are being acused of being gender biased so far.But reality does not support this hypothesis. If we talk of India, the paradox seems to be aparent. Indira Gandhi-a woman, has ruled India for almost 15 years.Even today the first citizen happens to be a lady. At present some of the important provinces of indian republic is being riegned by women. Mayawati,Sheela Dixit and Basundhra Raje are apparently at the top of power pyramid in some of the crucial provinces.Sushma Sawaraj, Jay Lalitah, Uma Bharti And Mamta Benargy has also enjoyed the same in the past.The story doesn't end here.Every important political parties today are either headed by some women or they are important in decision making within the party.
Our neighbours are not far behind in this context. Pakistan,Bangladesh, Srilanka and Mayamar shares a history of being ruled by women.
Therefore prejudices should be kept aside.India is much open and fair as far as gender is concerned.Because our tradition to consider women as "DEVI" is still there. Therefore "DURGA" and "KALI" in India has there due place.
