Women in politics

There is a silent change happening in Indian political landscape. There are requests and agitations to have 33% women reservation bill introduced but women who hail from ordinary middle class families are ascending to power in Indian politics. Every party is doing this

Yesterday's announcement of Dr.Tamilisai Soundararajan as governor of Telangana was a pleasant surprise( understand even for her). Though she is hailing from a family which has deep roots in Congress she chose to trudge less beaten track. Yes Chose BJP 3 decades ago when Congress was a mighty political party. She could have easily ascended with her family legacy but she didnt.
She took charge of TN BJP 4 years go through her perseverance she had developed a  vote bank for the party. She was villified on many accounts including her appearance which she sportingly took with a smile. She took everything on her stride.

A decade ago no one would have thought of defeating Mr.Rahul Gandhi in his own turf which is held by his family for decades. But Ms.Smriti Irani proved its not impossible

Similarly Ms.Kushboo Sundar with her background of being dream girl in tinsel town entered politics & the national spokesperson of Congress does a great job

Recent talent found in parliament is Ms.Mahoua maitra who demolished the treasury benches with her speech

All these women hail from humble background & proved themselves in the male dominated not so easy political sphere.

This would give an impetus for aspiring women in politics.

Let more such tribe increase
