Political Status of Rongmei Naga Women

Mary Panmei

Abstract: The roles of women in the social and political affairs are regulated by the traditional customs and norms. Examining the role of women at the ideal plane and their tangible rights and obligations is necessary in order to understand their status within the society. In most cases, women are kept out of the decision-making processes. Men, in favour of the traditions and customs get more prestige and values and thereby considered themselves influential in every domains. Women subsist by the idioms of the traditional customs. Their rights are instable and hence make them peripheral in the political power structure of the society. Today, women have played a significant role in their society however their mobility is still limited to a great extent. The philosophy of women as the weaker being continues to exist within the society.
