Resumen

This conceptual paper delves into the intricate landscape of empowerment, focusing specifically on the experiences of Naga women. Despite the global discourse on empowerment, this paper argues that the concept, when applied to Naga women, may function more as a myth than a tangible reality. Drawing on feminist and postcolonial perspectives, the paper examines the complexities and nuances inherent in the purported empowerment of Naga women. It critiques prevailing narratives, identifies power structures, and explores the interplay between tradition, modernity, and external influences in shaping the empowerment discourse. Empowerment in the Naga society has in recent years become a terminology to overshadow the presence of women's active involvement in the public sphere, it is a limitation rather than a space for participation, agency, and choice.
