Abstract

In every society, from ancient to modern times, women are considered the property of men to serve their interests in both society and the domestic front. The position of women always plays a significant role in the growth and development of any society in the world. Assam is a land of numerous tribes having different ethnic and linguistic backgrounds since time immemorial. Among them, the Bodo/Boro are numerically and sociologically one of the most important aboriginal tribes in Assam. The role of Bodo women was confined to being a wife and a mother, as has been depicted in the inscriptions. Yet the historiography of that period confined the study of the Status of Bodo women in her society in various concern areas. The paper makes a humble attempt to highlight the importance of the status of Bodo women or their normal position in the field of socio-cultural, economic, and religious perceptions in the society in the colonial period.
