The Nagas,
inhabitants of Nagaland, are said to belong
to the indo-mongoloid stock, a race whose
presence was first noted ten centuries
before Christ, at the time of the
compilation of the Vedas. Nagaland is
bounded by Assam in the west, Burma on the
East, Arunachal Pradesh & Assam on the North
and Manipur in the South. The state consists
of seven districts with sixteen tribes
& sub-tribes inhabiting it. The Naga tribes
are generally full of folklore. They are
fond of seasonal songs, solo, duet and
choric. Here man has to fight nature all the
time. The struggle however, makes people
tough. The people here are strongly built,
simple, honest and hard working. |
