Social media has emerged as an arena for political deliberation. Facebook, Twitter,
and WhatsApp are major platforms where political debates/deliberation take
place. This study was undertaken to investigate if attitude and perception towards
these online platforms for political deliberation differs for male and female. For
this purpose, a quantitative study was conducted using a structured questionnaire
among 400 students of a private university. The finding suggests that males are
more likely to be involved on political deliberation on social media than their
female counterparts. Also male students value social media as an arena for political
deliberation more than their female students
