Question
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?
Solution
The word ‘jungli’ is a derogatory remark and referred to someone who is seen as uncivilized. Forest dwellers have their own distinct culture which is altogether different than the mainstream culture. They are not uncivilized rather they are living in a way that is different than our way of living. Hence it is wrong to call them ‘jungli’.
