Men Without Women: Powerplay of Patriarchy and Politics

India, being a democratic country follows the principle of “ Government Of the people, For the People, and By the people”. Indian political system is such that it is elected by all the sections of society but doesn't comprise all diverse sections such as minorities, women, entrepreneurs, etc, equally. According to political scientist Carole Pateman, patriarchy refers to "The patriarchal construction of the difference between masculinity and femininity that is the political difference between freedom and subjection."Women comprise 50% of the population of India, and their non-participation in significant positions specifically in politics can gender-inclusive policies, programs, etc as a result it is necessary to take steps towards ensuring equal representation of women at the political front that will open the door for several opportunities for women as shift can be seen from data released by Election Commission of India for the current elections of 5 states in India that show a surge in women voter ratio that depicts that women are not only shedding the shackles of patriarchy but keeping their front foot in important decision making that will decide the future of our country.

Merry does not quite gel with Christmas this year, but Christmas is, indeed, a time to wish for peace.

In a year in which war wracks Palestine, in a corner of which is situated Bethlehem, believed to be the birthplace of Christ, merry and Christmas do not quite gel together. Peace on earth, goodwill to all – goes another epiphany, long associated with Christmas. That is probably more apposite this year.
