The Rise

It is to be noted that how the governance and policy making happens to enhance the conditions of women and Dalits in our nation by upper class men and no wonder why most of these policies end up being pushed aside as third world feminism and also to be added that how we are constantly letting first world feminist solutions seep into our issues which need representation before agency. Also, to remember reading and learning about madam murmur when she was significantly not talked enough about in the mainstream media, almost five months ago.

her nomination itself is a moment of victory, her name being called out aloud itself is a sign that you can't seclude women of valour from politics no more. This is a happy growth from the core. this should be celebrated by us the way we celebrated kamala harris, this is in-house, this is revolutionary in its own kind. this is as important as the existence of republic of India

 

Murmu served as the BJP's deputy president before becoming the Scheduled Tribe Morcha's president in Odisha. She was re-elected in 2013 to serve as the district president of the BJP's Mayurbhanj (West) unit. In the same year, she was also elected to the BJP National Executive (ST Morcha).

The opponent, former Union Minister Yashwant Sinha, will compete against Ms. Murmu. If chosen, Ms. Murmu will become India's first tribal woman president and start a new era in political fraternity. It should be emphasised that although the news and portrayal have consistently favoured one candidate over the other based on their background, it is the promised activities to be carried out and the candidate's future acts that would maintain our country's democracy.
