The age-old cultural-temporal sequencing of the various naturally occurring reproductive experiences of women in tribal settings is being severely altered by the compulsive intervention of the modern medical technologies of the day. The major driving force behind such a rupture in the indigenous lifestyles of women has been the rampant medicalization, which seriously impinges on the existing gender roles, making way for institution-based ‘systemic exclusion’ of women’s reproductive healthcare especially in the tribal context. In fine, the author tries to situate women's nutrition from the perspective of the interaction between women and medical personnel, wherein the former is more dependent on the latter vis-à-vis medicalization, which is indicative of the rampant power imbalance between the two. Normally, it has been observed that modern occupational patterns, family structure, education system, and even healthcare itself have affected the way of life among the tribes, which have created their own regional nutrition-based disorders in India. This problem of nutritional disorders can very well be ascertained through the regional imbalances at the macro level gender sensitive reproductive health indicators like that of TFR, MMR, IMR, Female Age at Marriage, Female Education and so on. However, there are very few studies that have gone to the roots of this situation and illustrate the mechanisms through which the indigenous beliefs and practices, in turn, affect the above-stated domains. Social Organisation is an institutional mechanism that shapes nutritional behaviour at the cultural level. The central thesis/research question of this paper is, therefore, to study how nutrition as a gendered phenomenon is shaped by the institutional mechanisms at the cultural level on hand and the compulsive intervention of modern medical technologies as an agenda of healthcare on the other.
