Smt. Vasundhara Raje kisses success in Politics

It is a bitter truth that Politics, for long, has been male dominated and it’s not very easy for any woman to make her mark or presence felt in the Indian political arena. If we talk about a country like India, it becomes even more difficult for any female politicians as religion, caste and creed along with gender play a decisive role in the Indian political environment.

It’s true that most of the successful women politicians in our country owe their success to their family’s strong political background, as is the fact that nobody can deny them the credit for putting in tremendous hard work and carving a separate position for themselves.
