BETWEEN TRADITION AND TRANSITION: THE STATUS OF BODO WOMEN IN COLONIAL ASSAM

This paper explores the socio-economic, educational, and political status of Bodo women in colonial Assam. Drawing on limited but valuable literary and historical records, it reconstructs the lives and contributions of Bodo women during a critical phase of regional transformation. Despite lacking a formal written history, Bodo women played an essential role in agriculture, weaving, and socio-political movements. Their relative freedom and active participation in society distinguished them from women in many other communities during the same period.

Abstract

This paper explores the socio-economic, educational, and political status of Bodo women in colonial Assam. Drawing on limited but valuable literary and historical records, it reconstructs the lives and contributions of Bodo women during a critical phase of regional transformation. Despite lacking a formal written history, Bodo women played an essential role in agriculture, weaving, and socio-political movements. Their relative freedom and active participation in society distinguished them from women in many other communities during the same period.
