| Summary: |
This is Padi Lalyang (right) and his son Padi Yubbe during the celebration of the younger man's famous election victory. In February 1978, MLAs were elected as Members of the Legislative Assembly in Itanagar, the capital of the (then) Union Territory of Arunachal Pradesh. Padi Yubbe, from the Padi clan, one of the richest and most influential in local society, was elected not only as an MLA but also as Speaker of the Legislative Assembly. The invited guests, who Christoph von Fürer-Haimendorf estimated to number 500, included Nyishis and Hill Miris from villages within the speaker's constituency. The father wears a traditional hair style, although without a skewer (as seen on the men in the background), and carries a small machete, while the son has adopted modern dress. The celebration was held at Padi Yubbe's house in Old Ziro, the small town-cum-village at the northern end of the valley. |
