Therefore, it is incongruous to mistrust males just because they belong to the opposite gender. the middle class urban women try to emulate the Western world, without giving any thought to its necessity or relevance in the Indian context. they fail to recognise that India was ahead of most developed countries in granting equal rights and privileges to women in politics. This view has been supported by others who feel that women, in general, have greater distaste for politics as compared to men, which are the reasons for lower turnout of the female voters. the paper concludes that the visionary viewpoint of the male representatives regarding women empowerment through reservation in PRIs. Strengthened the very idea that provision of reservation will lead to political empowerment of women and will also go a long way in reducing the male domination in the arena of politics. - Reproduced.  aWomen in politics - India - Himachal Pradesh  aLeadership - India - Himachal Pradesh  aPanchayat - India - Himachal Pradesh  aPanchayat  aSharma, Puja  aSharma, R.K.  aIndian Journal of Public Administration  aN  a75095  c75095d75095  00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-07-19hVolume no: 53, Issue no: 2pAR75555r2018-07-19w2018-07-19yAR
