the issue of nyishis converting to islam…well dont really have the proof…but know a guy from my university days in delhi…he is a pakka nishi and arunachali..and when i say this i mean he loves his nishi culture..and prides on being an arunachali….he did his college and university education in itanagar..and was active in lots of student initiatives there.. he was the one who had referred to such conversions…maybe one could attribute this to the demands of inter religion marriage..

Thx for visiting

Again thx for pointing at yet more bloggers from Arunachal. let’s see if i’m able to find out their url’ss. if you happen to find out first do point it out.

Would you pl elaborate on Nyishis converting to Islam please? I haven’t heard of this before though conversions to Christianity and Hinduism is dime a dozen.
I do know that quite a few Nyishis(both men and women)have intermarried with Bangladeshi muslims who have come in great multitudes in Itanagar–maybe since Islam says you can’t marry a Muslim without conversion this came about?

AG,
There are several Harings blogging from AP but not about AP so I ignore them mostly. And one publicity-seeking Chakma refugeee(David).
Also one Khamti or Singhpo fellow(Chow Bilaseng?)from Namsai–sorry forgot their URL.

going with buru..it still is interesting to see why they are harping on 90k sqkm…both the sides seem confused…hahaha…in the process making us arunachalis confused…

a friend of mine..here in delhi wanted to study chinese…i told him, albeit jokingly…theres no point…u wont end up anywhere…cos theres no beijing and shanghai in ur life..better go for french or jap…

i think it makes sense in a way…the question of us interacting with the chinese hardly arises..with them not letting arunachalis visit china…its hard..

clamouring for arunachal seems to be the fad of the day…TOI reportedly gave two reports..one on hindi in assembly..and the other on tawang…and hindi…god..people seem to identify arunachal only with tawang..

quite a harmful trend for the mainland people to be following..if they want arunachal to be arunachal and not some chinese term…one day they will find that while they are still in awe of arunachali hindi in tawang and assembly…bangladeshi muslims would have outnumbered the locals..its happening..and some of my nishi friends tell me..some nishis have got themselves converted to islam…

food for thought…
