Explanation:

First local effort was made in Madras, which granted women’s suffrage in 1921, but only to those men and women who owned land property according to British administration's records. This was neither Universal nor equitable. In 1950, universal suffrage granted voting rights to all women. This is enshrined in Article 326 in our constitution.
