The Garo are a Tibeto-Burman ethnic group from the Indian subcontinent, living mostly in the Indian states of Meghalaya, Assam, Tripura, and Nagaland, and in neighboring areas of Bangladesh, including Madhupur, Mymensingh, Netrokona, Jamalpur, Sherpur and Sylhet, Rangamati. Historically, the name Garo was used for wide range of inhabitants in southern bank of Brahmaputra but now refers to those who call themselves A·chik Mande or simply A·chik or Mande - the name "Garo" being used by outsiders as an exonym. They are the second-largest tribe in Meghalaya after the Khasi and comprise about a third of the local population.
