Dr. Meenaxi Barkataki is a researcher specializing in social and cultural #anthropology, with a focus on the #ethnic communities of Northeast India. She has been associated with institutions such as the #Vrije Universiteit (VU) in Amsterdam and the University of #Göttingen.


Her research primarily centers on the #Tangsa community, a collection of small ethnic groups related to the #Naga, who migrated from Myanmar to Northeast India. Dr. Barkataki has explored the transformation of Tangsa festivals and the performance of ethnic identity.


In 2017, she authored the book "Dancing to the State: The Ethnic Compulsions of the Tangsa in Assam," published by Oxford University Press. This work delves into the dynamics of ethnic identity and marginalization among the Tangsa people.


Dr. Barkataki academic journey includes a Ph.D. from VU University, Amsterdam, awarded in November 2015. Her dissertation examined the relationship between ethnic performance at festivals and the construction of ethnic identity among the Tangsa community in Assam.


Before transitioning to anthropology, she had an academic career in mathematics, earning a D.Phil. from Oxford University in 1992 and teaching at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Guwahati.


Dr. Barkataki is also involved with the Munin Barkotoki Memorial Trust, which promotes literature and culture in Assam
