Introduction :
|
|
Nagaland is a world apart. Nature resplendent in all her full-bodied
glory. Exquisitely picturesque, vibrantly colourful, all lush fertile,
the land represents unimaginable beauty, created by nature, to take your
breath away... 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. |
