Abstract If we want to throw focus on women in changing social scenario the study will cover the traditional and emerging status of women in concern to their education, family life, economy, culture, religion etc. Like other ethnic groups the Jolha women also played an important and vital role in the changing scenario of the society. The Jolhas entered Assam during the British period. In the British period, with the opening of the tea gardens labourers were brought to Assam to work in the tea gardens from Chotanagpur, Bihar, Orissa and Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal. These people are now spread over in various part of Brahmaputra Valley basically in the Tea Garden and also outside of the same. Amongst them the Jolha women of Dhemaji of Golaghat district are observed and studied to find out the changes in cultural field. In this paper an attempt has been made to explore the changes that took place among the Jolha women regarding their cultural activities. For the study both primary and secondary data have been collected. The secondary data has been collected from published materials like books, articles and information gathered from the field study.
