Kampar–this is the traditional spear of the Rabha Tribe, an indigenous tribe mainly inhabiting the forested and hilly belts of Assam and the northern parts of West Bengal. Considered a hunting tool as well as a defensive weapon, Kampar is also revered culturally in that it has within it the martial traditions and heritage of the Rabha people.It is a lightweight spear with a slender cane shaft, which is durable enough to promote easy lifting during hunting or ceremonial displays. The blade of Kampar is leaf-shaped, made of iron, and ends in a sharpened tip, which is effective for thrusting. The blade's lower end is tubular so that iron can be tightly fitted onto the cane shaft, making the total spear stable when it is thrown.
That involved a lot of skilled blacksmithing and bamboo work, which is central to Rabha traditional artisanry in the making of them. Due to the fact that it was light and had a sharp blade, the Kampars became efficiency tools for hunting hunts at small to medium-sized game deep in the Rabha-inhabited forests. Besides, the Kampar is a traditional dance tool, as well has traditional rites and represented by symbolism. Represents bravery, paternal strength, and self-sufficiency are values instilled in Rabha culture. Although today's practical usage is drastically reduced, the Kampar still holds cultural importance as a marker of the people's own land and heritage.
