Grounded in the broader framework of political engagement and India's democratic ideals, the study underscores the contributions of Bodo women to India's freedom struggle and the preservation of their cultural heritage. Their efforts are contextualized within the evolving aspirations of the Bodo community for autonomy and self-determination. It throws a light into the significant leadership roles of Bodo women, particularly through different organizations and analysis of its implications for women's empowerment. It further investigates grassroots initiatives aimed at addressing systemic social, economic, and cultural disparities while fostering educational and leadership opportunities for women. By situating Bodo women as catalysts for transformative change, this paper illuminates their indispensable role in advancing the socio-political aspirations of their community and shaping the broader political landscape of the region.
