From the ancient times the Bodos are found to be one of the major aboriginal communities that settled early in the Assam in the northeastern part of India. Their language, custom, food habits, culture, religion, faith, dresses, etc. are somewhat different from that of other people live in that state. They are rich in tribal culture with different ethnic identity. Bodo people in Bodoland Territorial Region ( Erstwhile BTC) speak the Bodo (Boro) language which is completely different not at all similar to the Assamese language. This language has Tibeto-Burmese origins and now it has become one of the official languages of Assam. The language has also an important root with the Sino-Tibetan language family which is now recognized as one of the Twenty-two scheduled languages in the Indian constitution. Bodo Sahitya Sabha, being an important literary organization has been working hard to protect and promote the Bodo customs, culture, language, and literature, etc in a wider perspective. As a result, after many struggles and agitations now the language has been recognized as a scheduled language. Bodo is one of the plain tribes living in Assam for a long time with a separate individuality,cultural identity, and linguistic differences with different dress habits. Muga and silk play very important role in their dress habits. This paper explores the importance of Muga and silk in their day to day life.
