Author(s) Mr. Biswajit Doley
Country India
Abstract ABSTRACT:
The Misings are one of the scheduled (Plains) tribe of Assam. Formerly they were called Miris in the plains. Originally they belonged to the Hill tribes known as Adis of Arunachal Pradesh. The Misings are formed by different class of the Adi groups, which migrated to the plains of Assam, in different points of time around the 13 th/14th century. They settled in the midst of different castes and tribes of Brahmaputra valley. Thus the Misings formed ethnic of greater Assamese society.
The Misings are belong to the greater group of Tani people who belong to a Sino-Tibetan linguistic group inhabiting in the Indian states of Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Tibet Autonomous Region of China. Tibetan refers to the Tani people as the Lhobas. ‘Lho’ means south and ‘Ba’ means people. Lhobas meaning “southerners” i.e. people who reside in South Tibet. Mising is a subgroup of the greater Tani clan or so called “Lhobas” as addressed by the Tibetans. In older times, Mising and other Tani people traded swords and other metals to Tibetans in exchange for meat and wool and used Tibetan language for written Communication as they had no written language of their own.
In this research work I would like to focus and highlight about the religious believes and traditional cultural affinity of Mising community of Assam.
