The subject of the paper examines the political stratification of women in Nagaland.Politics has become a paradigm for the development of women's equality, rights and security in society. There is no denying of the fact that Naga women enjoy an equal social life as compared to women of other states in the nation,the status of women in the literature sector is much stride than that of men in the state of Nagaland,it is a state which encompasses both men and women in the society but when it comes to the political participation it is known to be a male dominant. In general, Naga society has a patrilineal and patriarchal traditional society.The status of women is impacted by the patriarchal rules and customary laws present in such society.The idea that men are superior to women and vice versa serves as the basis for institutions and traditions. At present, the inclusion of women in decision-making is a question that has the Naga society in a dilemma. For women to participate in decision-making, they must overcome obstacles like public opinion, political culture, and the electoral system. This paper studies on how the government of Nagaland agreed to carry out the elections following the cabinet's directives and the interim order issued by the Supreme Court to implement the 33% reservation for women in the elections for Urban Local Bodies (ULB).The action, however, sparked a controversy in the state because it was challenged by tribal representative bodies who said that it violated the terms of Article 371(A) of the Constitution. Does Article 371(A) of India constitution which protects the customary laws of Naga's interlinks with the 33% reservation for women in Urban Local Bodies (UBL)? This paper argues on the hurdles to Naga women's political engagement,women's political socialization and participation, and the role and status of women in politics in the state. Given political opportunity will Naga women turn up to contest into election as candidate? Reservation of women in politics.From varied angles within tribal society,women's inclusion in politics and advocating for women can result in a society with a developed social milieu and bring about a well-known respectful state in the nation.
