About the Owner.
Hi all, My name is Morningkeey Phangcho ( the administrator of this site ) and this Blog was Created to share information about the Karbi tribe of Assam, also known as ‘Mikirs’ in the constitution of India. The Blog owner also belongs to the Karbi tribe, which is an ethnic tribal group of Assam. I have spent sometime for my Graduation in B.Sc ( Computer Science) from NEHU ( North Eastern Hill University) but I am presently persuing my studies on engineering from Assam Engineering College, Guwahati University. I am also doing ethnography on the Karbis independently with the help of my friends especially Dr Bouchery Pascal and Philippe Ramirez and have visited Thailand for the purpose of training on ethnography.
Some of the Articles are contributed by Dr. Bouchery Pascal, Lecturer in Anthropology, University of Poiters, France with the information provided by me. A big hug and thanks to him.
My gratitude also goes to Dr. Philippe Ramirez of CNRS ( Centre da National la Recherche Scientifique), Paris, France for his helps and able guidance in understanding the socio-cultural background of the Karbis.
I was born to Shri S. Phangcho and Mrs K Enghipi and brought up at Umrongso, North Cachar Hills District of Assam, India and spent the youth of my life in Shillong. I learned about the Sociological structure of the Karbis from my grandmother Late K. Terangpi and hence this Blog is dedicated to this grand old lady.
Also A big hug and thanks to Mr. Dharam Sing Teron of Diphu, Karbi Anglong. He is an able colleague to work with on most of the articles.

Keey,
Great website. I really felt pround when you said Karbis form a greater Assamese society. This is the spirit we need from all ethnic groups of the state. Anyway, I am wondering if there is any website with information about the Karbi language. Or, may be, you can take up the job to create one.
Cheers,
Bikram

Your effort in making the website is truly praiseworthy. A very comprehensive information about the Karbi culture has been provided for people who wants to know more about Karbis. What I like the most, however, is the fact that an intense research has gone through all this. Congratulation and keep up the good work.

Your thoughts and efforts are always different from others. I am really excited for your first edition…Waiting for your book….

Hai Morningkee! I am Priming from Pune and excited to see your site with enthusiasm. Keep it up because the world needs to know who we are with such rich and distinct culture and values. I am proud to be your friend who studied with you in Shillong! God be with you.
Prims Millick, Pune said
Hai morning! can you also do a research on the karbi system on economy maybe our perspective on livelihood. As globalisation is on its progressive move, what can be a response from a traditional karbi mentality? Are we still an old hiding jack or a late kate? with best wishes.
Sarthe Teron said

Kardom Mr. Morning,
I’m really surprised and proud to stumble upon your blog today. I’m a Karbi from Diphu, married to a half Karbi from Shillong, presently working and living in Cambodia.
I’m also interested to find out the origin of the word “Mikir” and know more about what you are doing. I hope I’ll be able to learn more about our tribe from your blog and try to do something on my part.
It’s great that you’ve made a start. Keep it up.

Administrator said
Thank you on behalf of Morningkeey…..and since you’re already in Cambodia, maybe that’s a good place to start with. It will be a great service to understanding the Karbis if you could kindly utilise your stay in Cambodia to collect folklore and local myths etc. What Ashis has spoken about the Chakesang version of the origin of the term ‘Mikir’ (MIKIRI) is itself a very good explanation. Please ask Ashis to record information like this in research methodology.
Thank you again from Diphu…..

I have gone through your site on the Karbis. Do you know that According to Prof Suniti Kumar Chatterjee Karbis are the most imaginative & creative communities of NE India.My first anthropological field wrk was on karbi rituals way back in 1979 at a village called Rongkanthir. myself, my husband Udayan hazarika and my father late Navakanta Barua have always been inerested in the Karbi culture as a whole.As I teach Social anthropology at Cotton college, I find this site most illuminating as it reflect the inner voices from the community which is called emic approach.This approach is very important in the study of post-modernity.Thank you very much for the site that takes us to find our roots. Bless you & I shall be in touch. U.B
