Pipe Smoker - India/Myanmar

in hive-184714 •  3 years ago 

In february 2020 I visited Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland, two region in north east India, near Myanmar border
People are animist, christian, buddhist, hinduist, muslims, and they live in peace.
There is a fight to separate Nagaland from India, but most of people think that it is better to be under India protection instead of China, because Nagaland itself has not enough resources to be indipendent.
This couple lives in a village in Arunachal Pradesh. The old man was smoking her pipe, and the woman belongs to Apatani tribes, known for the pieces of wood in their nose to make them ugly and to confirm the membership to the tribe. Only old women use this practice, not younger ones, so this tradition will be loosen. Piece of wood is on the side of the nose, so she can breathe well.
