The intervention of Christian missionary education in the hills of the present-day Karbi Anglong district of Assam during the later decades of the 19th century brought the Karbis into the scope of 'colonial modernity'. In the early twentieth century, a sizable portion of the Karbis converted to Christianity in a relatively short period of time. SemsonsingIngti, the father of modern 'Karbi land,' for example, attended Christian missionary institutions. He attempted to unite all of the Karbis spread around the country and build a unified governmental administration in order to take the required steps towards the Karbis' upliftment. "Colonial modernity" was crucial in the establishment of political consciousness in Assam's Mikir Hills. Against this backdrop, the study attempts to investigate the role of colonial modernity and how colonial modernity was implemented through Missionary education in Assam's Mikir Hills.
