Social Change and DevelopmentSummary: Pointing out the educational scenario of the Bodos, known to be one of the earliest settlers in the northern side of the Brahmaputra Valley, during the period prior to colonial annexation, this paper has made an attempt to briefly analyse how has the scenario gradually changed in the subsequent period. It has been argued that the social reform movement that played a historical role in reconstructing the Bodo society during the colonial era, helped subsequent emergence, growth and consolidation of a distinct identity of the Bodos. Especially, the visible apathy of the power structure towards expansion of educational infrastructure and acceptance of Bodo as a medium of instruction not only restricted enrolment of the Bodo students in the school but also reinforced the identity movement launched by the Bodos. The primary concern of this paper, however, is to comprehend the historical processes associated with expansion of modern education among the Bodos. – Reproduced
