Women Being in Power and Their Political Participation at the Primary Level in South Asia

　　Abstract: South Asia has seen quite a few women politicians being in power since 1960s. Clan politics evolved from the hierarchical local culture and goddess worship are the noticeable important attributes. Women in South Asian countries have so far no strong sense in participating in government and political affairs though the fact that women can be in charge of government affairs illustrates the significance for women’s political participation at the primary level and has positive influence on women’s movements and extensive women political participation.
