Women, Representation, Literature, Socio-cultural and Bodo writers

Abstract: Literature is like a mirror of society. Social pictures of society are reflected clearly in literature. The habits of people, their doing, thinking, etc. along with existing culture are portrayed by the writers in their writing. The Bodos of northeast India are a large and well-known tribal inhabitant of Assam. They also have different types of literature, rich with their own cultural and linguistic diversity, reflecting the ethos and experiences of the Bodo people. Women, as a part of society, their status had reflected differently at different literature works of Bodos. Early literature like myths, legends, folk songs and tales, narrated women as heroines, social workers, baby carers of the society. They are portrayed simply as daughters, sisters, wives, and mothers in society. They had passed their lives within the four boundaries of the house doing hardly all the household chores. They sacrificed their lives for the happiness of the family, tolerate silently the problems they faced, and serviced for the family members. They were uneducated, loyal to their husband, and had no connection with the outside world. But in today’s modern literature, women are displayed the opposite of earlier as changed their habits and characters with time and situations. They have been portrayed as educated, who try to be free from their racial social norms, and love to be free from the dominance of males and other family members. On the other hand, the voice of rights and liberty of women are tried to raise in literary work by female and some male writers. This study investigated the evolution of women's portrayal in Bodo literature, from traditional roles rooted in folklore and mythology to modern interpretations that challenge stereotypes and depict women as agents of change. It explores narratives that address issues such as gender inequality, cultural identity, and women's empowerment within the Bodo society. By analysing prominent literary texts and their socio-cultural contexts, the paper aims to uncover the complex dynamics shaping gender perceptions and norms within Bodo literature. Moreover, the research discusses the influence of Bodo female writers and their contributions to reshaping narratives and advocating for gender equity through literature.
