Women in Indian society are gasping for air to survive –male perversion has become the order of the day – male sexual behaviour has become order of the criminal act – in the flip side of that , Rabha community in remote Himalayan Plateau of Terrain and Doors has a complete different story to tell. A society known for this unique style of song and dance has a unique practice of matriarchic society. Rabha women have the highest position in the family- they weave , they fish, they cultivate even takes the major economic decisions too. Though the wave of modernization and globalization somehow polluted the sacred tradition, in general Rabhas run the family or society that celebrates womanhood. As the obvious reason Rabha song and dance has the complete representation of their societal practice. Rabha rhythm is the rhythm of womanhood, rhythm of the creator- the women of the world.
