Mipi is a village and the headquarters of an eponymous circle in Dibang Valley district of the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh. Mipi HQ is located near the confluence of Andra River and Mathun River, tributaries of Dibang River.
History[edit]
Frederick Marshman Bailey passed through Mipi in March 1913. He describes the presence of Tibetans who had, years before, supposedly travelled in search of Pemako. Unsuccessful, they started returning to Tibet in 1909. By 1913, when Bailey visited Mipi, only those too old or ill to make the journey back to Tibet remained.[2][3] They were soon wiped out by the Idu.[4] Mipi has historically seen conflict between the Khamba and Idu tribes.[5] In 2017 British traveller Antonia Bolingbroke-Kent passed through Mipi, "Now Mipi was a tiny Idu settlement, just a few houses and a helipad splayed over a grassy spur above the river, girdled by an arc of trees."[2][3]
About[edit]
Mipi HQ has a population of 19 by the 2011 census.[1] The sub-district, Mipi Circle, has 102 households.[1] Anini Circle and Mipi Circle together together make up the Anini-Mipi community development block.[1] Following administrative changes, the block has been changed to Mipi-Anini-Alinye, adding Dambeun circle.[6]
