The latent desire of authors and scholars to see an egalitarian world has been channelised in contextualising the female self-sureness in their authors characterisation. However, women characters of mainstream society have gained acclaimed acknowledgement way before than the ones belonging to the marginal communities. The belief that Tribal women are less participative and contributively less active in tribal ecriture has reigned the scholastic views. Such perception has changed its course in post-colonial era and the tribal women have found their voice in their characterisation.
