Taben Jom : A Study From Socio Cultural Perspectives

Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 8

Abstract

The custom of Taben Jom is hugely popular among Santals. In this custom the married daughters of Santal families get a gift of considerable amount of farming land from their brother or father as a show of affection to them . The practice is also economically important as it presents the daughter as an inheritor to her father's property and provides a sense of economic security to her in case her husband dies or her marriage fails. But the custom which is meant to empower and honour Santal women has a story discussing the reason of Taben Jom which presents Santal women with totally dishonouring character. The paper is meant to bring into light the reason behind the ignominious presentation of women in a story which aims to honour her. The topic will be discussed from feminist, social and cultural perspectives . The paper will also try to assess the position of women in Santal Society.
