SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS OF TRIBAL WOMEN: THE CASE OF MUNDA IN JHARKHAND
Shweta Virendra Singh , Dr. Vir Vikram Bhadur Singh
Abstract
In spite of land being a huge resource for a family, females are barred from its ownership. Not many ladies have control or responsibility. This prohibition is generally predominant in the native networks where tribal women have nothing to bank upon if there is in any kind of crises. Past investigations show that there are patriarchal customs (man centric traditions) with regards to Mundas of Jharkhand. When it comes to land inheritance in relation to women it has been given very less attention. The paper helps to suggest changes which can bring positive changes in the land rights of these women.
