There was a time when a Karbi forefather could speak in endless verses- the language he so fluently used to express his world-views, his religion, and to communicate with his exotic surrounding and his descendants.

"The urgent need to re-claim the voices of the Karbi ancestors impelled to write this book. The Karbi ancestors perfectly understood the power of the words and made abundant use of them, to heal. This work is my humble attempt, putting my faith in my ancestors' wisdom that words, written words, can indeed heal."
