Mainland Indian media celebrating transfer of two IAS officers to
#Arunachal
and
#Ladakh
from Delhi for walking their dog after stadium closing time is what metro media is all about. Furthering the deep prejudice against border states and inability to ask valid questions.
I can’t write in Hindi so this. Prime minister is not a mor but a hornbill! The headgear he is wearing is called Pudum, worn by Nyishi Tribe of Arunachal. It’s an artificial beak!hope someday you will learn to respect hornbills, diversity, conservation and tribals!Best wishes
Owaisi opposing the introduction of the bill spoke about Arunachal in the morning. Who would have thought someone from down south would say something about Arunachal when our own MPs have gone mute under pressure from BJP.
#Arunachal
, please buy newspapers. We are going through a tough time. If there is no improvement in situation that we are in currently, there will be job cuts soon. salary anyway is shitty. Please support local papers.
Amazed at coverage TV anchor Arnab Goswami is getting from journalists.Wish Kishorechandra from Manipur,Amit Topno from Jharkhand &Aasif Sultan from Kashmir had the same the support.Amit is dead.He reported on Pathalgadi. Kishorechandra and Aasif are in jail under NSA and UAPA.
The cctv footages and destroyed computers seized by police after Arunachal Times was attacked in 2012 is missing. I am yet to find out whether its missing from police or judicial custody. I am tired. how long do we wait? Eights years and counting.

When Arunachal got its first
#COVID19
positive patient in Tezu, there was fear, anger and confusion. Dr Sajinglu Chai Pul, DMO, Lohit did what she had to do. Fought all odds, admitted the patient and her team took over. The person recovered and was discharged today!
Aiya fellow journalists, please don’t ask me how is the ground situation here. Talk to army and ask central govt. there is always troop movement because Arunachal is a border state, one of most militarised zones in the world. No, we don’t want war. Don’t start one from newsroom.
"If my language shakes the foundations of your state, that means you have built your state on my land" Musa Anter, a Kurdish intellectual said. Those who have no respect for language diversity of India should just shut up. My language is as important yours.

When media history of BJP’s undeclared emergency in India is written,
@AltNews
will be cited as an example of courage, debunking misinformation without fear. Proud of you
@zoo_bear
@free_thinker
and the team. Thank you for your amazing service to this nation.
Romanticising remoteness of Arunachal is lazy journalism. Not one sentence on how people deal with lack of road facility. Ask unimportant questions that matters. Lack of road means people dying of treatable malaria, diarrhoea, ectopic pregnancies. Anyone asked price of salt?
Aap haamra desh ko nagrik ho... you are citizen of this country... Imagine being told that in your own country. Dont tell that to us and the women who were quarantined because they look diifrent.. Tell rest of India that India wont be without Northeast. India is ugly.
10 years ago survived an assassination attempt that has left me suffering. Anxious, prone to
#depression
and
#PTSD
, a grazed spine that has led to chronic pain, not knowing when to pee, constant fear of bowel obstruction. Wednesday, I will give a statement to the court. Funny
this day, 10 years ago i survived a gun shot. Let down by
#Arunachal
police and court. age has taught me forgiveness yet i look for a closure amidst mental, physical illnesses. was lost. found my way back thanks to colleagues, well wishers, readers, friends, family. Cheers
Many reporters and experts often link landslides and floods in Northeast to climate change. It’s true weather pattern has changed drastically but it’s mostly because of constructions. need to look at unplanned, unscientific“development” initiated by state and union govt.
Lol
Remember the anti dam graffiti on controlled river mural in
#Itanagar
that led to arrest of two? The
#hydropower
wall/dam breached because of heavy rain. PC: SM
Congratulations due!
21 years as a journalist. That’s more than half of my life, and I have enjoyed it. Most of that time has been spent with The Arunachal Times. lucky to have a boss who supports me and a brilliant team that works hard each day to bring news that matters.
To
Apatani tribe evolved an ingenious way of manufacturing salt. Maize or lai leaves are charred to ashes, mixed with water, evaporated, the residue wrapped in leaf, and smoked over a wood fire. The result is a natural dark vegetarian salt called tapiyo...

The mother language of many urban Arunachalees will be Arunachalee Hindi in coming years. Its upto the parents to decide which they language they prefer but a part of our culture will be gone if we dont start speaking our languages.
#InternationalMotherLanguageDay
Sarma is a vile Bamun. I hope the media bodies in Assam will protect their Muslim colleague from humiliation, and Islamophobia by forcing the Chief Minister to apologize
Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma rebuked a reporter over his religious identity after the reporter asked a question on hill cuttings in his constituency Jalukbari.
Sarma asked him whether they (Muslims) will allow them (Hindus) to live in Assam, citing "demographic change".
Got this pic via WA. Arunachalee women! You see them everywhere from paddy fields, vegetable markets, offices to kitchen...it’s just that you rarely hear from them. Guess, it’s action speaks louder!
Assam and Mizoram chief ministers frantically tweeting tagging Amit Shah while people were dying and injured. No body in union govt give a shit about people dying here in our region. It’s a much needed distraction for them. Stop this bullshit and get to work to restore peace.
Ordered some stuff online. Two of the delivery guys asked for selfies. I thought it’s the norm now so asked others for selfies even before they said anything. Major embarrassment.
as an Arunachalee it’s difficult to process religious animosity, hatred and casteism in rest of the country. we have our share of issues but Arunachalees are taught to respect various religions, habits and cultures. That’s been the core of multicultural tribal
#arunachal
society.
Mom and Tumpuluk on way back home from paddy field.When they are not fighting they have deep conversations about insect pests that’s been eating the paddy plants in
#Pasighat
and elsewhere in Siang valley.
Got a feeling that my 3 year old niece will end up as a typical Arunachalee politician. Whenever a campaign group passes by she joins the chorus. When she hears Congress Zindabad, she says Congress zindabad. If it’s a BJP group, she goes BJP zindabad!
I grew up in North East. I ate every living thing including dogs & snakes. Pakis making fun of dal-chawal in my Tweet below, relax. After eating 4 animals, don’t try to be heroes. I have eaten the bloody zoo, including grasshoppers. Now, I eat dal chawal. Major badal gaya hai.
8 months old baby, two girls-9 and 8 years old died today in Itanagar Capital region landslides. If state, families and communities can’t ensure a safe environment for our children, what are we for? These were preventable deaths. It’s numbing.
#Mentalhealth
has cost me a lot. Wasted opportunities, broken relationships and financial fluctuations. Sometimes wish things were different but so proud to come this far. Thankful to my loved ones who nurture me each day. Sending 💜 and strength to all struggling.
You can’t beat the Arunachalees! we know how to celebrate. This video I am told is of Lumla in Tawang district cheering the candidate who lost in PRIs election. “Harney se bhi koi baat nei. Koi baat nei, koi baat nei”
#ArunachalPradesh
That’s why Kiren’s effigy was burnt and students are out protesting today in Itanagar. They are chanting his name for betraying the citizens. Kiren Rijiju should be ashamed of himself. He represents himself and BJP. Not me.
My mother is a farmer and always in the kheti. Bored already after two days in Itanagar so my cousin handed her some seeds. Now she is figuring out what will grow in concrete and pots!
A wall has become a protest site in
#Itanagar
No more dam painted over hydro mural to celebrate 50th year of renaming
#Arunachal
.
Protest and art go hand in hand. Not too late!
lol
They dont hide it anymore!
Roads are for national security and the hydro power companies. It was never about the indigenous communities.
#Arunachal
Twitter gives you more freedom than editors, publishers who are under pressure to toe the govt line. Reason why some reporters tweet really good stuff but their reporting is as good as govt press releases. Not the fault of reporters. risk of losing job for doing the job is real.
Important Alert.
In order to check trafficking of illicit drugs, all incoming vehicles from Mizoram will be thoroughly checked by Assam Police personnel on all the entry points along the Assam Mizoram border.
There are so many young people into drugs here in
#ArunachalPradesh
. Almost every home has or knows someone dependent on drugs. It has reached a point where families are so desperate that opium and marijuana are seen as acceptable options. It’s heartbreaking.
#Diwali
is extremely hard for me. Am not alone. Those who survived gun violence or witnessed it, any loud noise is triggering, gets worse this time of the year.
#PTSD
is lifelong for some of us, even with best of care.
in 60s an Indian Army chap landed in
#ArunachalPradesh
and named two villages after his children. Preetnagar and Vijaynagar. Another one landed and named a village after Gandhi. Appropriation at its peak.
internet service will be suspended from 9:30 am to 1 pm on 1 August in many towns of Arunachal. Reason? There is APSSB exam tomorrow. I am waiting for some lawyer or citizen to take the govt to court for such illogical impositions.
Checked into a Mumbai hotel where they asked for our passports specifically instead of an icard. Lol the desk guy looked surprised but did not say sorry for being presumptuous when one of us gave an aadhaar card as id proof.
#Mumbai
Amazing so many Arunachalees are celebrating scrapping of rights and very identity of Kashmiris. The same people that violently refused PRC to non tribals who have called Arunachal home for decades. Double standard exposed. It's us next so look for BEFR experts.
#KashmirBleeds
Switching career soon. I am going to be a politician.
Imagine most bowing before me and saying yes to everything i say. On top of that there will be someone holding a huge umbrella for me. Arunachalee politicians are blessed. No questions asked, no accountability. Such fun.
Congratulate me!
attended a play, concert, two football matches, ate out, been to a public event, helped my parents organize a big get-together and restarted a hobby without experiencing a major episode of anxiety or panic attacks in last ten days.

should not end with Twitter storm. Now, we have to do our part. Writing our own stories, history without dilution or linking with mainland India. We are different, our history is filled with blood sponsored by Indian state. Difficult but doable.
May we never forget that Indian govt abandoned the people of
#Manipur
. It’s unthinkable now but as always communities will find a way. Someday, there will be calm and reconciliation . No, it’s not about resilience.
Assam and rest of NE India states have been protesting since
#CitizenshipAmmendmentBill
was introduced in 2016. Why did India take so long to take note of the discriminatory bill in 2016? The protest erupted only after
#CitizenshipAmmendmentBill2019
was passed. Dont forget Assam
Between 2010-11, I wrote series of reports on the multicrore PDS scam in Arunachal involving many rich and powerful people including politicians. It was a difficult time because of constant telephonic threats. One day a letter was dropped at my apartment threatening to kill me.
Been to the District and Sessions Court, Yupia today. Two of the judges are tribal women. Happy to see women in judiciary. Also saw many female lawyers. Satisfying.
30 trains services cancelled or short terminated mostly originating from Assam. Arunachal and Tripura affected. If you thought only Assam will suffer, think again. If anything happens in Assam, Arunachal suffers as well, the entire region suffers.
#CitizenshipAmmendmentBill2019
I suffer from
#anxiety
and
#panicattacks
regularly and prone to clinical depression and
#PTSD
. I seek medical help whenever necessary. Most days, it’s absolutely fine, yet some days, it’s tough. colleagues, friends, and family have helped me cope. Do seek help.
#mentalhealth
Every northeast politician that supported
#CitizenshipAmmendmentBill2019
is responsible for what is happening in Assam. If northeast leaders had stayed united and opposed Shah and Modi's evil design we could have avoided it.
@NBirenSingh
had a 2 am meltdown and had this message for his bosses in Delhi. He didn’t address them directly but was responding to a mainland Indian.
This is what remains of Centre for Cultural Research and Documentation (CCRD), a repository of audio visual documentation of many tribes of the state. This was the only org that documented the changing culture and tribal stories of the state.
Kamtey Ringu is a documentary filmmaker. Since
#COVID2019
outbreak he is using FB, watched by thousands to update what’s happening with migrant workers and tribal poor in Itanagar. After watching his videos, many citizens have reached out to help the poor.
