This paper examines the intersection of visual media, gender, and indigeneity, focusing on the representation of Adivasi (Indigenous) women in India. Historically, the camera has functioned as a tool of colonial and patriarchal power, often objectifying tribal women under the guise of ethnographic documentation or artistic expression. In the digital age, this dynamic has exacerbated, with the internet facilitating the proliferation of intrusive and fetishized imagery. This study analyzes the sociological implications of the "male gaze" and the "colonial gaze" in the context of Adivasi identity, arguing that the unauthorized or exploitative circulation of images constitutes a form of structural violence. It concludes by advocating for a paradigm shift towards participatory media and ethical representation that prioritizes the agency, dignity, and consent of Indigenous subjects.
