ITANAGAR, Nov 30: Governor BD Mishra and Chief Minister Pema Khandu have extended warm greetings to the people of the State on the occasion of Indigenous Faith Day and said that celebration of Indigenous Faith always enlightens the faith keepers and instils virtue in them.
In his message, the Governor said that faith and spiritual value system of various communities are their perpetual source of inspiration and guidance. Tolerance, compassion, kindness, and will to sacrifice for the common good are the manifestations of indigenous faith. It thus devolves on us to promote such occasions for the peace and well being of the people.  In a message here this evening, CM Khandu emphasized on the significance of the Indigenous Faith movement, particularly under the aegis of the Indigenous Faith and Cultural Society of Arunachal Pradesh (IFCSAP), that has successfully preserved and maintained the traditional customs and faiths of the indigenous tribes of the state in the age of rapid globalization.
Reminding everyone the popular idiom ‘Loss of culture is loss of identity’, he asserted the necessity to preserve the distinct indigenous identities of the various tribes of the state lest these are lost forever.
“On this occasion, I reiterate my message for propagation and use of indigenous languages by members of respective communities. Our indigenous languages are the strongest connect with our culture and if we lose them we will lose touch with our respective culture. Therefore, on this special day I call upon all parents and elders to inculcate in their wards the habit of speaking in their mother tongue at least at home,” the Chief Minister added.
