About Us

Assertiveness is not what you do, it’s who you are – Cal Le Mon.

In this blog, we express our ideas, opinions and aspirations about our Yobin/Lisu people of India. Because for the last four decades, the State Government of Arunachal Pradesh systematically oppressed us. They have taken away our Scheduled Tribe status, considered us a refugee (till 1995), cut off all road communications, and then declared our land as National Park. These are unfair treatments to us and they continue to do so.

Join us with academic knowledge, suggestions and prayers. Below is brief introduction about the contributors.
