Abstract: In India, leadership has always been male dominated since ancient times, irrespective of the form of the system, whether it is monarchy, dictatorship, aristocratic system or modern democratic system, it is clear that in any country of the world, national leadership has mostly been in the hands of men. After independence, in India, except for the tenure of Mrs. Indira Gandhi, national leadership has been run by men in the last 70 years. Today, from Panchayat to Parliament, power is in the hands of men in most of the states of India as Chief Minister. At the national level, the Prime Minister and the main members of the cabinet are men. Whenever it comes to leadership, from 2000 till today, all the national parties have advocated 33 percent reservation for women in Parliament many times.Political participation For all types of systems prevalent at present, including the democratic system, political participation is important. For its permanent basis and strength, it is necessary to have political participation. In its absence, the success of the democratic system can be questioned. That is, the basis of the democratic governance system is participation. Because it is run by the people. In the 20th century, all political systems, whether authoritarian or democratic, conservative or reactionary, give their citizens the right to participate in politics and encourage them to do so. Because the more political participation expands, the more stable, popular and powerful the system will be. In India, after the 1980s, most of the time mid-term elections have weakened India's parliamentary democratic system. Because whether it is a state or a centre, where there is a coalition government, the political system remains weak and temporary. Because the percentage of public participation is weak there.
