Introductory Paragraph: In India the tribal region and scheduled areas have historically challenged complicated segregation entrenched in geography, and institutional downgrading. Initially, many Indian tribal societies were characterised by comparatively egalitarian social relations and women playing a significant role in agriculture, resource management, and community governance. Initially these tribal women were frequently involved in decision-making processes. They were treated with respect that was uncommon in non-tribal contexts at that time. But during the British colonial time in India authority of tribal land was challenged through the Britisher. They were displacing communities and weakening tribal authority, including that of powerful women, through revenue and land tenure reforms and the declaration of forests as state property. But at this time there were many tribal women who challenged and fought with the British rule. The women were Budwal Devi, Sobha Ganda, and Koya Queen Bângarâ Devi and they also inspired resistance during the freedom movement. But at the same time we tried to the evaluate the status of women among India’s tribal people which has rarely been the subject of cross-disciplinary research, despite the fact that there is a substantial corpus of social and cultural literature outlining the traits and differences among the country’s numerous tribes.
