Abstract：Rural women's participation in village governance in India exhibits multiple paradoxes： the high proportion of women in the grassroots governance organization Panchayat who participate in and hold major positions is the world's leading position， while the classic patriarchal (manus) family is still the basic system of the village， and women are dominated in the family.The women selected for Panchayate have a tough and unyielding fighting spirit and a significant gender awareness， but at the same time， the governance power granted to them by the law usually became the “rubber stamp” manipulated by patriarchs.The state promotes rural women's participation in village governance through the formulation of constitution， but it is deeply opposed by the classic patriarchal (manus) system. As a result， the country's high level of intervention and weakness coexist in the face of this issue. Big data shows a high proportion of rural grassroots women's self-government participation in India， while micro village field surveys can more deeply observe the political tension between gender， family and country.The dimension of interaction and recursion between gender， family and country can explain the multiple paradoxes of Indian rural women's participation in village governance more academically.
