Women, Iron, and Environment in the Traditional Khasi-Jaintia Economy (Pre-Colonial and Early Colonial Period)
Author(s) | Richard Star Wahlang |

Country | India |
Abstract | The women in the Khasi-Jaintia hills played a decisive role in the growth and commercialization of the traditional iron manufacturing industry in these hills which dates back to antiquity. The industry remains undisturbed till it was replaced by the factory-made British iron. The traditional iron industry evoked keen interest among scholars since the colonial period. Interesting accounts are given by the colonial writers which give us a peek into the status of this important occupation and the impact it had on the economy. The paper is an attempt to explore the part played by the women in the growth of this industry and the resultant impact it had on the forest resources and vegetation of the region. |
