Thal histories went back almost a half a million years between the prehistory of the race and the war that almost destroyed the planet.
The Thals' legends, on the other hand, said that the Kaleds had disagreed with the tribal policies and when they were outnumbered and outvoted, had left to form their own community where they could do as they pleased.

 The Daleks by Alan Stevens and Fiona Moore
The Thals are not made out to be idiots or unsympathetic because of their fanatical pacifism: indeed, it is made quite clear that pacifism does not equal cowardice or lack of honour, which distinguishes it from the usual run of postwar stories in this vein.
Furthermore, another drawback of the Thals' pacifism is that, having never come to experience violence, they have no way of controlling or understanding their violent sides: Alydon confesses that when he hit Ian, he did not know why he did it, and later Ganatus fights with his own brother (then lies about it).
Ian also recognises that the Thals, as well as the travellers, stand to lose from their pacifist stance, and to gain from, albeit judiciously, taking violent action-- and, arguably, to gain more than the travellers, as the Thals are able to regain control of their own world and their own impulses.

The banter between the grumpy Daleks and the sarky Thals is pretty amusing but unfortunately one thing that is lacking from these scenes is full blooded characterisation of the Thals, which is surprising because there’s only two of them so it’s not like the writers have their work cut out for them.

There is something about the directing in the scenes in the Thal city under siege that makes you want to see beyond the same small corridors they keep showing and to imagine the Thal city in epic size, with a vast population and rich culture and beautiful architecture.
