In many of our folklore it has been mentioned about Talley valley, so I guess there must be connection between Taniis and Talley valley. This word Talley is original Tanii word for one of the eadible leafy vegetable which is locally found in the vicinity of Ziro and also heard from my friends that a plenty of Talley vegetable grows there (that must be the reason behind calling that place as TALLEY VALLY-literally-valley of TALLEY). Apart from watching some documentary from Doordarshan Kendra Itanagar on Talley valley and few snaps taken by my friends, I myself never got a chance to visit this place(my fingers are crossed and wishing for my prayer to be granted-I really wanna visit some day by myself).<BR/><BR/>By the way, who is the second party you are talking about??? <BR/><BR/>Though my blog is not a correct place to discuss Politics ( I myself is a nonpolitical person too),still wondering who you are indicating!!! Predicting the future settlement, yes I am sure that people would be definitely settling there. Few years back there was a rumour saying that many of rich Taniis /non Taniis people have started building a guest houses (I am not sure how true is this rumour). And if you remember, once there was another a proposal of making Talley valley as Winter Capital of Arunachal Pradesh.Once if there is a proper road communications, I am sure people would love to live in such a nice place. But…but …but…since this place is coming under rich biodiversity hotspot zone, I am against the destruction of such place.I would rather say…no settlement in this valley…Save environment,save yourself!!!!!!savetaniihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10234852036854983087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7300052489950996309.post-85660378929325560982008-04-15T18:20:00.000+05:302008-04-15T18:20:00.000+05:30@Anonymous,It could have been more convinient for ...@Anonymous,<BR/>It could have been more convinient for me to adress you as sir or madam or directlly by your name :) Whatever, your concern on fast changing world of Taniis are greatly appreciated. <BR/><BR/>Regarding Supung Peni, such processions are only taken out after having seen the omens from a chicken livers.Many a time it happens that even if a person is performing a Murung, we can't take out Supung peni.In other words, there are some classifications of Murung which will be put up in this blog in coming future, so keep visitng.<BR/><BR/>Oh,I almost forgetten about the BABOs. The changing scenario on the erection of Babos could be because of environmental conciousness among taniis( to prevent deforrestation)...thats the first thing coming into my mind being a student. And another reason could be Taniis have become lazzier these days...I m not sure about the reason behind this scene :)savetaniihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10234852036854983087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7300052489950996309.post-1372197448958923312008-04-15T07:39:00.000+05:302008-04-15T07:39:00.000+05:30Can anyone confirm for sure whether Taniis initial...Can anyone confirm for sure whether Taniis initially settled in Talle Valley in the past before settling down in Ziro?( I wouldnt be surprised if they did, as it is very similar to Ziro, just colder)<BR/><BR/> I was told so by an Apatani once,but since the area is also claimed by another party I presumed the story could have been motivated?<BR/><BR/> Is there any realistic chance of Taniis settling there in the future due to population explosion?<BR/> I understand few families already tried and then abandoned it after a few years in the 90's.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7300052489950996309.post-2626842762194470862008-04-15T00:06:00.000+05:302008-04-15T00:06:00.000+05:30Save Tanii, good work to preserved Abotani traditi...Save Tanii, good work to preserved Abotani traditions and customs alive in this fast changing globalisation.In recent, societical development in Tanii plateua,be it religion or culture there has been seen many changed, for example MURUNG festival in january this year, a world most unique religious procession popularly called SUPUNG PEN is either of 07 different Tanii villages is not seen or heard.<BR/>And in recent concluded MYOKO festival only few BABOO has seen in host villages.Such a thing happening around should also observed,so as to awaken people conscience to save true value of Tanii.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7300052489950996309.post-56237996170164201392008-03-01T14:30:00.000+05:302008-03-01T14:30:00.000+05:30Hi Sid,Thanks for your appreciation of this blog. ...Hi Sid,<BR/>Thanks for your appreciation of this blog. You're right when you say that the globalisation process can destroy native languages in only a few decades, this has already taken place in many parts of the world. Let's hope it won't happen in AP. Having said that, I think we should not oppose native languages and global languages. People need both, and ideally both should be taught to children either at school or inside the family. Many studies have shown that children who are taught in their mother-tongue at primary school obtain better results than others...

Recently, I visited the Ziro plateau and I really enjoyed my stay there. <BR/>In ur blog u have mentioned the fact, that people here are slowly forgetting their own culture. This is very true. I know many families here in Nirjuli, who teach their children Hindi rather then Apatani or Nishi or any other native language. Earlier, I used to wonder why the people are doing that. Later, I realized that the languages here are so varied that Hindi is the only medium which helps in inter-communication. Having said that, I think the younger generation should do more to preserve their own culture. Cultures and civilizations are made over centuries, but the globalisation can destroy these in mere decades. <BR/>Finally, very nice blog.
