MIKIRS

This article appears in Volume V18, Page 437 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MIC-MOL
MIKIRS , a hill tribe of India, occupying two or three detached tracts in Nowgong and Sibsagar districts of Eastern
Bengal
  and
Assam
 , known as the Mikir hills. In 1901 their
total
  number was returned as 87,o56. Mikir is the name given to them by the Assamese; they
call
  themselves Arleeng, which means " man " in general. They have
long
  settled down to
agriculture
 , and are distinguished from the tribes around them by the
absence
  of savagery. Their language, which has been studied by missionaries, seems to connect them with .the Kuki-
Chin
  stock on the Burmese frontier.
See Sir C.
Lyall
 , The Mikirs (1908).
