She was born in the small coal mining township of Borjan in the Indian state of Nagaland. Her father, Minakanta Hazarika, was a doctor who spent most of his life serving the poor in the Naga hills. A great Assamese literary author, Atul Chandra Hazarika was her maternal uncle who later became Karabi's chief source of literary inspiration. Born amidst the green hills, lush forests and rivers instilled an early love and awe for nature in her that is echoed in her literary works in later years, especially her poems.

In the year 1969, she secured first class (ranked 11th in her school) with the highest grades in Assamese in the higher secondary examination from Phuleswari Girl's Higher Secondary School. Three years later, she became the first student ever to secure first class in Assamese at Dibrugarh University by receiving first class honours in Assamese from Sibsagar Girl's College. In 1974, she post-graduated in Assamese, topping her class at Gauhati University and went on to complete a doctorate from the same institute under the guidance of famed scholar Maheshwar Neog. The title of her doctoral research was Madhavdeva: His Life, Art and Thoughts. In 1980, she married educationist and fellow academic Dr. Kandarpa Kumar Deka. She has two sons. CareerAcademic lifeDr. Deka Hazarika joined the Assamese department of Dibrugarh University on 24 September 1976 as an Assistant Professor and went on to become an Associate Professor and Professor. Later, she became the distinguished Lakshminath Bezbarooah Chair in the same department. She is also currently acting as the Dean of Humanities and Social Sciences at Dibrugarh University and as an advisor to Dr. Bhupen Hazarika Centre for Studies in Performing Arts. The establishment of the Centre for Performing Arts is considered a significant milestone in Professor Hazarika's career. The Centre was established in 2008 with Prof. Hazarika as the Founding Director and has contributed substantially in shaping up the foundation of performing arts as an academic discourse. For the first time in Northeast India, the Centre began offering B.A and M.A programs in fields such as Music, Dance and Theatre. Prof. Hazarika is credited with bringing academic purview into art forms like classical dance prevalent for over five centuries in Vaishnavite Monasteries (Xatras) in Assam by adding them to the M.Phil and Ph.D syllabus. Prof. Hazarika is an accomplished educationist. A substantial number of researchers have worked under her supervision. Her contributions from 1991 as the Lead Coordinator of the Department of Assamese include turning the Department into a centre of excellence under the University Grants Commission's (UGC) and the Department of Special Assistance along with Centre for the Advanced Studies-II initiative. Literary lifeDr. Deka Hazarika's literary style is multifaceted. Her first poem ‘Anjali’, containing patriotic fervour based on Indo-China war of 1962, was published in the newspaper ‘Asom Bani’ when she was in fifth grade. Afterwards, her interest in poetry and writings grew as she began publishing frequently in the children's corners of newspapers and magazines like ‘Asom Bani’, ‘Dainik Asom’, ‘Asom Batori’, ‘Deepak’, etc. Her mother Hiraprobha Hazarika and maternal uncle Atul Cahndra Hazarika were constant source of encouragement. Witnessing literary meet-ups of Assam's literary elite in her uncle's house left an impact on the young girl's literary pursuits. In the 1970, Hazarika entered the new world of Assamese poetry with her own style. Her publications in magazines such as ‘Nagarik’, ‘Prakash’, ‘Saptahik Nilachal’, ‘Prantik’, etc. soon captured the attention of both readers as well as critics. Since then, through her sizeable contribution, both in quality and quantity, to Assamese poetry, Hazarika has one of the most prominent poets in Assam. Her poems are expressions of tender self immersed musings tinged with sharp insights into social discourses. Her poems of the early youth are charming in their recollections of love and separation. Most of her poems are made of brief stanzas thick with emotions. Her most common motifs were river, night, and dew. Although primarily a poet of personal musings, her poems also brilliantly discussed many social issues such as in the poem, "Suli Nebandhiba Jagyasini (Don’t plait your hair Jagyasini). Similarly, poems like ‘Sita’, ‘Raj Pothto Draupadi', and ‘Jwalamukhi’ have echoed empathy and solidarity with the women's rights movement. Poems like ‘Neel Junaki’ (Blue Firefly), ‘Porir Banhi’ (Fairy's Flute), ‘Jol Kunworir Saa’, ‘Buku Jurai Aanhe’, ‘Bakhyahin’, ‘Jonmo Nuhua Sualijoni (Unborn Daughter), ‘Siyang', etc. on the other hands delights the readers through their universal aesthetics. Hazarika has also created a considerable fan base as a lyricist and she is often played by the All India Radio. Tender with layered meanings, her songs portrays the bittersweet feelings of love and its absence, one’s interaction with the nature around, as well as issues pertaining to society at large. Karabi Deka Hazarika’s most significant contribution to the contemporary trends of Assamese literature, however, has been the initiation of a new trend of travel literature in Assamese. Through a corpus of five travelogues, accounts of her forays into the lands of Americas, China, Maldives and Greece, she has refined the art of travel writing in Assamese. In her travel accounts, she often mentions the cultural and historical contexts of the places she visits and puts them in contemporary socio-political-ecological perspectives. Dotted with interesting anecdotes and entertaining back stories, her travel books has become happy reads across generations. Deka Hazarika is also an accomplished literary critic. She has published books on the ancient as well the evolving and modern aspects of Assamese literature. Many of her research papers and journals on similar themes are spread across different volumes. Poetry is her favourite topic of discussion. Books like "Asomiya Kobita’, ‘Asomiya Kobi Aru Kobita’, ‘Kobitar Rup Chaya’, ‘Adhunikotar Puhorot Asomiya aru Bangla Kobita’, etc. reflects her unique insights into the trends of Assamese poetry. Her scholastic work on ‘Madhavdev, Kola Aru Dorxon’ is especially important in the field of religious research in Assam. Some of the prominent works that has established her as an illustrious editor are ‘Ehajar Bosoror Asomiya Kobita’, ‘Bezbaroar Rachna Chayan’, ‘Kirtan Gosha aru Naam Gosha’ , ‘Seemar Poridhi Bhangi’, ‘Bangla Suti Golpo’, and ‘Ramayanar Saneki' . One of Deka Hazarika’s favourite genre of writing is children’s literature. She has authored many stories and poems that resonates well with the language and psyche of the children and adolescents. These writings explore the esoteric life-worlds of children made up of fantasies and adventures, with frequent forays into the animal kingdom and the other extravaganzas offered by a bountiful nature. Her use of simple language, wit, and her portrayal of everyday life that connects with children’s minds sets her apart from other children’s literature authors. ‘Anupama. Aruna, Kusum, Ityadi’ is a unique testament to the struggle of Assamese women for equal rights and recognition. The narrative revolving around the main character Kusum portrays the different evolving stages in the battle for equal status by Assamese women, both within and outside the household, in the larger social realm. Prof. Hazarika is also a well admired name in translating literature into Assamese. Her Assamese translation of the award-winning Konkani novel ‘Karmeline’ has been well received.
