Some people have moved so far away from the forest, that they can’t understand the lives of forest people. Some even call them ‘jungli’. Why is it not correct to say this?
The word 'jungli' is a Hindi word which is commonly used in an abusive sense to refer to someone who is uncivilized. But the forest dwellers are not uncivilized. Though they are living in a forest in a balanced and civilized manner. Thus, if we call them 'jungli' it would hurt them.
