Abstract :
The purpose of this research is to examine the
reality of women, who are experiencing changes in their
traditional matrilineal social order, namely the women
of Magur Chara Khasi Punjee in Bangladesh's
Moulvibazar district. This research focuses on the Khasi
ethnic group, with an emphasis on the analysis of the
reality of women in a shifting traditional matrilineal
social structure and the comprehension of the deviating
role of women in their socio-cultural transformation. In
other words, it will attempt to comprehend the shift that
occurs and the alterations to their way of life, culture,
norms, traditions, value system, and beliefs. The study
examines the changing trait of the Khasi women of
Bangladesh. The vibrant lives of Bangladesh's many
ethnic groups have greatly enhanced the country's
overall culture. Different ethnic groups have resided in
Bangladesh for ages. Due to their distinctive social and
cultural practices, languages, and customs, these people
are referred to as "Adivasis" by themselves. They are
officially referred to as the state's minor ethnic
community. The Khasi community is one of the most
marginalized and at-risk ethnic communities in
Bangladesh, who reside in the districts of Sylhet and
Moulvibazar, identified as the Khasi Mongoloid race.
They moved from Assam to Bangladesh some 500 years
ago, most likely from Tibet, and now they make up one
of the largest matrilineal tribes in the country.
