Due to some stereotype social and periodic ideological differences, Indian women have been facing massive discrimination from various social, economic and gender perspectives. These inequalities are still being continued by Indian society at various levels. Gender inequality is one of the crucial among different types of discriminations. Women have been facing a lot of discrimination in India for decades. Many great souls have tried to bridge this gender gap through their efforts during classical and modern times. Political representation is one of the significant current attempts to bridge the gender inequalities in contemporary India and world at large. Women's political expression was considered unacceptable by politicians once, but, in the 21st century, the days have changed due to many developments. Now society cannot move further without women's involvement in the root cause issues of the community. Politics is one of the prime factors in these issues. Now many powerful institutions and organizations have been encouraging women in politics actively. There is no doubt that the international women's movements have shown an immersive effect on these developments. As a result, women's representation gradually increased across political institutions. Women's representation in the Indian parliament is a fundamental metric to bridge the gender inequalities in the country. India has the most significant female population, 662.9, in the most resilient parliamentary democracy in the world. It compares women's representation level and their share in the lower levels. It argues for the institutional transformation of women in political activities. This paper opens the imperative of gender equality and political representation in national and international legislatures and constitutional and legal obligations at various levels to achieve gender equality by underlining. After that, this paper discusses the patterns of women's representation and compensation for their share in seats in state legislatures and self-governments since independence.
