Leprosy, a chronic infectious disease which predominantly affects the skin, nerves, and limbs, has long been associated with stigmatization and discrimination. The disease leads to the marginalization of affected individuals in various aspects of society, including political awareness as well as political participation. The study explores the crucial issue of political inclusion and participation of leprosy affected people. It studies the barriers to political participation of these people, including social stigma, discrimination, limited access to education and health care and legal obstacles. It further sheds light on the adverse impact of these barriers on their ability to engage in political activities such as exercising adult franchise, running for office, and voicing their concerns. The study delves into the challenges faced by leprosy affected people in engaging with political processes and institutions, while highlighting the significance of their participation for promoting social justice, human rights, and inclusive governance. It emphasizes the need to address societal prejudices and create an enabling environment that empowers this marginalized group to exercise their political rights.
