Prime Minister Narendra Modi on March 28 in the 75th ‘Mann Ki Baat’ mentioned the name of Sikari Tissau of Karbi Anglong, Assam.
During his speech, Narendra Modi stated, “My dear countrymen, when people of India visit any corner of the world, they proudly say that they are Indians.
We have a lot to be proud of as an Indian. Our Yoga, Ayurveda, philosophy, and whatnot.
We are as well proud of our local language, dialect, identity, dress, food, and drink. We have to attain the new, for that is what life. But at the same time, we must not lose our past.
All Indians must work really hard to enrich the immense cultural heritage around us. And must be passed on to the new generation.”

“Sikari Tissau, who lives in Assam, is doing this very diligently.
The man from the Karbi Anglong district has been documenting the Karbi language for the last 20 years.
The Karbi language is now disappearing from the mainstream.
But, Sikari Tissau has decided that he would protect the identity of Karbi Anglong.
His efforts have resulted in the documentation of much information about the Karbi language.
For his efforts, Sikari Tissau has also received accolades at many places and has also received awards.” PM Modi stated.
“Through ‘Mann Ki Baat’ I congratulate Sikari Tissau.
Moreover, in many corners of the country, there will be many seekers like this slogging in such initiatives and I also congratulate them all.” Narendra Modi further stated.
