Volume : II, Issue : IX, October - 2012 Patriarchal Traditions” And “female Subjugation” In Colonial Assam: Continuity V/s Paradigm Shift Munmi Sen Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : Quest for reforms in the existing social order of India began in the 19th century
and was more or less an outcome of India's encounter with the colonial subjugation.
There are disagreements to the views as to whether these changes were a response to
colonial onslaught or not. In this context the current paper is an exploration into the
change in perception of women in the then Assamese society, if radical break from the
past and transformation in the ideas and ideals set in or was there more continuity than
change in this aspect. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : Munmi Sen, (2012). Patriarchal Traditions” And “female Subjugation” In Colonial Assam: Continuity V/s Paradigm Shift.
