The Karbi, mentioned as the Mikir in the Constitution Order of the Government of India, constitute an important ethnic group in the hill areas of Assam. They prefer to call themselves Karbi, and sometimes Arleng (literally "man" in the Karbi language). The term Mikir may sometimes be considered derogatory.[1]
The Karbi constitute the majority group in the Karbi Anglong district of Assam. There are also some Karbi inhabited pockets in North Cachar Hills, Kamrup, Morigaon, Nagaon and Sonitpur districts of Assam. Karbi communities are also found in the Balijan circle of Papumpare district in Arunachal Pradesh, Jaintia, and East Khasi Hills districts of Meghalaya as well as the foothills around Dimapur District in Nagaland.
