In Pictures: Stylish Women in Indian Politics

For a country that eats, breathes and lives politics, politicians are more than mere representatives of the people. They have attained somewhat of celebrity status, with many achieving cults following as well. For a country that will dedicatedly glue themselves in front of television sets or walk down in hundreds to watch their favourite politician speak, sartorial choices, apart from one's oratory prowess, become equally important. While much has been dedicated to Sashi Tharoor's suave sense of style or Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Jacket, not much is spoken about the women who represent India at the parliament. From donning impeccable suits to glorious six yards, or making a style statement with the colours they wear, the women in Indian politics have evolved their own couture style as well.
