  Abstract


In the secluded courtyards of Amroha, the history of the Gurjar community is not written; it is sung. While formal historiography remains preoccupied with macro-narratives of caste politics and land ownership, the domestic interiority and intellectual lives of rural women exist as a silent, unmapped archive. This paper addresses the academic erasure by treating Gurjar women's wedding songs as a living archive of social transition. By documenting and analyzing a curated collection of folk lyrics, the study positions these performative practices as primary sources that revealed the shifting objectives of women often excluded from elite chronicles. Using three thematic lenses- ritual sanctity, domestic subversion, and the negotiation of romantic choice, the research demonstrates how these songs function as a hidden transcript. The analysis explores how women utilize humor, parody, and rhythmic reputation to articulate positions and household hierarchies that are frequently silenced informal pros. Ultimately, this work argues that preserving these voices is a critical act of cultural sustainability. By bridging the gap between the village courtyard and academic discourse, the paper ensures that these gender histories are not erased, providing a necessary counter narrative to the standard documentation of rural India.
