Dr. Jatin Mipun, a celebrated Mising writer and intellectual, made a lasting impact on Assamese literature and society. Honored with the Ambikagiri Raichowdhury Prize in 1996 for his novel Miksijili and the Syed Abdul Malik Prize in 2003, his work bridged Assamese and Mising cultural worlds. His literary prowess and dedicated public service earned him the Bharat Jyoti Award. Dr. Mipun's sudden passing left a significant void in both Assamese society and the Mising community. Dr. Jatin Mipun belongs to the Mising Tribe. Mising is a native tribe in Assam much known for its cultures, languages and traditions. They basically were attached as riverine and agrarian. They are vibrant in festivals such as Ali Aye Ligang, with weaving practices being part of their tradition. Dr. Mipun has worked in a way that highlights and preserves Mising culture within Assamese literature, increasing a much broader audience appreciation and understanding of that distinct tradition and contribution to society. Alongside numerous awards, Dr. Mipun actively contributed to magazines and newspapers, and edited the magazine Barta Pakhili. His literary works, including Miksijili, The World of Kankan, and Assam Darshan, explore Assamese culture and rural life with nuance. His novel Miksijili was adapted for television, reaching a wider audience. His work includes a research book on Mising lifestyle, over 1,000 poems, and several unpublished works, ensuring his cultural insights will continue to educate and inspire. Born on August 1, 1952, in Jorhat, Assam, Dr. Mipun grew up surrounded by natural beauty that inspired his literary works. After his education, he became a sociology lecturer at Dhemaji College in 1976 and soon joined public service, holding several prominent roles, including as an IPS officer, the first from the Mising community. Dr. Mipun’s work significantly contributed to Assamese literature and the broader Mising identity. By exploring themes of Mising life and heritage, he brought visibility to this underrepresented community. His influence extended beyond literature as he also held leadership roles in law enforcement, where he broke barriers as the first Mising IPS officer.
