Brulé Discusses Gender Inequality in India on Grand Tamasha
Rachel Brulé, Assistant Professor of Global Development Policy at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, appeared on the Grand Tamasha podcast to discuss gender inequality in India and the effectiveness of gender quotas in India’s government.
During the episode, Brulé and host Milan Vaishnav discussed Indian gender quotas in local government, social and political economic hierarchies, as well as other topics explored in Brulé’s latest book Women, Power and Property: The Paradox of Gender Inequality Laws in India. The two also discuss Women’s Reservation Bill, a long-pending bill that would reserve one-third of parliamentary and state assembly seats in India for women.
