Feminism has become the most controversial, most discussed and most contested subject in India’s current academic field. North East Indian feminism generally depended on Western feminism as well as Indian feminism frameworks. These two frameworks are diversely intricate from North-East India in term of race, class, caste, culture and religion, etc. Moreover, it is important to note that most Indian mainstream feminists are brought up in a specific cultural setting i.e. class, caste, religion etc. from various parts of India. ‘Indian feminist thought’ is a term that they coined through their own discourse. If caste, ethnic and class formation plays an important role in understanding women subordination in their own society, the representation of tribal women who are living in diverse ethnic spaces will barely be sufficient. Recent studies from the North-East India have shown that the North-East women suffer various forms of discriminations that mainstream cultures are not even aware of. Failing to recognize the regional specificity in terms of race, ethnicity, religion, caste, tribe etc. would be misleading and erroneous. Keeping the above facts in view, the present anthology Feminism in North East India: A Critical Exploration is planned to explore, review, and re-assess ‘Feminism’ in North East India to highlight the complex status syndrome of women in North East Region and their struggle.
