2.

3. REFERENCE: The Book : DIDI : THE UNTOLD MAMATA BANERJEE By SHUTAPA PAUL

4. The book DIDI: The Untold Mamata Banerjee by Shutapa Paul It is a biography tracing the political journey of the firebrand leader. It has opened a window “to the life and time of one of the most dynamic politicians of our country”.

5. Introduction Mamata Banerjee is an Indian politician, legislator, and bureaucrat. The leader of the All India Trinamool Congress and the current chief minister of West Bengal. In 1997, she started the All India Trinamool Congress. She became West Bengal's first female chief minister in history. She is also known as "Didi”.

6. This is unexpected how the existence of strong female politicians like Mamata Banerjee frequently seems as a riddle or paradox. Mamata Banerjee is framed in this project within a larger context of power, gender, and political leadership in democratic India .

7. In addition to reshaping West Bengal politics, for better or worse, Mamata Banerjee has also enlarged the definition of female political leadership in some ways. Mamata Banerjee, who was born in Kolkata into a lower middle-class, non-political Bengali family, has built a political career almost entirely on her own.

8. July 31, 1992: Mamata Banerjee, president of the Youth Congress(I) and Union Minister of State for Youth Affairs and Sport, is trying to strike the Marxists where it hurts most: in the public's perception of their policies and the media representation of the woman the state's Marxists contemptuously refer to as "that girl." Other Congress(I) leaders have only been dreaming of such trouble for the Marxist government in West Bengal.

9. While kinship relationships are often important in the formation of female political leadership, India's democracy also has a number of female politicians who have established themselves as leaders without the benefit of kinship. Kinship language carries with it specific expectations for how female leaders should act and behave in addition to describing the personality and nature of female leaders. While family language limits and restricts the political space open to female politicians, sticking to and successfully using such gendered kinship tropes can raise a female leader's profile.

10. Mamata Banerjee's populist style of functioning has probably played a significant role in her enormous win in West Bengal's historic 2011 assembly election. Her victory has clearly proven that populism is no longer a minor phenomena in the political world. The two main perceptions of populism are that it is either a pathological political phenomena or that it is the most genuine form of political representation.

11. In The Shantiparva of Mahabharata, a discourse on statecraft conveyed by Bhishma to Yudhishthira which describes the functions, duties of a good king, both during normal times and a during period of emergency, signifies the importance of a welfare state. The duties of King considered as a servant of the people, who provide services to people. As Mamata Banerjee also serves the duties of the people in order to provide welfare to the state.

12. By introducing "the vernacular" into the highest levels of government, Mamata Banerjee has "pluralized" political leadership in West Bengal. This includes her attire, etiquette, language, and the imagery, symbolism, and idioms of kinship and popular religion that surround her character. The focus of this study is Mamata Banerjee's popular involvement with political asceticism, a form of power that continues to have influence over a number of competing political ideologies and cultural practises in India.

13. Kinship relations often play a significant part in the making of female political leadership, India’s democracy is also home to a number of female politicians including Mamata Banerjee who may be viewed as more or less politically self-made. Mamata Banerjee is not the only female political leader who has cultivated an activist image. An important figure in the ancient Sanskrit epic Mahabharata was Abhimanyu, a young warrior hero who died in the battle of Kurukshetra after being surrounded by and overmatched by seven powerful warriors. Banerjee's characterise herself as an Abhimanyu which in an effort to portray herself as a modern-day political heroine under fire from all sides.
