I am from assam.. actually Bhupen Hazarika is more famous because of his meaningfull songs and music rather than poems

[@rekbeng6702]

Ashish sir has an insightful knowledge about northeast and Arunachal Pradesh in particular. Impressive demeanour and thanks to the host for showing your keenness towards the alienated brothers of India 🇮🇳. 👍👍

Very informative video, Sir Ashish Kundra seems like such a humble and gentle soul. Awesome and informed interviewer unlike some TH-camr who acts so dumb lol ♥ from Nagaland

[@jaydeep-p]

2 hours and only 800 views

[@sauravbhattacharjee5450]

Arunachal has no state board of education it is all managed under central i.e cbse and a lot of Kendriya Vidyalaya, VKV etc. Hence the super good Hindi

[@sololoner1559]

That sucks tho should have one local language to use throughout the state

[@sauravbhattacharjee5450]

@@sololoner1559 hindi does the job very well

[@amandeep9930]

Northeastern people don't like to talk much to mainlanders for some reason.

[@TopGvishal]

what is mainlander? is this china?

[@TopGvishal]

people dont like to talk because u all are racist 99.99%

[@varunkhugshal9049]

Mainland is stupid term.

[@gujjewman96]

​@@TopGvishal northeast Indians aren't ethnically same as North India/South India. That's why they call rest of India as 'mainland'.

[@TopGvishal]

@@gujjewman96my point is who decides what is main land? North and south are also different to each other. Everyone is different so again what is mainland?

[@karanbirsinghcheema4825]

Not Hindi not watching

[@-VAJRA-]

Hindi main type kar na toh Chomu

[@boulevard7863]

​@@-VAJRA- the chomu meant the video is in hindi so he isn't watching. No problem with angrezi but have problems with hindi. You know Kaale angrez. Masters have left in 1947 but tails are still here.

[@rakhimukerji7937]

There are reasons why they did not learn hindi Missionaries were very active and they learned English
