Abstract

The Darlong in the present state of Tripura (India) precisely belonged to the Kuki-Chin group of the coming of Christianity among the tribesmen and women in the early twentieth century did mark the era of change but the core internal ruling of the society-gender bias. On the other hand, denial cannot be made on the prevalence of the faculty of acceptance (either consciously or unconsciously) among the Darlong women in conceptualising the gender role in and out of the society leaving a huge dilemma on the science of their psychology-creating an atmosphere of Coleridge's ‘willing suspension of disbelief’. Stepping further, the ethnic tribe had never encounter any social unrest up till today from the part of the suppressed class so as to surface a concrete truth of the their submissiveness and unwillingness to be so calling for an absolute social study. Under the circumstances, the paper attempts to delineate the probabilities and possibilities of triumph over feminist while analysing the refute rights and privileges of the Darlong women in the contemporary Darlong society.
