Subject: Polity
Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth
Embodied in Articles 14–16 (equality before law, prohibition of discrimination), Directive Principles on equal pay for equal work, and protective labor legislation. Reservations in local bodies (Panchayats, Municipalities) ensure women’s political empowerment. The Supreme Court has recognized sexual harassment at workplaces as a rights violation (Vishakha guidelines). Efforts to pass the Women’s Reservation Bill in Parliament reflect continuing reforms. Despite constitutional mandates, societal structures—patriarchy, lack of literacy, safety concerns—impede progress. The National Commission for Women, specialized laws (Dowry Prohibition, Domestic Violence Act), and educational policies collectively seek to realize the constitutional promise of gender equity.
