Abstract | Abstract: Medieval history of Assam is largely depended on religious movements. The Neo–Vaishnavite movement initiated by Srimanta Sankardeva in 15th century was a socio-religious and cultural movement. In Assam religious norms and values play a significant role in regulating gender roles in social life. The medieval Assamese society was very conservative and women were almost confined to their homes. Women had no respect at that time. Srimanta Sankardeva tries to extend the role of women in the practice of devotional religion. Over the years Srimanta Sankardeva Sangha emerged with the aim to introduce brotherhood and harmony in Assamese society. The Sangha also leads to all round development of women. The paper focuses on the ways in which gender role has changed significantly in Neo-Vaishnavism as well as religious organizations in Assam. This study also focuses how religious institutions such as the Srimanta Sankardeva Sangha bring changes in the role of women in the religious sphere. |
