“Wrap it up, this final Lok Sabha session,” says Tara Krishnaswamy of the newly formed, non-partisan Indian Women’s Caucus spearheading a renewed effort to ensure gender-balanced representation in Parliament and state Legislative Assemblies.

Parties have lakhs of women as members, but rarely as decision-makers.
What should labour without a career ladder be termed?
