Discover The Teachings Of The Extraordinary Woman And Leader: Sushma Swaraj

Only 78 of the 543 seats, 14% of all MPs, in the Indian Lok Sabha’s current membership, are held by women. Although India has struggled with gender parity and inequality issues since before Independence, several women political leaders have defied all odds and set the stage for other aspiring leaders to follow in their footsteps. However, this glaring lack of representation of women in politics is not new.

The late Sushma Swaraj is one outstanding female leader who stands out. She was referred to as the “Iron Lady of India,” and everyone admired and adored her for her imposing persona, tenacity, and desire to help others. So, let’s investigate Sushma Swaraj’s life and leadership principles in this article.

Regarding Sushma Swaraj

Hardev Sharma and Shrimati Laxmi Devi welcomed Sushma Swaraj into the world in Haryana in February 1952. She was a dynamic speaker and leader who attended Sanatan Dharma College in Haryana to study Sanskrit and Political Science before attending Panjab University to study law. She was highly involved in student politics all through college. She was well-known for organizing several student demonstrations during the Emergency in India and her involvement in the 1970s Revolution.

 Sushma Swaraj, who started her legal career as an advocate in the Indian Supreme Court and later joined the defense team of socialist leader George Fernandes, was also a successful attorney. Sushma Swaraj, a vigorous opponent of the Emergency, ran in the Haryana state elections as a candidate of the Janata Party. She was a member of the Legislative Assembly from 1977 to 1982 and then again from 1987 to 1990.

She was in charge of several vital ministries as an MLA and an influential party leader, including Social Welfare, Labor, Employment, Education, Food, and Civil Supplies. She eventually attained one of the most male-dominated positions in India: Minister of External Affairs, from 2014 to 2019. However, her commitment, intelligence, and diligence ultimately got her there. After Indira Gandhi, Swaraj was the only woman to hold this esteemed post.

Instructions From Sushma Swaraj

One can learn a lot from the late Sushma Swaraj; there is no shortage. Sushma Swaraj is a pioneer in the development, and her journey is one of triumph and motivation.

Decision

 Sushma Swaraj followed in her father’s footsteps by studying law and continuing to be a politically engaged student leader with Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP). She didn’t come from a well-connected political family, yet she became the youngest cabinet minister in Haryana at 25.

 She later held influential roles throughout her illustrious political career. In 1979, she was elected as the Janata Party’s state president and in 1990, she was elected to the Rajya Sabha. She was the first female Chief Minister of Delhi and the Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting. She attained great heights thanks to her tenacity and devotion to the political cause. Her ability to handle the political environment made her such an influential leader, and she never dropped back from a confrontation.

Management

Sushma Swaraj’s final remarks at the 73rd United Nations General Assembly in 2018 were, “Tomorrow might be too late.” These remarks perfectly describe the late politician’s character. She had demonstrated her ability to take control in various ways, such as when she televised Lok Sabha debates as Minister of Information and Broadcasting to increase transparency. One of the most followed Indian politicians, Swaraj, amassed approximately 13 million followers on Twitter while serving as the External Affairs Minister.

Being Able to Innovate

Sushma Swaraj’s imposing social presence was a tribute to her capacity for self-reinvention. She had the insight and know-how to establish a social presence and use the platform to connect with millions of people. Because of her wisdom, she became not just well-liked but also one of India’s most accessible politicians. Since then, several leaders and elected officials have imitated her. One of the things one can take from Mrs. Swaraj is the prolific use of social media platforms to benefit the populace and our nation.

Sushma Swaraj’s capacity for joy in life and work was a testament to how much she valued her job and profession. Her employment was not a burden to her, but it was something she took pride in. One of the most important lessons from her life is the capacity to appreciate life and the job thoroughly.

Sushma Swaraj has had a contentious political career, like many other politicians. But, even if you disagree with many of her views and ideologies, she has been a leader with charisma, influence, and tact.
