According to him, the Tindya clan have their origin above at Kaliang area, in Hayuliang circle, Anjaw. Tindya clan does not have a story of migration. Tindya clan are known as Pe-hare. Pe-hare means they do not have the story of migration. The other clans like Kathak, Marap, Kaliang, Tablumnyu & Malo are also called as Pe-hare which means originated from nowhere but created from the soil. Tindya clan is derived from the name of a person who was born in a jungle of plant called Tadya. The sons of Tadya clan were i) Talam and ii) Tamya. Both the two sons of Tadya clans lived nearby at Sagalai, a hill called Glepha thiya i.e upper side of Kaliang area. One son lived in upper side of the hill and the other son lived lower part of the hill side. The Salam clan of Tindya became extinct. The Talam had children and the children were later moved to Cheretong, Tshangliang, Mla-nang (gets sunshine place), Pagong etc. The great grand father late Hweso Tindya had first moved to Lagum area, near Tafraliang now. While staying at Lagum area, his children began to die due from an unknown disease; they believed that his clans would become extinct due to dying early; so they will only be remember as La. La means simply it would be known after them. And the La became Lagum. Some of the informant's great grand father's siblings again moved to different places in Lohit & Anjaw. Hence his clansmen are called as Lagum Tindya. |
