Abstract	The involvement of women in the Indian independence movement and the subsequent endowment of equal political entitlements in the Indian Constitution underscore the pivotal role of women in shaping the political landscape of India. The research design involves a thorough examination of the factors influencing women's political engagement in India, drawing on existing literature, electoral data, and statistical analyses. The study considers the impact of electoral reforms, such as reserving seats for women, as well as the role of political parties and civil society initiatives in fostering gender equality and diversity in politics. The study reveals a significant increase in women's participation in Indian politics over time, particularly in voluntary voting and their impact on economic performance as lawmakers. The findings underscore the importance of enhancing women's political participation for the creation of a more inclusive and democratic society.
