Women’s Contribution Towards Humankind; An Inside view of Apatani Folklore
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 2
Abstract
Limitation and invisibility of women‟s contribution are truly visible in our society. In any patriarchic society, men‟s voices are heard louder than women‟s, no matter how big their contribution be, this has been in practice since ages. Every society has its own stories to justify that women have always played an important role and shared equal responsibility in perpetuating human being and its society. Folklore plays an important role in any society, especially in the tribal society where there is no written records. So Folklore or oral literature is the only source that enlightens people about the past and sometime it works as a pedagogic that becomes source of knowledge; it can be used for teaching and learning as well by citing examples from folklores. Three significant women in the Apatani Folklore viz. Ayo Diilyang Diibu, Doilyang Chanjang and Khalang Rudu have been studied and presented here. In this study an attempt has been made to locate a place of women and their contribution towards humankind in existing folklores of Apatanis, in other words, do oral literature or for that matter in folklore women share any space?
