Abstract	Indian women are continuously fighting for their rights since ancient time. The status of women in Indian society is full of ups and downs. It is well known that women actively participated in India’s freedom struggle. Moreover in Constituent Assembly of India as well, women members played an important role in developing our constitution. Equal political rights were given to all citizens in the constitution, but the illiteracy, poverty, traditional patriarchal structure during that era were some of the big challenges that restricted women to enter in the public sphere. Nevertheless, from independence to the present, women have achieved success through their continuous struggle in the sphere of politics, but much remains to be achieved. Step by step, steady progress by women in political, social, economical and cultural fields is important steps towards developing inclusive democratic system in India.
