आदिवासी को असभ्य बताने की असली वजह क्या थी? | Why Were Tribals Called “Savage” | Nyshi Tribe

For decades, the Nyishi tribe of Arunachal Pradesh was labeled as “Dafla” — a name many in the community considered insulting and rooted in colonial prejudice. But why were one of Northeast India’s most powerful tribal societies portrayed as “uncivilized”? In this episode, we uncover the hidden history of the Nyishi people, their warrior traditions, decentralized system of governance, and the fear they created among powerful empires like the Ahoms and the British. From the controversial “posa system” to the politics of identity and renaming, this story reveals how tribal communities were misrepresented in history and official records. A powerful journey into the forgotten history of resistance, dignity, and indigenous identity in Arunachal Pradesh.
