As the saying goes –
Heroes get remembered but Legends never die
Such is ABOTANI, the primeval ancestor
Progenitor of Tani tribes –Adi, Nyishi, Galo,Tagin and Apatani
Are the descendents five.
Mountains of Arunachal is your humble abode
A Hunter, a gatherer like none-
Acquainted rearing of rice to folks
Your legends stand Innumerable
But I find one remarkable
Being captured by Digo- Ane people
For you trailed your beloved Kiipu & Duumpoo
Had a trick up your Sleeves
Play possum, put people in tenterhooks
Behold at long last , free as a bird
Laden with gifts of rice & maize seeds you returned.
Note :-
*Digo-Ane : ‘Digo’ means ‘Land’ , ‘Ane’ means ‘Mother’**Digo Ane people : keepers of land** Kiipu : his petdog and Duumpoo : his pet deer
