Though women were given equal status on par with men as citizens, keeping in view the special disabilities, Article 15(3) of the Indian Constitution also empowers the states to make any `special provision for women and children i even in violation of the fundamental obligations of non-discrimination among citizens, inter- alia of sex. Although independent India promised equality of opportunities to women in all spheres, women, especially in the political sphere are laying behind. It is well known that women around the world have not gained equal status with men especially in the political sphere because of male domination ii . The low political status of women through out the world had led to the emphasis on `political empowerment of women’. That political empowerment would be useful to achieve women’s empowerment in general has been accepted widely. Absence of political empowerment to women is also one of the main factors for the various problems that women are facing today.
