In the beginning of the modern era, Indian peasants suffered at the hands of the Colonizers and the local zamindars alike. The industrialization also had its brunt on the peasants. And the Independent India also could not protect its farming community with the wide spread of globalization, liberalization and privatization and the mushrooming of the multi-national corporate.

The marginalised tribal women comprise the weakest section of the Indian society. It is a sad reality that their identity remains weak, unvoiced and largely unexplored. Invigorating them would enhance the collective national capability as it will carry justice, equity and development to the most vulnerable segment of the nation, thereby reinforcing and the frailest of its stalk. The portrayal of tribal women in literature can go a long way in spreading awareness about the cause, not only on the national, but also on an international scale.

Abstract:

The field of literature presents us with diverse perspectives on the theme of ‘female identity’ as expressed by both male and female writers. Throughout history and across different cultures, the role of women in society has transformed significantly, with one constant fact that women have always been looked down upon as being inferior to men. However, the female literary tradition in India has challenged patriarchal norms and given new meaning to women's self-assertion and identity.
