Change of Title to "Women's suffrage in Colonial India"

[edit]

This article seems slightly misleading since all of this is during the colonial times and after independence, universal voting rights were implemented hence nothing related to this topic is available after 1947/1950 (if constitutional implementation is considered). The article also doesn't explicitly mention this in the intro as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:6081:2440:19A:9CCA:92E0:CF3:9A87 (talk) 15:36, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure I understand why you feel that "colonial" is important to the topic. The focus is not about the national status, but rather on the movement that developed to challenge norms about women and whether they should be allowed to vote. In every movement for women's suffrage, it ended when women were legally allowed to vote, so India is no different, i.e. your statement "nothing related to this topic...after 1947/1950". Looking at like articles of other former British colonies, for example Canada and Australia, the articles on women's suffrage are titled Women's suffrage in X, regardless of whether they had gained autonomy or not.
