How slavery is a way of life in some pockets of Arunachal Pradesh

- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- In Arunachal's East Kameng district, for generations, the Nyishi & Miji tribes have 'owned' members of Puroik community. In March 1999, the district administration passed an order banning the feudal practice after over 3000 Puroiks were found to as 'bonded labourers'. But, 23 years on, members of the tribe continue to be 'bought'. Watch this ground report by ThePrint's Angana Chakrabarti.

I really like the northeast episodes that you guys are doing. Keep it up.
Much appreciated for highlighting this issue. The print 🤝 (can't believe The Print and the reporter is so grounded... reporting from far flung areas!)
Also report about Assam slaves in Arunachal
Thanks for coming our sanngchu village 😊😊wish u visit against...
If China had not gone back than these people will be living a rich life.
24 hours power, schools, housing, running water and jobs.
But I dont understand Arunachal ppl still loves India even India gave them poverty, disrespect and racism.
Indian Security forces and Indian Railways must give jobs to NE brothers.
Lol! Really? Just like the Han Chinese are giving a "rich life" to the Uighurs, Tibetans, Mongolians? Would you want to wipe out the cultural and linguistic beauty and diversity of many countless unique and ancient tribes in our North East and be subservient to the Han Chinese? There are many problems in India and such independent and free journalism helps countless number of Indians in asking the right questions and holding our democratic and pluralistic institutions accountable. I am quite sure people in the Home Ministry must have seen this. I only hope that the concerned institutions help the Puroiks FAST enough..
Well it's their love for our country like all of us we don't have the best life but we are trying and one day will take each and everyone of us towards a better life it won't be easy even then but we will strive for better and raise voice for each and everyone of us.

I'm so glad that the national media 'Print' highlited this issue. I myself as a arunachali wasn't aware of this occurence in our state. I hope this video brings light to all the ignorant people like me in the state and as a youth, we should aware and teach the young minds and other people in the state about this very issue. Thankyou print, I really appreciate your work.
Forget Arunachal, even in Delhi, unorganised labourers work in factories where they are not paid for 6 months. They cannot leave the job because of the dues, and factory owners exploit them fully. If someone dies in an accident, their family members don't even get to know. The owners dispose of the bodies in connivance with the police. No compensation is paid to the family.
What are we even talking about?
Thank you the Print for covering my Arunachal. You guys did something out own State media mostly shy away from. Hope this will make the people in power to finally address this issue.
They require physical and economical help and assistance from the government to settle themselves freely without any bandages.
But Arnab who is from northeast will shout about something stupid!
Nice one Angana! Wish you and the team The Print all the best for bringing more light into issues related to northeast

Great coverage by print for being so grounded and to reach far flung areas. Thank you for unearthing such social bondage prevailing.
Hi Nage,
Glad that you liked this section. We strive to bring more such ground reports for our viewers. Do keep following us.
Thank you the print media from wholehearted for news coverage evenI'm surprise that the print media went and cover this practice. Yeah I do believe, this been practicing since puroik community come under privileged category so no any opportunity for them. That's why the whole puroik community dependent on nyishi community by accepting themselves for a bonded labour or even they start selling their children for.
The main cause is because of ''they come underprivileged category and no jobs opportunity''.
But I thank to East kameng people, they are showing solidarity toward puroik community and releasing. But I surprised and want appeal Kurung Kumey administration to pls let them free and let them live their free life. So pls take note on this.
Thanks again the print media especially media persons who went there and for ground reporting all with clues and with reality.🙏
No lagi re ngo nyulo. Hugu ngo Kurung Kumey hm agh ale bingdng.
I thank for the information being provided by Ms. Angana. It is very important that border area are look after by the government. It is very sad that bonded labour are still practice by the common people due to economic condition. I hope many people are well educated and get a job. I thank DC for taking action and building school for the poor people. I feel like crying after seeing the labourer condition. I hope government take serious and do good for the common people.
Bhai mera Hindi meh bol deta.... Anyways Arunachalee here and I call for abolishing such practices and condemning such practices. I hope now that a major main stream media power house has covered it our state legislatures will pay attention.
Hindi is not language of arunachal pradesh. Stop. Hindi imposition.
@@samritichoudhary714 but Haflong hindi is used
@Ranjeet Kumar no they will not. We use english for that purpose. Not hindi. Moreover tamil is oldest language and second language of singapore. Why should we communicate in hindi. Stop hindi imposition.
@Ranjeet Kumar better than being gobar bhakat and eating gobar all day
Please keep following this topic. Also Article 371H, if it impedes the legislation that is required to free these people, needs to be amended.
Hi Riicho,
Thanks for writing in
@@ThePrintIndia you are welcome.
The slavery was abolished in many areas of Arunachal by paying the owners a certain amount of compensation during the 60s as per my grandfather who saw that slaves were released and set free... If such an approach would have been facilitated today with the economic support for such families would have been a proper solution... Awed by the existence of slavery till today when the world has moved much ahead...
Unless the victims doesn't get economic freedom they will stay helpless and will have to depend on the so called "Maliks." Education, Govt. measures and secure jobs i believe will solve this cultural issues.
I've heard of this from my Nyishi friends. Hope it can stop for the times to come.
China brought 500 million people out of poverty, and that's about the same number of people India has in extreme poverty.
India brought 271 million people out of poverty since 1991.
BTW , according to world poverty clock 85 million indians live in extreme poverty , not 500 million
Get your facts right.
china has no freedom. India should not take China as a role model.
Indian Gov should include Puroik community under budget to get them out of proverty and also should provide all kind of support .
How many of you follow The Print for English Content and The Lallantop for Hindi content, thereby completing your journalism hunger. Imo these two are sufficient for an awakened Indian from Hindi belt. What you say?
Life in Ruural India so much to know.. Follow...
Why not think of something bigger beyond just building a residential school ? The state police, railways, state transport etc could employ some low skilled people at least at lower levels, perhaps even the army can use some people and provide steady employment to build some confidence in the community. Once the community gains some self confidence the Puroik people will themselves start fighting against this practice.
Slavery still prevailing in Nyishi community, people those who are educated and rich should surrender it first hence this evil system will eradicate soon. Very disheartened to know it as still our educated people doing it
Is is really pleasant to see that the media person is striving for truth and can go this extent to unearthed the ground reality. This kind of social issue is need to be addressed in high level and the institution like Human Right Organization etc should intervene the matter and resolve it amicably with the help of constitution ammendments.
Request to all the Masters of said Community, please let them live their life and get some blessings from them because you are already doing good in your life 🙏
7:18 .. Report - apko larki bikri krne se lenge?
Uncle - Lena prega😂 what a savage 😂
Never heard such news, though am from North East. Hope the government will take stringent step to tackle such inhuman practices. Thanks @ThePrint for the highlight.
Thanks for making this video, and making us aware of things we couldn't even think of.
I hope the govt. pays attention to this and makes the situation better for people of these communities.
Our country still has a long way to go.
50 years of Cngressssss wah what a development
It is not a legal problem but more of a socioeconomic problem. Couldn't the administration come up with any upskilling and employment programs in 20+ yrs??
do bonded labourers get paid 🤨🤨
There was a slavery or bounded labour in mishmi areas of arunachal too.. Thankfully people accepted the change with time and it's totally abolished from mishmi society
So atleast some media house do care about north east
thanks for the covering, it is difficult for you to broadcast it as an Africa media

Old grandpa was so honest.
Finally this issues has been taken National. Kudos to The Print.
Kudos! The Print💐🥀Awesome presentation.

Gov asleep at the wheel? This shouldn't be allowed
Brilliant journalism,naming and shaming our society and institutions is absolutely the need of the times right now!!
a
dont ignore north east india, mr modi.
In ancient some of the people were also slaves in upper subansiri.. Dominated by tagins
Mara tagins used to keep nyishis as slaves
Yaa tagin used to become slave for one packet of salt .. they were soo close to china that .. they forget they are in india.. soo thanks to Indian govt for road connectivity in ur village
@@abcb1683actually tagins used to be slaves in earlier days
Myself as the state resident had no clue about the existence of bonded slavery in practice in Arunachal, much delighted n appreciate the outstanding journalism to The Print broadcasters🎉

Sad
Good journalism
it may not be true that the Puroik have migrated, because according to some that i know they originated there only near their villages. the nyishi are known to have migrated as per their oral history. also the number of communities are so many and live across vast areas where its difficult to know properly if everywhere there was bonded labour because of loads. Aggression seems to be an issue. whatever it is, it seems to particularly affect just the Puroik. timely needed report. thank you.
Both migrated.
But puroik migrated to present day first.
Nyishis came later
@@abcb1683 migrated from where ? It's highly unlikely Puroik have been in arunachal for 9000 years. Nyishi for 4000. Migrations are not relevant or of consequence given how long these languages Nishi and puroik have been spoken and many languages have been in arunachal
Excellent coverage.....True Journalism
Sadly also in Rajasthan!
Where ?
And in which communities ?
wonderful work by The print ....god bless you

Also I am not surprised about Kurung Kumey. My tribe, the Apatani, has lived alsongside Nyishis for a long time. Fought with them sometimes too. But the Nyishi's near us (i.e. Ziro) have always had a good relation with us.
However Nysishis from Kurung Kumey are known to be very aggressive people in among my people. So not surprised at all that no Puroik has been freed there.
How many tribes are there? And are Nyishis near your tribe called Ziro?
@@AkshatSharma1505 Ziro is the name of the place. And I guess, around 26 tribes.
It is confusing really.
@@AkshatSharma1505 also I have written, in no uncertain terms, "My tribe, the Apatani,..."
@@riichobamin7612 Sorry, I'd just woke up and was zoned out while reading comments. I hope you excuse me. So, tell me more please, what's the economy there? What's the social structure? Are women relatively free?
Back in those days slave trade was very common.
My grandfather used to tell that people of bulla village used to sell Miri and Nyishis as slaves in our hija village in exchange for ornaments.
This is so interesting. Thank you for the coverage
Terrific reporting
Humbled
contemptible, ain't it. but if your choice was starvation or slavery, it becomes 'voluntary.'
the cure is only partly law. just as important is providing employment.
if the modi government tolerates this, charge modi with a crime, maybe send him to the icc?
Good job
Bonded labour was not only confined to Nyishis but was common among the Hrusso Aka with Buguns (Khoa) and Sajolang (Miji) with Puroiks
Slavery and slave was very common and prevalent in Tibet and Arunachal area back in old days.
People with more resources used to keep others with no arable land, less resources and hungry people as slaves or labours.
Nyishis used to take puroik as slaves.
Adis and Galos used to take miris as slaves.
Apatanis used to keep miris, puroiks and nearby nyishis as slaves
(which was mistaken as "caste system" by britishers)
Aka hrusso also had this system with buguns

@@abcb1683waah gyani baba ..Only Nyishi from upper belt made puriok as slave .. because purioks were dumb peoples those day.. and Any others tribes has never practice this system... They were lucky to have such purioks as neighbour...👌
@@Shenok2001 you need more knowledge lol. Only nysihis didn't keep slaves

Perhaps some progress could be made by systematically identifying the "masters" and hanging them. Whatever possessions and property they had could then be given directly to the people they had enslaved.
We need another Charu Majumdar
That has worked amazingly well in every part of the world. 🔥
@@Raj80191 Charu Majumdar died and his movement failed.
The Naxalbari movement failed, and landowners still rule the roost in the Naxalbari village, where the Naxal movement began.
"Revolutionary violence" hardly ever works. Instead, strict enforcement of existing laws by the state machinery is the best way going forward.
