Assam to Translate Zikir and Jari into Seven Tribal Languages

Assam will translate its spiritual traditions, Zikir and Jari, into seven tribal languages—Karbi, Dimasa, Deuri, Bodo, Mising, Tiwa, and Rabha. A five-day workshop by ABILAC begins on November 13 to carry out the work, following recommendations of the Biplab Sarma Committee. Experts from Gauhati University and various Sahitya Sabhas will join the project, expected to finish by February. The government says the initiative aims to preserve culture and promote harmony across communities.
