This book provides a critical assessment of how Dharamsing Teron's writings and philosophical ideas form the foundation of Karbi Studies, a field shaped by his academic scholarship. Teron's philosophical writings and critical ideas challenge conventional scholarly frameworks, offering a fresh indigenous perspective through which to understand Karbi history, culture and identity. His organic experiences of 'being' a Karbi, along with the influence of Karbi ontology (ancestral position in worldview), have shaped his perspective. This has in turn influenced his way of thinking and his approach to knowledge production, ultimately leading to the foundation of Karbi Studies. Thus, the book seeks to illuminate these contributions while addressing a key question: does Karbi Studies represent a theoretical framework or a metaphorical construct within broader academic discourse of Northeast India?
