==History==<br />
The newspaper was founded with the name '''Angtong''' in the year 2004, as a weekly newspaper, but due to the opposition of the title by activist group Karbi Youth Organisation (KYO), the name was changed to '''Thekar'''.{{Citation needed|date=August 2019}} It started as a weekly, then biweekly and later into triweekly. It became a daily newspaper on 21 September 2005. The publication later expanded with an English daily "The Hills Review" and a cable TV "KAT Channel".{{Citation needed|date=August 2019}}<br />
<br />
==Contribution to Karbi Language==<br />
Before the advent of Karbi dailies in the early 2000s, there were little research on [[Karbi language]]. Karbi dailies contributed immensely to the research and development of the same. The media group (newspaper) has become the platform for improving written Karbi language, as the language has no written form. Many young writers are involved in improving the language by setting rules and coining new words through research, open discussion, etc.{{Citation needed|date=August 2019}}<br />
