About this listen

 In the lush valleys of Arunachal Pradesh, the Apatani tribe once faced a haunting dilemma—protecting their women from abduction by making them look undesirable. This episode delves into their painful yet fascinating history, where facial tattoos and wooden nose plugs became symbols of both beauty and sacrifice. A traveler’s journey to Ziro Valley unveils the cultural significance behind these practices, their gradual extinction, and the resilience of the Apatani people. How did these women live with a tradition born out of fear? Discover this untold story on Audio Pitara! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
