A Nation Would Not March Forward, If The Women Are Left Behind.” – Swami Vivekananda.
Democratic decentralisation plays important role in the political participation of the citizens in the country. It makes a chance to participate in the political system of the men and women in a state and in entire India. On the other hand for the success of democratic decentralisation political participation of men and women of all communities is also essential. In this article I focus on the political participation of women in the state of West Bengal. Because we know that in this state women are not so much politically conscious because of some reasons. But their political consciousness is essential for the development of the state and nation. In this article I find out various causes for the less consciousness of women in the political participation and some remedies specially in the state of West Bengal.
