I’m a middle-aged man, born and raised in Guwahati. My wife is from the hills of Nagaland and belongs to one of its indigenous tribes. We’ve been together for over 25 years and have raised two daughters.

Lately, I’ve been hearing worried whispers about how a couple from mainland India went missing during their honeymoon in Meghalaya. Suddenly, people are questioning the safety of the hills and painting its people with suspicion.

Let me offer a more grounded perspective, shaped by years of lived experience:

* Tribal people are not wired for premeditated violence or crime.
* They are fiercely independent and proud, but not hostile.
* Their social structure is deeply rooted in clan and tribal unity—individuals rarely act against their collective conscience.
* Loyalty to their land, tribe, and natural resources runs deep. This loyalty is sacred.
* Fringe elements, when they arise, are often dealt with internally by the community, not through the conventional criminal justice system.
* Yes, they can be extremely protective—especially when it concerns their land, water, and rights.
* Women in the hills enjoy freedom in ways that many parts of India are yet to catch up with. Be it in love or in livelihood, they make their own choices.
* For women travellers, the North-East remains one of the safest regions to explore—any time of the year.

Don’t let isolated incidents cloud your judgment. The people of the hills are among the most hospitable, honest, and dignified you’ll ever meet.
