IDifferent Studies on women's questions now exist all over the globe. These issues have newly caught the concentration of many and have expanded impact in the academy through student and faculty activism. A variety of issues interrelated to women have been evolving in the feminist movement in India from the demand of changing socioeconomic values and demands. In nineteenth century for the first time the women's issues comes to the front position. Social reformers all over the country explained deep apprehension for women issues for example sati, child marriage, female infanticide, widowhood, purdah, education, polygamy and so on. Different scholars have been focusing critical explanation on women's position in the nineteenth century. From the early twentieth century women's unions began to form and a special category of women activities was constructed. It is noted that from the first decades of the twentieth century, the verbalization of women's topics was based on liberal ideologies of equality in each meadow of society. A mixture of works is going on through out the academia on women's concerns. Although a hub from a verity of viewpoint is needed when we talk of the problems connected to tribal women, as it differs a bit in there nature. While the condition of tribal women in India has been recognized as being better than that of their non tribal counterparts, in actual fact, these meticulous women are deprived of social and economic autonomy in lots of respect. The proposed Research Project is an effort to highlight the different socioeconomic conditions of Deori women, who form one of the weakest sections of the society in Assam and Arunachal Pradesh.
