WELCOME TO THE BLOG OF KARBIS

Welcome to my world of Karbis. This blog was started with the sole aim to provide all the necessary information needed to know and understand the sociological structure of the karbis. Karbis are an ethnic tribal group of Assam and forms a part of the greater Assamese Society. Once they used to live on the banks of the rivers the Kalang and the Kapili and the entire Kajiranga area, the famous National Park situated in Assam.

In fact the word Kaziranga as it is Known today has been derieved from a Karbi word ,Kajir-a-rang , which means “Kajir’s Village” or “Kajiror gaon”. Kajir is a name among the Karbis.

Karbi claims to have an ancient and proud hindu lineage. Karbis claim to be the offspring of Hanuman’s brother Sugriva. In fact, Karbis believe they came to the Northeast in search of purthemi kungripi (Sita Mata) during the Treta yuga, and failed to return to Ayodhya according to “SABIN ALUN“, a karbi version of Ramayana.
