  Woman power   in Lok Sabha 
  Mrs.Pratibha Patil India's first women President  of India took oath on the July 25, 2007. Pratibha Patil boasts of being the fist woman Ex-President of India.
  Sonia Gandhi is the president of the ruling Congress as also the chairperson of the UPA, the alliance that runs the government. UPA  Chairperson Sonia Gandhi has created a record of the longest tenure of 12 long years as Congress President in the 125 year history of the organisation.
  Mrs.Meira Kumar India's first women Lok Sabha Speaker   in the  Lok Sabha 2009 selected as  Speaker. 
  Sushma Swaraj has completed a year as the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha. Sushma Swaraj was also Delhi Chief Minister for four months. Thus woman power is in full display as the top posts in the country's constitutional and political arena are now being held by the fairer sex. 
  Mamta Banerjee of Trinamool Congress, whose party with 19 members is the second largest in the ruling alliancem,  ends 34 years of Left rule in West Bengal. is the now Chief Minister of West Bengal,
   There are several woman ministers in the Union Council, including Ambika Soni, Kumari Selja, D Purandeshwari, Krishna Tirath, Panabaka Lakshmi and Praneet Kaur, among 59 women member of Lok sbaha this time.
  Agatha Sangma (28) is the 'baby' of the cabinet while Meira Kumar herself was a cabinet minister till last week. 
  Among the leading lights of the opposition are Sushma Swaraj of BJP as also Sumitra Mahajan. Jaya Prada of SP has literally fought her way to the Lok Sabha for the second time. 
  The first-timers include Shruti Chaudhury, Jyoti Mirdha, Mausam Noor  and Anu Tandon (all Congress), Supriya Sule (NCP) and Shatabdi Roy (Trinamool).
 
First time four women CMs of India
  With Mamata Banerjee and J Jayalalithaa set to capture power in West Bengal and Tamil Nadu respectively, India could for the first time boast of four women Chief Ministers. Shiela Dikshit of Delhi has the distinction of the longest serving woman Chief Minister in post-independent India having been at the helm of affairs for the past 12 years. BSP Supremo Mayawati has singlehandedly secured power in the largest state of Uttar Pradesh four years back and her victory at that time was seen as a defining moment in Indian politics. Mayaawati defeated in  the state Assembly poll held in 2012. 
  Mamata Benerjee emerged as the 'giant killer' for ending the 34-year-old Left front rule in West Bengal on the single plank of doing away with the 'misrule' of Marxists. It was a 'Mamata wave' that swept away the Left rule in West Bengal as the Trinamool Congress leader, who floated the party after parting ways with Congress, showed that she alone was the staunch opponent of the CPI(M).
  Jayalalithaa was out for the last five years in Tamil Nadu as also at the Centre, had her sweet revenge on Karunanidhi's DMK  despite setbacks in the last two Lok Sabha polls and would be ruling the state for the next five years. Jayalalithaa's single point campaign plank was to end the "family rule" of the DMK in the backdrop of the 2G spectrum allocation scam. 
  Mayawati has been thrice Chief Minister of UP from the nineties onwards but at that time her BSP was in alliance-once with the SP and twice with the BJP.

   Sunita L. Williams
  Sunita L. Williams made history when she became the second woman of Indian origin after Kalpana Chawla to walk in space.  It was the culmination of a long journey for Sunita after being selected by NASA in June 1998 for a space mission as a flight engineer on the International Space Station. After six years of training, Sunita took off on the space shuttle Discovery on December 9, 2006 and now second time in space for about 6 months.
  Sunita started off her career as a helicopters and aeroplane pilot, and applied to NASA after logging in 2,770 hours in the cockpits of as many as 30 different aircraft. Born to a Gujarati father, Dr Deepak Pandya and Bonnie, of Yugoslavian descent, Sunita is proud of her Indian roots. She took along with her an idol of Ganesha, a copy of the Bhagavad Gita and samosas to eat in space. An animal lover, Sunita says she would have been a veterinarian if she hadn’t become an astronaut.
  
Sania Mirza
  Sania Mirza has ventured where no Indian woman had gone before. She planted herself firmly in the annals of Indian sporting history when she became the first Indian woman to win a WTA singles title at the Hyderabad Open in 2005. The same year, she also became the first Indian woman to reach the fourth round of a Grand Slam Tournament at the US Open. Today, Sania is among the Top 50 woman tennis players in the world - yet another first for an Indian woman.
   Sania had an early start in competitive tennis, picking up a tennis racquet at the age of six. She turned pro at the tender age of 13, and hasn’t looked back since. Sania is the ultimate poster girl of the Indian media. She is admired for daring to be different, wearing her attitude on her sleeve. She’s often seen in T-shirts with lines that say “I’m cute, no shit”, “Well-behaved women rarely make history”, and “You either agree with me or you’re wrong”.
   Her greatest inspiration, she says, is when a girl comes to her and says “I picked up a tennis racquet because of you”. She’s certainly an inspiration for any Indian girl
