India is ranked 24th in the world in political empowerment of women, where as United States is ranked at 19.

India is ahead of Japan(54), Italy(48), Spain(34).

India's gender disparity is also a function of poverty, which does not get eliminated due to high levels of corruption and mismanagement by bureaucracy.

So, further political empowerment of women will make no difference unless corruption and poverty is eliminated.
