Can India become a better place for women?
More women than ever are voting in the world鈥檚 biggest democracy.
The biggest democratic event in the history of the world is under way in India with hundreds of millions of people voting in the country鈥檚 general election. We鈥檒l find out on the 23rd of May whether the Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been re-elected. He鈥檚 a polarising figure, loved and loathed in equal measure, who plays on his machismo. Women have had the vote since India gained Independence but last year the country was rated the most dangerous place for women in a controversial survey. Now for the first time they are being treated as a real constituency. We speak to Poonam Joshni, a women鈥檚 rights activist, and to Divya Arya, the women鈥檚 affairs correspondent for the 成人快手 in Delhi.
