Reservation and Women’s Political Freedom: Candidates’ Experience from Three Gram Panchayats in Kerala, India

---

Abstract.
Based on the capability approach, this article tries to see the implications of reservation
policy on the political freedom of women in Kerala. Using a primary survey
of candidates in a recent panchayat election in Malappuram district of Kerala it
establishes the role of reservation in bringing many educated young women into
local politics and decision-making bodies. It also reflects on the role of party and
non-party forces such as family and religion in local politics and political freedom
of women. The article concludes that the new reservation has resulted in improving
the constitutive political freedom of educated-young women in Kerala, but the
instrumental political freedom resulted from reservation has not been as evident.

Keywords: Political freedom, women’s reservation, capabilities, Kerala, panchayats
