Two Arunachal tribes sign ‘historic’ pact

Two tribes of Arunachal Pradesh, Adi and Apatani, have signed a "joint declaration" to do away with their traditional revenge practice, and promote inter-tribe marriages and cultural exchanges. The declaration was signed between Adi Bane Kebang (ABK) and Tanii Supun Dukun (TSD) -- the apex bodies of the two tribes at Pasighat, the headquarters of the Adi-dominated East Siang district, during the first Adi-Apatani Summit of 2025 in the presence of Chief Minister Pema Khandu. The declaration adopted 13 resolutions including non-imposition of customary laws of one tribe on the other, be given precedent for any dispute resolution, any criminal or civil offence committed by individuals or groups not to be allowed to be tagged as a communal issue. There were instances where people used to resort to traditional revenge systems, such as attack in response to an attack, theft to counter a theft or destroy crops. The declaration will prevent such practices aiding in conflict and communal tension.
