Answer

Challenges to free and fair elections in India are as follows:

Candidates and parties with a lot of money may not be sure of their victory but they do enjoy a big and unfair advantage over smaller parties and independents.
In some parts of the country, candidates with criminal connection have been able to secure a ‘ticket’ from major parties.
Some families tend to dominate the political parties; tickets are distributed to relatives from these families.
Very often, elections offer little choice to ordinary citizens as both the major parties are similar to each other in their policies and practices.
Smaller parties and independent candidates suffer a huge disadvantage as compared to the bigger parties.

Woman is born free and remains equal to man in rights.
The goal of all political associations is the preservation of the natural rights of woman and man: These rights are liberty, property, security, and above all resistance to oppression.
The source of all sovereignty resides in the nation, which is nothing but the union of woman and man.
The law should be the expression of the general will; all female and male citizens should have a say either personally or by their representatives in its formulation; it should be the same for all. All female and male citizens are equally entitled to all honours and public employment according to their abilities and without any other distinction than that of their talents.
No woman is an exception; she is accused, arrested, and detained in cases determined by law. Women, like men, obey this rigorous law.
