According to me this research is very important because it helps in understanding current
situation of Indian Muslim woman in the country. This article helps in providing well established
background on the topic of how media impact the role of Muslim women in electoral politics in
India. Without analysing the current situation of Islam it is useless to make any perception
because it provide incomplete view. Currently media primary focus on Kashmir due to political
controversies. Indian Muslim organization (Jamaat) support Indian women for Talaq cases and
maintain it's related clause.

Purpose of this research is to measure political participation of Muslim women in India,
here they get Islamic as well as political rights such as voting rights, being part of politics and
various legislation or regulation for Muslim women. Author observed that, now women received
their rights equally and media helps in spreading awareness across the country regarding this
issues. In my point of view, media is good platform to develop awareness regarding any social
issue or improve any community condition in the nation. This paper helps me to understand the
relationship between media influence the role of women in politics.

Due to lack of information or knowledge affect the women to claim their political rights.
In this paper, degree of women participation helps in decision making process in context of
politics. It is very important or hot topic in India as well as median will helps in spreading
awareness among the people. In my point of view, media is great influencer specially in context
of Muslim women because large number of people still does not have any idea regarding their
rights. So society or some people take advantage of it and dominate Muslim women.

In context of evidence, model and approaches, various authors discussed about the
participation of Muslim women in India and how it further impact the whole society. According
1

to me use of media is deliberative democracy because it helps the country to aware about their
social issues and problems. Authors use primary research methodology where they collect
information from 40 Villegas and analyse the impact over critical information.

In this research paper there are lots of disagreement regarding nature of the problem. As
per my point of view, I analyse that some authors argue or debate over women empowerment.
But according to me, social or economic situation of minority people will improve because of
their involvement in the politics. There are various research paper published which are in favour
as well as disagree with the statement that media helps the Indian Muslin females to recognise
their rights regarding politics.
This research parer help me to understand media influence, role of Muslim women in
Indian and their knowledge regarding their rights in the politics. It helps in taking better decision
in context of Muslim community where they need to aware whole country regarding their rights.
So other people not able to dominant these women because if lack of knowledge about their
rights.
