The word "Indigenous" basically means Native, or Home-grown. If Rangfrah is an incarnation of Shiva, and if Shiva is a deity of Hindus, how can you call Rangfrah an indigenous faith? Please explain.
The word Indigenous means Native or HOme-grown or Aboriginal.
If Rangfrah is an incarnation of Shiva and if Shiva is a Hindu deity, how can Rangfrah be an indigenous deity of the Tangsas and wangchos? Please explain.
