Abstract

Through a sociocultural lens, this study explores the roles, rights, and difficulties faced by women in Assamese tribal tribes. Women frequently occupy special roles in the family and community in Assam, where a sizable section of the population is from indigenous cultures. Despite the fact that many Assamese tribal communities have historically offered more gender equality than non-tribal societies, women continue to confront barriers in areas such as political involvement, economic opportunity, and education. This study emphasizes the intricate relationship between tradition, modernity, and outside factors on women's position by drawing on anthropological data and current polls.
