The same goes for states like Arunachal Pradesh albeit with a miniscule population but a large number of different ethnicities and cultures and dialects. It has now become a fashion to talk about indigenous cultures and traditions which are still maintained by village heads and traditional priests in remote areas. Arunachal Pradesh truly renders a distinctive culture as it is comprised of many major tribes including various sub-tribes. Each tribe follows its own exclusive traditions and customs. Arunachal Pradesh is perhaps one of the most linguistically diverse states in Asia. More than 50 dialects of the Tibeto-Burman language structure can be observed here. 

But have we maintained all these cultural and linguistic diversities in the third millennium is the moot question. The progress of a nation depends on the progress of its people and their language, traditions and cultural affinities. Isn’t it time the government took serious steps to propagate the local languages, at least the major ones, at the national level for preserving the rich cultural heritage of the state as politicians often claim at different fora?
