Explanation
★The statement that does not indicate a gendered deepening of democracy is the third, women from the upper caste carrying out a silent revolution.
★Gendering politics deepens democracy when women act as a collective, voice their concerns and enter the public sphere.
★Women participating as a community or group reflects exactly such collective political agency.
★Articulating the political voice of women and entering the public sphere both widen democratic participation.
★Confining change to upper-caste women, framed as a silent revolution, narrows rather than deepens democratic inclusion.
★Spot the odd statement here: an upper-caste silent revolution is the one that does not signal a gendered deepening of democracy.
