Political Inclusion and Schedule Tribe Women: A Case Study in Karnataka

Dr. Nagaraja. S, Dr. Pallavi. S. Kusugal

Abstract :

The ‘Inclusion of the marginalized groups in local governance’ has been a serious problem in our society. ‘Inclusion’ in this framework means the inclusion of the marginalized sections – Women, Dalit and tribal’s in local governance. However, ‘inclusion’ cannot be understood, without having any reference to ‘exclusion’. The Indian Constitution has been committed to introduce socio–economic and political transformation. The initiatives of empowering women and the marginalized sections are the reflection of its democratic spirit that can be noticed from a number of amendments in these fields. The 73rd Constitutional Amendment Act is an important landmark in the history of Indian women’s participation in the formation of democratic institutions at grassroots level. The most significant aspect is that the gender representation in the decision–making has been taken into account. Hence, this paper examines the Schedule Tribe Women and their Political Inclusion through Panchayat Raj Institutions (PRIs), a case study in Karnataka.
