It was very difficult for women to rule in those days. It was a purely maledominated society. So the men did not like to be ruled by a woman. But nowadays it is different. Even though it is a male-dominated society, the politicians are giving importance to some family persons like the ‘Nehru’ family. So the women rulers like Smt. Indira Gandhi ruled the nation for several years and Smt. Sonia Gandhi is leading the National Congress Party.
