Career[edit | edit source]
Thakur was a member of 12th Lok Sabha from Ajmer constituency in Rajasthan from 1998 to 1999. In 2009, she was openly critical of the Left Front rule of the state of Bengal, saying that crimes against women have been growing in the previous 33 years of rule.[5] In 2014, she was part of a group of women who supported an Aam Sabha for the 33% Women's Reservation Bill.[6] She stated that the bill would help "empower Indian women socially, economically and politically."[7]

What the girls should wear should be the concern of the girl, her parents and her family only. I don't think there is a need for anyone else to say anything about how a girl should behave."[10] Thakur believes instead, that as more women see rapists being dealt "justice," they will be more likely to file cases against assailants.[11] She has previously spoken out about the amount of violent crime against women in Delhi.[12]
Prabha has been a member of Maha Bodhi Society working for world peace and harmony through Buddhism. As a social worker and parliamentarian, she made special efforts in the field related to women and children.[3]
