India&#8217;s conservative movement discovered a new momentum with the arrival of the BJP in 2014.

But India&#8217;s electoral past can be seen from the gender perspective as well, emphasizing modern India and the BJP&#8217;s ongoing attempts to engage women. It analyzes how India&#8217;s leading right-wing ruling party has effectively integrated women into political arenas by promoting a political agenda centered around the ethical idea of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">seva<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, or selfless service. This approach, along with others, has, in a brief timeframe, contributed to turning around the party\u2019s long-standing shortfall with women.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Well another study says that more and more women are coming into the political space, practising their rights. All this is because of education and a better understanding of politics, but nobody talks about how political leaders from the BJP often end up giving misogynist claims. Even some states governed by BJP end up in headlines for mismanagement of rape cases.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But despite all this Why are Women voting for BJP now ?<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How did this happen ?<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We say \u201cBehind every successful man, there is a woman\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Is this the reason Narendra Modi is getting all his votes?\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left\"><b>Twist of Fate: Women&#8217;s Political Involvement<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">On a global scale, the political arena has predominantly been a male domain, with women lagging behind in electoral participation, candidacy, activism, and overall involvement. The nations labelled as \u201cfirst-wave democracies\u201d (1828\u20131926) {such as the US, France, Britain}, democratic growth resulted in the extension of voting rights to white men, excluding women. Consequently, women encountered countless tough struggles to attain their voting rights, making suffrage movements an essential initial phase in women&#8217;s activism.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-158911 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_10YT_Past_Forward_2._2_1_U8A4034O.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"757\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_10YT_Past_Forward_2._2_1_U8A4034O.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_10YT_Past_Forward_2._2_1_U8A4034O-300x189.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_10YT_Past_Forward_2._2_1_U8A4034O-1024x646.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_10YT_Past_Forward_2._2_1_U8A4034O-768x484.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_10YT_Past_Forward_2._2_1_U8A4034O-450x284.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_10YT_Past_Forward_2._2_1_U8A4034O-951x600.jpg 951w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In India, on the other hand, universal adult suffrage was established in the constitution and guaranteed political equality for women right after India\u2019s independence in 1947. Unfortunately, 2.8 million Indian women were left out of the rolls, because they refused to disclose their names. This was seen as a huge and powerful step taken by a newly independent nation like India in comparison to the rest of the world. However, personal experience has not consistently reflected that expected equality.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For example, in terms of voting, the turnout for women was notably less than that of men. In the 1962 elections, the initial election where voter information was separated by gender, merely 47 percent of qualified women voters participated, compared to a notable 63 percent of men. Additionally, even when women participated in voting, they were often swayed or even guided by male of their families. Lack of education and involvement in politics was the reason women had to ask their male counterparts for political opinions. If they had no advice, they would abstain themselves from voting. For example, survey data from the 1996 national elections showed that 86 percent of women considered their families\u2019 guidance when deciding how to vote.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Women Turnout in BJP<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-158915 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Spotlight_Women_loves_Modi__1__1200x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Spotlight_Women_loves_Modi__1__1200x768.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Spotlight_Women_loves_Modi__1__1200x768-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Spotlight_Women_loves_Modi__1__1200x768-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Spotlight_Women_loves_Modi__1__1200x768-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Spotlight_Women_loves_Modi__1__1200x768-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Spotlight_Women_loves_Modi__1__1200x768-1067x600.jpg 1067w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">BJP has surely achieved some success in rallying women, and the other parties have not given up either. The favored strategy of almost all groups, including the BJP, to attract the women\u2019s vote has primarily been through focused \u201cpro-women\u201d initiatives. The list of these initiatives is extensive; it comprises the Janata Dal (United)\u2019s enforcement of Alcohol Prohibition in Bihar, the All India Trinamool Congress\u2019s Kanyashree conditional cash transfer initiative, and the BJP\u2019s Ladli Behna unconditional cash transfer (in Madhya Pradesh) and nationwide Ujjwala gas cylinder subsidy. In rural areas women who are a part of any Self Help Group, are provided with micro financing under the Mahila Samridhi Yojana. However, there is scant evidence regarding the effectiveness of any specific welfare program, as rival parties frequently make comparable promises.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Furthermore, parties encounter challenges in conveying these policy platforms to women due to differences in political understanding, connections, and socialization. To close this divide, it is essential to invest in a group of activists who can connect with and rally women through direct interaction. Well, this was done by BJP with the help of Sapiens Research, a multi-functional and mobilisation organization to find solutions for socio-political issues. This organisation was founded by Rimjhim Gour. They worked for BJP in 2023 in Madhya Pradesh. Her organisation took women to various workshops, where they were taught about the functioning of poll booths. This really brought a larger democratic impact in the state, BJP won and Mohan Yadav became the Chief Minister of the state.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Although such investments can yield benefits for everyone involved, it is especially vital for political parties like BJP in this case, whose achievements depend solely on electoral victories. But this initiative showed women that they can also vote, and choose people according to their wishes. This has two implications, first it creates a wider backing for BJP\u2019s cultural and ideological aims and secondly, now that women are educated about their voting rights, their representative, they can change him\/her the next tenure, if work is done at satisfactory levels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In this context, the BJP\u2019s strong connection to Hindutva is frequently viewed as an assertive expression of religious nationalism, which could appear contradictory to the party\u2019s growing achievements in attracting women. According to the Centre for the Study of Developing Societies women&#8217;s attraction to the BJP goes beyond simple voting choices. Even though Hindutva is linked to masculine imagery, women who back the BJP show engagement in electoral activities that is on par with or even exceeds that of women affiliated with other political parties. In recent times, this pattern has become more evident, with BJP surpassing its competitors in engaging female backers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Taming Politics Through Service<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To grasp why the BJP effectively engages women voters, it is essential to recognize the obstacles that women encounter in participating in politics. A significant barrier is the common view of politics as corrupt and unethical, which renders it especially inappropriate for women. This belief is deeply rooted in patriarchal societies, where women frequently bear the responsibility of maintaining family honor and social standing. As a result, any departure that women pursue from conventional standards may result in reputational repercussions for themselves and social repercussions for their families, leading household leaders to restrict women\u2019s political participation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-158917 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/6000.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/6000.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/6000-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/6000-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/6000-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/6000-450x338.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/6000-800x600.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, concurrently, when Indians are questioned about the essence of politics, an alternate narrative surfaces\u2014one focused on ethical values grounded in the principle of seva, or selfless service. In this context, seva signifies not just the tangible supply of goods and services but also reflects qualities that citizens seek in their leaders\u2014being approachable to constituents, understanding their needs, and assisting them during challenging times.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Vote Bank or Women Empowerment ?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-158906 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/BL0701VOTERS.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"749\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/BL0701VOTERS.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/BL0701VOTERS-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/BL0701VOTERS-1024x639.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/BL0701VOTERS-768x479.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/BL0701VOTERS-450x281.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/BL0701VOTERS-961x600.jpg 961w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One should not forget that BJP is creating a separate vote bank of Indian women in the name of women empowerment. After 2014, the crimes against women have increased. The overall number of crimes against women per one hundred thousand of population have increased from 56.3 in 2014 to 66.4 in 2022. The rise in violence towards women highlights not only a profound patriarchal prejudice but also a complete institutional breakdown.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-158916 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/816.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1632\" height=\"1186\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/816.jpg 1632w, https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/816-300x218.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/816-1024x744.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/816-768x558.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/816-1536x1116.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/816-450x327.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/816-826x600.jpg 826w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1632px) 100vw, 1632px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">On an occasion, we have observed the BJP standing up for and safeguarding individuals charged with committing violence against women. For instance, Smriti Irani, the union minister for women and child development, disgracefully criticized victims who openly identify their abusers, claiming they are \u201cdefaming\u201d the government after the Kathua Rape Case, Jammu and Kashmir.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Evidently, the culture of impunity has become increasingly established, especially among individuals close to the ruling elites and from dominant castes and communities or other influential societal roles. During the past ten years of Modi&#8217;s administration, there have been many troubling cases of sexual violence, with a significant number affecting women from marginalized groups and those in economically precarious situations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Well, there is no clear reason why more and more women are voting for BJP (Modi), whatever it is it will fade very soon. It should also be seen that Narendra Modi\u2019s appeal is costing India a large number of difficulties, which might outlast his tenure. This is the time when unemployment is rising, fuel prices are going up, inflation is touching skies, crimes against women but the only thing BJP supporters are holding together is their religious identities. It is no surprise that if communal unrest escalates and the economy remains mired in difficulties, it would be the women managing the household who would rise against him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The recent Assembly Election in February 2025 in Delhi showed us that the numbers of female voters were more than the male voters.
