The story of Disrudi Haflongbar | Princess of the Dimasa Kacharis - Dimasa Thairili

Disrudi Haflongbar
The picture of Disru is painted by Lakheswar Bodo

Dishrudi Haflongbar, also known by her stage name Disru was one of the Dimasa princess. She was born on 3 March 1496, her father's name is Hariram Haflongbar & mother's name is Daokadi Haflongbar.

While Disru also had a very important role play among the Dimasa communities it constituted the civilized rituals of Dimasa customs and living today.


A King once lived, whose principal amusement consisted in hunting elephants. One day information was brought in that a large herd was in a forest, some day’s journey from the capital. Upon this, the king determined to start at once and to remain out in the jungle until he had accounted for the greater number. In taking farewell to his wife, who intended shortly to present him another child, he said “Children we have in plenty: our daughters especially being exceedingly numerous. Should the babe prove to be of the female sex, you had better get it, but if a male brings it up”. Then taking an affectionate farewell of the wife of his bosom, the king and his followers started. In due course, the queen was delivered by another girl, a child of surpassing beauty. Remembering her husband’s parting instructions, she was in a great state of mind and did not for a long time know what to do. At last one of the maids suggested that the infant should be made over to her and the matter kept quiet. The king and his party in the meanwhile had wandered about the country, hunting the herd of elephants, and it was some years before they had destroyed all of the thought of returning home. On reaching the palace, the king’s first inquiry was about his wife and the child born in his absence. In great fear and trembling, the queen said a daughter had been born, and, by his instructions, had been born, and, following his instructions, had been made away with. Greatly to the relief of the household, the father believed the tale and rejoiced exceedingly at not having another mouth to fill.
