Recorded history reveals that the adivasis of India have been facing marginalization for the last few centuries. They have been losing their control over forest resources and the integration policies of the state have been unfruitful since independence from British colonisation. Alu Kurumba is one of the particularly vulnerable tribal groups living in the Nilgiris district of Tamil Nadu, India. This community has been facing cultural and economic colonisation in the form of restricting their rights towards forest resources and lack of alternate livelihood apart from employment in plantations. This dual marginalisation impacts Alu Kurumba women severely. This paper is an outcome of a descriptive research that used a post-positivism framework. The researcher selected 50 Alu Kurumba women from seven hamlets for this research. The sampling techniques were snowball and convenient. About 82 per cent of the respondents' families were in the category of Low Standard of Living Index
