In the present paper the authors attempt to find out the political participation of Muslim Women vis-à-vis Muslim Men in the state of Uttar Pradesh and juxtaposed with the quantum of rights given to each, and the resultant position in the present scenario. A field study was conducted with a sample of 1200 Muslims drawn from across the state of U.P. The role of gender was analysed with various dimensions of political behaviour. The authors found a persistent pattern of male / female difference in political activity. Owing partially to unequal socio-economic resources available to them, their indifference to politics and their psychologically non-involvement. The psychological involvement of women in politics is minimal. The concerned for politics among women is not converted into political activity. In spite of all the rights and injunctions, when it comes to politics and political participation among Muslims, the women folks are made to play second fiddle.Keywords

Political trust and Political Efficacy are considered to be the key indicators of measuring the health of the democratic system. The positive growth of these parameters of general political attitude is an indication of popular trust and belief in the system and the stability and efficacious nature of our governments in responding to popular demands. On the contrary, its fall indicates powerlessness and cynicism among the people that can be instrumental in dismantling of established political order. In the present world order especially in developing countries like India, the phenomenon of corruption is one of the anomalies- a dysfunction- that threatens to wreck into shreds the very fabric of democratic system that we cherish with so much fervor and vigor. In the present empirical study the authors investigate the impact of corruption on these barometers of democratic health. A survey was conducted in the western region of the largest state of India, i.e. Uttar Pradesh. In all 500 samples were collected randomly under stratified sampling technique. Prior to interview survey questionnaire technique, five categories were made on the basis of people's income level, educational attainment, religious affinities, region- rural/ urban, sex and mass media exposure. The authors found that the corruption is inversely related to political trust and political efficacy. Wherever people are exposed to less corrupt practices, they have shown a greater degree of trust in the system and its efficacy in delivering goods to them. In instances where corruption is more prevalent- whether electoral related or otherwise- people are less forthcoming in showing interest in political participation.Keywords
