Plot summary
'Miri Jiyori' (1894) is a love story by Rajanikanta Bordoloi set in the Miri (now referred to as the Mishing) community. A passionate story about doomed love, it was written at a time when the novel as a literary form was yet in a nascent stage. With a deeply sympathetic portrayal of a young Miri couple who matured from being childhood companions to a deeply committed but doomed couple in love, the novel is also a statement on the Mising community as well as a compassionate plea of humanism.
