SHAZAD AHMAD

Published By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

Women play an active role in the guidance and consultation in politics and leadership. A number of examples are on the record of our history where women have been rulers or assisted the rulers in their affairs or have exhibited tremendous intellectual efforts for the reform and betterment of the society. These ladies bore enthusiasm for social uplift and high qualities of leadership, sincerity, intellect, courage and command. With their male colleagues, they stood hand in hand, to offer strong resistance against the British. Ms. Fatima Jinnah known as Madar-e-Millat (Mother of the Nation) who was the first lady to have inspired and organized the Muslim women for the struggle of freedom. At that stage, ladies of the elite, in particular, gave a solid helping hand to the men, in. their social and political efforts. After independence in 1947, these women formed bodies and organizations to establish platform where they cold exhibit their leadership qualities and opinion and where they could initiating work towards achievement of their objectives. Therefore, in this Paper I want to analyse that Pakistan was the only one country where women's played an important role in political participation and the largest percentage of women to take part in the parliament of Pakistan.
