Abstract

Northeast India is known for its diverse ethnic traits, natural landscapes, and regional and political conflicts. These factors were brought to light through diverse literary narratives. Women's contribution to English writing plays a prominent role in protecting the complex multi-ethnic and multi-cultural issues of their regions and captures the multicoloured historical and collective spaces. Their writing primarily focuses on the issues of nature, landscape, culture, oppression, conflict, turmoil, insurgency, and identity. Women's writings from these regions have attained visibility and acclaim across the nation. They are deeply concerned about the brutal violence happening in their society, which acts as a barrier to achieving progress. This chapter attempts to analyse the select contemporary tribal women's writings and their unique contribution to the betterment of their native land. This study also explores the struggle of indigenous identity and psychosocial experiences undergone by tribal communities of Northeast India through select tribal writers in English.
