Ruhi Tiwari, a journalist and author specializing in gender and electoral politics, joins Rajeshwari Deshpande, a Political Science professor with expertise in women's voting behavior. They discuss how welfare measures targeted at women, like cash transfers, are shaping electoral decisions. The conversation highlights the diversity among women voters, influenced by caste and class, and the paradox of celebrating their enfranchisement while facing systemic exclusion. Ultimately, they argue that women are becoming crucial in elections but remain part of a complex political landscape.
