Abstract: The status of a woman can be judged mainly by the roles they play in society. Their roles are determined to a large extend through the system of descent. With the exception of Khasi, Jaintia and Garo in Meghalaya, the tribals of North East India mostly follow patriarchal form of society in which women have little or no role to play in the male dominated society. The study is an attempt to analyse the extent to which women are sanctioned in the domain of the power structure of the male dominated Kuki society of Assam. It also deals with the degree in which modern developments like education and their conversion into Christianity has ushered egalitarian ideas and principles in the relationship of men and women in the society.
