Abstract
Gender inequality remains a pervasive issue in political arenas globally, affecting the representation and participation of women. This research paper delves into the concept of "political glass ceilings" within the contemporary Indian context, examining the multifaceted barriers that hinder women from achieving equal political engagement and leadership roles. It explores historical, socio-cultural, and institutional factors contributing to these barriers, assesses the effectiveness of existing policies and initiatives, and proposes strategies for overcoming these challenges. The paper concludes with recommendations aimed at promoting gender parity and enhancing women's political empowerment in India.
