Karbi people
:''For the place in Armenia, see Karbi, Armenia.''
The Karbis (Assamese:কাৰ্বি), mentioned as the Mikir in the Constitution Order of the Government of India, are one of the major ethnic groups in Northeast India and especially in the hill areas of Assam. The great artist-scholar Bishnu Prasad Rabha refer to them as the Columbus of Assam.〔http://www.indiantravelportal.com/assam/tribes/karbi.html〕 They prefer to call themselves Karbi, and sometimes ''Arleng'' (literally "man" in the Karbi language). The term ''Mikir'' is now not preferred and is considered to be derogatory.〔(Ethnologue profile )〕 The closest meaning of mikir could said to be derived from "Mekar".〔(Meaning of Mikir « Karbis Of Assam )〕
