Hmm, although wisdom lies in not judging and classifying people, but being Indian, it is inevitable that you scan people from head to toe and try and put them into different baskets...
Ok first difference, am reminded of the brutal old expression "Barking dogs don't bite". So in Bangalore i have seen furious debates, threats, exagerrated gestures and general coldness being thrown about. The people in Arunachal are simpler, if they like you, they will smile and be happy with you, if you throw too much attitude or piss them off, they would beat you up. Very little barking.
Second, "Chikna" factor. People here seem like you could put a drop of water on their skin and it would slip right off. They are shorter on an average, well built and have great dressing sense. In Bangalore, people are much more intellectual.
Third, most jobs are sarkari, so there is a sarkari atitude to living life (which is commitments are meant to be made but to be followed at ones own leisure). Life is literally 'laid back'. Can't really blame the people for that as there is no real industry or jobs here and the ambitious youth usually look for opportunities outside arunachal. Also, the government inhibits outside investment into the state.
People here are very free and open in their behavior, if they feel something they express it and do not get into mind games. Also, Arunachali people are divided into many tribes and they retain their tribal identity also. The dominant tribe here in itanagar is nyishi, who are more inclined towards gundagiri and want to have things their way, but are very friendly if they like you. Girls don't live with inhibitions or insecurities and are very well dressed most of the time.
Hmm, will update as other thoughts come to mind
