This old man saying that Meiteis don't care about Naga (tangkhul) and hence no development. It was a tangkhul who served as CM of Manipur for 4 terms, 1980 to 1998. Mr.Rishang Keishing.
Yangmaso Saiza ... another tangkhul CM. He was brutally murdered by NSCN in front of his own family. So sad. NSCN kills even their own and then blame others.
Yes i would like to add to that! they live in their own lil bubble and seems to blame any little mishaps on the meiteis. First thing they have the ST reservation and land protection which means they can stand as a candidate not just from the reserved 10 seats but the remaining 40 seats are open for all (not reserved 4 meitei) which is evident from lishang keishing reign. MLR act severely restricts meitei settlement beyond the valley where there's free passage n settlement with little to no consideration for the native meitei. Then if we are gonna talk bout budgetary allocation please don't get me started with the Autonomous district Council for god knows who's pocket all the budget seeps into. For if their people's leaders were all that sincere who are the meitei bureaucrats to say otherwise. Lastly if we checked the demographic profile of the top govt. employees. It literally screams reservation privilege.... for god's sake please practice christianity rather than propagating it
@nagaeutopia figure out how the politicians you elected are residing in imphal. With many properties and lands. That's where your funding goes to. Tbh even the meitei minister Mlas are nothing different. They all do no work and fill up their pockets. But from what I have seen the meiteis come out and protest against this mlas to fix road and all. But I never heard such things happen frequent from the hills side. Sometimes it's better to just accept that we have our own fault and rectify. Blaming others for ur miseries is weak persons excuse.
Nagas think they are special , having own culture , custom etc but what they don't know is that every state in India is unique language , culture , customs . Nagas haven't fully come out of tribal mindset that the place they live is country and having indian Constitution with special naga article considered ruled by an outsider . Nagaland joining India as a STATE , means that ruling nagaland lies with people of nagaland . People of nagaland can exercise right over entire India but people from other part of India can't do so because of the special provision allowed for nagas . India is one of few countries that protects tribal culture. Being part of India is not bad thing that can happen to nagas .
From your name I assume you are from Tamil Nadu. Look at the people in TN and our Dravidian parties. Recently Stalin said he would be open to an independent Tamil Nadu. Just like Tamilians have nothing to do with the rest of India, Nagas have nothing to do with the rest of India and both must asserts their independence. It is ok for different people to form a union as one country, dissolving their uniqueness but there should be a gain from it. What has the Indian Union gained from being a unified entity of vas differences? Zero. It’s a disgrace to humanity as a whole and a laughing stock of the world. Would it not be better if the different people go their separate ways and govern themselves?
@AGASTHYA That's just your assumption. I have never paid taxes to the Nscn Im, I have only paid taxes to the Govt. Why should we be okay with colonization? It's the 21st century, why can't India just leave?
@AGASTHYA You're correct, no other Indian or Non Nagas born there can buy land. And we are not interested to set up businessess or buy property in other states. There is a huge presence of Assam Rifles which the public hates. I couldn't care less if Kashmir or Tamil Nadu leaves the Union, why do you want us to be with India? I mean the people doesn't wanna be a part of India.
Everything us divisible into smaller parts even families and atoms. At what point does it stop ? I am sure within the Nagas there are subdivisions that are "unique"
We are feeling very sad for our people of Nagas divided & broken into piecies in manipur, Assam, Nagaland, Arunchal Pradesh and Myanmar (Burma). The God of Nagas plan to bring NAGA people into one family.
Naga is not a single ethnic groups ,it is a political terms for a combination of several ethinicities. Those you called Nagas from Manipur ,Assam ,etc are ethinicity of their own respective lands but joined the group under gun point mostly.
Thank you sir ..i have very deeply fallen in love with a nagamese boy ..we both have confessed feelings for each other ..i am trying to learn the language and even willing to serve his family and our family ..in case we marry ...i really do love nagaland please don't part from us ..each star has its own diff history .. that's what makes the whole nation beautiful..
Also in between nagaland itself there is lack of unity ..each tribe wants to outshine the others ..and show itself superior .. believe me be careful for what you wish for ...if u get a separate nation your land will have even more for inter tribe attacks
Imphal can never be compared with Guwahati or Delhi, blaming for all the ills of Imphal to Delhi is just a futile exercise.This is slowly creeping in among the valley dwellers and now they are slowly trying to stand on their own legs.Similarly ukhrul can never be compared with Imphal, this is the way world works.Quicker you accept this, better it is for you all🙄
Does any one see any of the points made in favor of separatism stand ground? I really don't, even if I tried to. Aren't we all very different from each other with very varied cultures, languages food and lifestyle? Yet, amicable talks and self improvement is important to grow as a society.
You're correct mate. No culture or group of people is more important than the other. The thing is though, we never wanted to be a part of India, we were forced and colonized.
@@indiegenre9333 Do you even know what colonisation even means? You are just a bunch of lazy bums who are quick to blame others for all your misfortunes instead of fixing it. Anyone who has visited Nagaland can see the pathetic infrastructure all over the state. Compared to Manipur its like 20 yrs backward. But the Nagas are shameless enough to accept govt grants and want independence for reasons which even God can't justify. And good luck sorting tensions amongst the Naga tribes after achieving your la la land. Although most of you are educated on paper, but in reality are irrational dumbfucks.
@@shenanigans4177 lol yes you're partly correct. Im not even a Naga from Nagaland. Im a naga from Ukhrul Dist which is in Manipur. Yes our Naga leaders are corrupt and we love grants from the Govt but that doesn't change the fact that we were forced to be Indians. Why do you want us to be a part of India so bad?
@@x3nn0n You can simply read about the History of Nagas on Wiki or read books such as Kuknalim, Naga Armed Resistance: Testimonies of Leaders, Pastors, Healers and Soldiers and The History of Nagas.
I don't know about the concept of 'Naga' but I do know that the tangkhuls are a fierce tribe which has a much older history and an ancestry than afore mentioned concept and hence, if their fight is for their identity and right,much respect to them but extortion, illegal taxation, etc. in the name of freedom struggle puts the righteous, humble movement of the tangkhuls in a bad limelight.
Muivah was not Naga when he was Born in Manipur. Because there is no Naga in the history of Manipur either in the ... BCE/CE Civilization of Kangleipak. Some hills minority community has been forced with Gun-point by NSCM-IM to become Naga in many part of Manipur, shame on you. But I do respect the pure Naga of Nagaland.
Some facts: The name tangkhul was given by meeteis during time immemorials. In meetei dialect tangkhul means preciuos locality where meetei and tangkhul had very close relations, it is said that some tribes goes to the plain (imphal valley) first and it came to be known as the meeteis and the one living behind at the hills were the tangkhul. Even we meeteis performed occasion every year like mera wayungba which means lifting up a pole with touch on the top to let the brothers know that we are okay. Even in meeteis ancestral holy festive times known as lai haraoba, there is always a dance know as tangkhul jagoi practice from times immemorial. The term Naga came very recently. These brothers are just threatened or brainwased by the terror or looter groups nscnim led by Muivah.
The name Meetei was given by Tangkhul since time immemorial. In Tangkhul Language Meetei means People who separated. Which means the Meiteis were Tangkhuls who left them and mixed with other people and became separated from them. The ancestors of Meeteis went to valley and mixed with Bengalis, Bishnupriyas, Brahmins, Muslims, Shans, Kukis, Burmese, Chinese, Tripuris etc and became different.
Nagas living in Manipur is not living in Manipur land we are living in Manipur in our own ancestral land.The land which we are living now is our ancestral land.
It was not given to Naga's by Meitei's, whether Naga's existed under the suzerainty of Meitei's or not is another topic altogether but the fact is Naga's were indigenous to the hills of Manipur state since time immemorial.
“We have our own identity, culture, identity, religion ...” You can say that about most of the states in India. We are still living in the Indian Union where nobody stops us from following our practices, barring the occasional effort to push Hindi. What stops Nagas from being like the 28 other states?

This is what NSCN does to its own tribe. Read some news .... Activist abducted, tortured by NSCN-Isak Muivah faction for filing RTI application in Manipur An attempt to expose the misappropriation of development funds in Senapati district, proved very costly for Kh. Enoch, a social activist from lower Phaibung village of Manipur. Enoch along with P. Johnson of Taphon Phymai Village in Senapati district had sought information under RTI act on the dispersal of funds for various development projects, carried out by Autonomous District Council. A sizable chunk of the funds meant for all Nagas were allegedly embezzled by some corrupt ADC members in collusion with senior leaders of NSCN/Isak-Muivah faction, and used for personal gain. On January 20, armed cadres of the NSCN-Isak Muivah faction abducted Enoch and tortured him for daring to file an RTI in the matter. They kept him locked up for around 10 days at some unknown location and pressured him with death threats to withdraw the RTI.

Fighting for you rights is all good. But killing innocent people, kidnappings, extortion and threatening people with serious consequences for going against their words, how will they justify it?

You r are naga living in manipur dont forget . If u support naga that's ok.. Naga and meitei are blood brother.. You are a pastor without knowing the relationship of forefather.. No reason to be a pastour
Here you are all criticising the demands of the Nagas. If the government of India deemed the demand unreasonable it would have dismissed it a long time ago. Other communities in India also has similar demands as the Nagas but GOI did not take heed so maybe you should instead of thrashing their passionate demand for freedom, look into the history of the Nagas in depth.
The Meeteis, Nagas and the Kukis live together peacefully from the past. But in late 1990s the NSCN I-M lead by Th. Muivah carried a genocide activities on the Kukis, killing more than 1000 innocent civilians ,turning 360+ villages to ashes and leaving 1.5 lakhs homeless. That's why the Kukis observe 13 Sept. as BLACK DAY every year. The ethnic cleansing campaign by T.h Muivah has to be dealt seriously. The Kukis need justice.... We need justice... 🙏🙏🙏
You mean peacefully like your people using British provided guns terrorizing smaller Tangkhul villages in the past? Tenants with guns trying to grab our lands.
10:26 mama said it right. There was no border before the british or french or japanese came to northe east. Infact jawaharlala nehru didnt even know manipur existed untill the british.

These days, there are certain section of community and individual from Nagaland who don't favor our Tangkhul brothers in Naga National Cause, maybe due to leadership issue or some personal grudges and even tagging them as Manipuris/non-Naga. As of my observation, Tangkhuls and other fellow Naga tribes in Manipur seem much patriotic and values about ethnic brotherhood of Nagas regardless of divided political boundaries. As a concern individual to say, it's not fair to undermine any tribe or community base on different sentiment one may have over the other so long as Naganess is concern for a common goal and aspiration. Whatever the differences, each one exist due to significant other as a Naga. External forces are vast, unity is strength. Kuknalim! Much ❤fm Kohima!!

From The Statesman, a Kolkota based newspaper ... an excerpt Last year I met two important Nagas of Manipur. One hailed from Ukhrul and was an academic before becoming a minister and the other was a cabinet minister in numerous ministries in Manipur. To the second one, who hailed from Senapati district, I asked “Tell me what wrong have the Meiteis have done to the Nagas so as to blame them for all the ills of the community. And as a former PWD minister you know that there exists a Tribal Sub-Plan in the planning documents of the state and also that all contract works in the Naga areas were only given to the Nagas.” He laughed and said, “If we don’t blame the Meiteis for our plight what else can we tell them while asking for votes.” To the academic-turned-politician, I recollected how during my tenure as a member of the State Human Rights Commission, I had toured Ukhrul and registered over 20 cases in two days all relating to cases of non-completion of school buildings, road constructions abandoned half-way and, dispensary buildings left incomplete. And while issuing notices to the state authorities over these issues relating to Right to Education, Healthcare, good communication, sanitation and safe drinking water, we had specifically asked them to include the names of the contractors concerned to whom these tasks were initially handed over to. Then, I told him that all the contractors turned out to be local Tangkhuls who had made their fast bucks and left the area to settle down in Imphal.
To anyone watching this apart from Nagas... You really don't know about us so what I urge you people is please shut your mouth and be quiet.. We are Nagas and will be Nagas forever....
State of that village and whole naga dominated areas would hv been better if there was a people movement against corruption,against gun culture.. killing innocents will only lead to this kind of pathetic state.
What meiteis getting ..dont blame to meitei..why so angry grandpa..... The governance system is fail... But the relationship between meitei and naga can't seperate by muivah
EXACTLY MY THOUGHT WE MEITEI HAVE BEEN BLAMED AS THE ROOT CAUSE FOR EVERY MISMANAGEMENT ON THEIR PART . LIKE for god's sake ADC is operated by their own people
People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones at others. Mr James I hope you know that Kuki's are all over North East but chiefly in Nagaland and Manipur.
Very weird that the only people who were interviewed were old and related to Muivah or Chruch. There are young people whose future is at stake. Should have interviewed them too. Old people with their old ideology are going to have the same separatist mentality and they would want to keep it alive. What matters is the youth. In Naga problem, Chruch and foreign missionaries have a huge role. These people are entitled to their opinion but it isn't a complete picture.
Naga national movement has been hijacked by the tangkhuls long time back in order to further their own agenda. Tangkhul never considered themselves as nagas until late 70s then suddenly they claim themselves to be the pioneers of naga national movement lol.

India is a union of different peoples and communities like Nagas.Nagas have no common language, boundary or culture, a union of different tribes settled in Nagaland,Arunachal Pradesh, Assam,Manipur and Myanmar. A group of people may aspire to form a nation, its their desire but if it is contradictory to a nation already formed,and as strong as India,I think it will remain as unique history without achieving the ultimate goal without understanding among the people living together in this part of the world.
What is difference of Manipur and meitei ? They were once ethnically same tribal people like tangkhuls and Nagas of Nagaland . But after coming of Bihar pandits and intermarriage with tribals , they are now converted to Hindu or can be called as mayang in local dialect .
@@Greyhound0111 Inter racial mixing of the meitei is strictly limited to royal falimy and a few surname that doesn't come under the 7 yek salai/clan. That generalisation u r making puts off the interest of pure meitei that still exists to this day. U don't know a thing about lois and the burmese invasion. please don't make baseless assumption for ur interest.
@@hemangshrivastava9561 them joining Nagaland is actually good coz they have fought for such a long time, but the problem is it seems like they also want to take the land
@@anoweeb7804 If people in Nagaland wants something then they have to give up something. India was breaked into 3 parts in independence. Whatever happened in history is history. Naga should now moved on and demand just independence of Nagaland in return of leaving other naga territories in other states. No bodies independence is perfect.
@@hemangshrivastava9561 yeah that's what we are saying but they can't get this fact inside their head but it's too late now they are already controlling those area
You are not Naga, kaccha naga... The real Naga is from Nagaland. You can't even communicate each other. You people work under the Kuki Chief. This is the reason why a Pastor from Kamjong lead to burn down peace loving Kuki village, Chassad.

but illegal tax collections, extortions, kidnapping, killing Govt Servants and Genocides it's not the way one should practice...

This old man saying that Meiteis don't care about Naga (tangkhul) and hence no development. It was a tangkhul who served as CM of Manipur for 4 terms, 1980 to 1998. Mr.Rishang Keishing.
Yangmaso Saiza ... another tangkhul CM. He was brutally murdered by NSCN in front of his own family. So sad. NSCN kills even their own and then blame others.
Yes i would like to add to that! they live in their own lil bubble and seems to blame any little mishaps on the meiteis.
First thing they have the ST reservation and land protection which means they can stand as a candidate not just from the reserved 10 seats but the remaining 40 seats are open for all (not reserved 4 meitei) which is evident from lishang keishing reign.
MLR act severely restricts meitei settlement beyond the valley where there's free passage n settlement with little to no consideration for the native meitei.
Then if we are gonna talk bout budgetary allocation please don't get me started with the Autonomous district Council for god knows who's pocket all the budget seeps into. For if their people's leaders were all that sincere who are the meitei bureaucrats to say otherwise.
Lastly if we checked the demographic profile of the top govt. employees. It literally screams reservation privilege.... for god's sake please practice christianity rather than propagating it
Including Yangmaso Shaiza, another Chief Minister of Manipur, who worked for unity and development but was killed by NSCN
@@suanlsrm6488And yet everything is in the favor of Meitei's? Why?
@nagaeutopia figure out how the politicians you elected are residing in imphal. With many properties and lands. That's where your funding goes to.
Tbh even the meitei minister Mlas are nothing different. They all do no work and fill up their pockets. But from what I have seen the meiteis come out and protest against this mlas to fix road and all. But I never heard such things happen frequent from the hills side.
Sometimes it's better to just accept that we have our own fault and rectify. Blaming others for ur miseries is weak persons excuse.
Nagas think they are special , having own culture , custom etc but what they don't know is that every state in India is unique language , culture , customs .
Nagas haven't fully come out of tribal mindset that the place they live is country and having indian Constitution with special naga article considered ruled by an outsider . Nagaland joining India as a STATE , means that ruling nagaland lies with people of nagaland . People of nagaland can exercise right over entire India but people from other part of India can't do so because of the special provision allowed for nagas .
India is one of few countries that protects tribal culture. Being part of India is not bad thing that can happen to nagas .
@AGASTHYA lol Im a Naga and I pay tax. Get your facts right.
From your name I assume you are from Tamil Nadu. Look at the people in TN and our Dravidian parties. Recently Stalin said he would be open to an independent Tamil Nadu. Just like Tamilians have nothing to do with the rest of India, Nagas have nothing to do with the rest of India and both must asserts their independence.
It is ok for different people to form a union as one country, dissolving their uniqueness but there should be a gain from it. What has the Indian Union gained from being a unified entity of vas differences? Zero. It’s a disgrace to humanity as a whole and a laughing stock of the world. Would it not be better if the different people go their separate ways and govern themselves?
@AGASTHYA That's just your assumption.
I have never paid taxes to the Nscn Im, I have only paid taxes to the Govt.
Why should we be okay with colonization?
It's the 21st century, why can't India just leave?
@AGASTHYA You're correct, no other Indian or Non Nagas born there can buy land.
And we are not interested to set up businessess or buy property in other states.
There is a huge presence of Assam Rifles which the public hates.
I couldn't care less if Kashmir or Tamil Nadu leaves the Union, why do you want us to be with India?
I mean the people doesn't wanna be a part of India.
Everything us divisible into smaller parts even families and atoms. At what point does it stop ? I am sure within the Nagas there are subdivisions that are "unique"
We are feeling very sad for our people of Nagas divided & broken into piecies in manipur, Assam, Nagaland, Arunchal Pradesh and Myanmar (Burma).
The God of Nagas plan to bring NAGA people into one family.
Naga is not a single ethnic groups ,it is a political terms for a combination of several ethinicities. Those you called Nagas from Manipur ,Assam ,etc are ethinicity of their own respective lands but joined the group under gun point mostly.

Yes mee roooo😟
Some facts: The name tangkhul was given by meeteis during time immemorials. In meetei dialect tangkhul means preciuos locality where meetei and tangkhul had very close relations, it is said that some tribes goes to the plain (imphal valley) first and it came to be known as the meeteis and the one living behind at the hills were the tangkhul. Even we meeteis performed occasion every year like mera wayungba which means lifting up a pole with touch on the top to let the brothers know that we are okay. Even in meeteis ancestral holy festive times known as lai haraoba, there is always a dance know as tangkhul jagoi practice from times immemorial. The term Naga came very recently. These brothers are just threatened or brainwased by the terror or looter groups nscnim led by Muivah.
So true
The name Meetei was given by Tangkhul since time immemorial. In Tangkhul Language Meetei means People who separated. Which means the Meiteis were Tangkhuls who left them and mixed with other people and became separated from them. The ancestors of Meeteis went to valley and mixed with Bengalis, Bishnupriyas, Brahmins, Muslims, Shans, Kukis, Burmese, Chinese, Tripuris etc and became different.
Nagas were naga only since time immemorial ..... There' s nothing to confuse ...the only thing is we got separated to different states and Myanmar...
I don:t know why we are called naga... Moving out of states, i m more closer to my meitei brothers & sisters.. Might be we have many things in common.
Very important note 👍 a very true resource indeed
Nagas living in Manipur is not living in Manipur land we are living in Manipur in our own ancestral land.The land which we are living now is our ancestral land.
True
It was not given to Naga's by Meitei's, whether Naga's existed under the suzerainty of Meitei's or not is another topic altogether but the fact is Naga's were indigenous to the hills of Manipur state since time immemorial.
“We have our own identity, culture, identity, religion ...” You can say that about most of the states in India. We are still living in the Indian Union where nobody stops us from following our practices, barring the occasional effort to push Hindi.
What stops Nagas from being like the 28 other states?

This is what NSCN does to its own tribe. Read some news ....
Activist abducted, tortured by NSCN-Isak Muivah faction for filing RTI application in Manipur
An attempt to expose the misappropriation of development funds in Senapati district, proved very costly for Kh. Enoch, a social activist from lower Phaibung village of Manipur.
Enoch along with P. Johnson of Taphon Phymai Village in Senapati district had sought information under RTI act on the dispersal of funds for various development projects, carried out by Autonomous District Council.
A sizable chunk of the funds meant for all Nagas were allegedly embezzled by some corrupt ADC members in collusion with senior leaders of NSCN/Isak-Muivah faction, and used for personal gain.
On January 20, armed cadres of the NSCN-Isak Muivah faction abducted Enoch and tortured him for daring to file an RTI in the matter. They kept him locked up for around 10 days at some unknown location and pressured him with death threats to withdraw the RTI.
They live in their own lil bubble and seems to blame any little mishaps on the meiteis.

Thanks to the print for wonderfull journalism ....In the time commando comic channels as famously quoted by the great SG
Here you are all criticising the demands of the Nagas. If the government of India deemed the demand unreasonable it would have dismissed it a long time ago. Other communities in India also has similar demands as the Nagas but GOI did not take heed so maybe you should instead of thrashing their passionate demand for freedom, look into the history of the Nagas in depth.
Its high time for all factions and naga tribes to come together
The Meeteis, Nagas and the Kukis live together peacefully from the past. But in late 1990s the NSCN I-M lead by Th. Muivah carried a genocide activities on the Kukis, killing more than 1000 innocent civilians ,turning 360+ villages to ashes and leaving 1.5 lakhs homeless.
That's why the Kukis observe 13 Sept. as BLACK DAY every year.
The ethnic cleansing campaign by T.h Muivah has to be dealt seriously. The Kukis need justice....
We need justice... 🙏🙏🙏
You mean peacefully like your people using British provided guns terrorizing smaller Tangkhul villages in the past? Tenants with guns trying to grab our lands.

These days, there are certain section of community and individual from Nagaland who don't favor our Tangkhul brothers in Naga National Cause, maybe due to leadership issue or some personal grudges and even tagging them as Manipuris/non-Naga.
As of my observation, Tangkhuls and other fellow Naga tribes in Manipur seem much patriotic and values about ethnic brotherhood of Nagas regardless of divided political boundaries.
As a concern individual to say, it's not fair to undermine any tribe or community base on different sentiment one may have over the other so long as Naganess is concern for a common goal and aspiration.
Whatever the differences, each one exist due to significant other as a Naga. External forces are vast, unity is strength. Kuknalim!

From The Statesman, a Kolkota based newspaper ... an excerpt
Last year I met two important Nagas of Manipur. One hailed from Ukhrul and was an academic before becoming a minister and the other was a cabinet minister in numerous ministries in Manipur. To the second one, who hailed from Senapati district, I asked “Tell me what wrong have the Meiteis have done to the Nagas so as to blame them for all the ills of the community. And as a former PWD minister you know that there exists a Tribal Sub-Plan in the planning documents of the state and also that all contract works in the Naga areas were only given to the Nagas.” He laughed and said, “If we don’t blame the Meiteis for our plight what else can we tell them while asking for votes.”
To the academic-turned-politician, I recollected how during my tenure as a member of the State Human Rights Commission, I had toured Ukhrul and registered over 20 cases in two days all relating to cases of non-completion of school buildings, road constructions abandoned half-way and, dispensary buildings left incomplete. And while issuing notices to the state authorities over these issues relating to Right to Education, Healthcare, good communication, sanitation and safe drinking water, we had specifically asked them to include the names of the contractors concerned to whom these tasks were initially handed over to. Then, I told him that all the contractors turned out to be local Tangkhuls who had made their fast bucks and left the area to settle down in Imphal.
100%true.

Indeed, its time for nagas and kukis to come together fight for the common causes. Note only the two but all the tribals living in the region.
Even though there will never be a separate constitution or flag but other problems of the people should be taken care of. They are our own after all.
Longkumer👍 S Gupta and you can fetch a Nobel prize if you start doing stories on NH-2 since 31 January 1980. Eagerly waiting.
Ask this pastor how "naga" even came to be. That's why we say little knowledge is dangerous. Muivah has successfully brainwashed these poor hill people abusing their simple mindedness. So tragic
Naga or tribe or whichever term we choose to have, we are one.
Our culture and all aspects of life share similarities.
If every culture / ethnicity in india demanded "nation", India wont be India. Besides if Nagas ask for self governance within state, or rights to practice their own culture it would make sense and garner support of most Indians. but for new nation? Wth. This does seem like separatist mentality. Besides a special status can help them preserve whatever that nagas want to preserve as well as govern themselves. I really dont get it.
You're correct but we never wanted to be a part of India.
We were colonized.
Will you be happy if India was still under British rule?
@Baljinder Singh we never know who was indian before but we knew after when your people come and occupied our land and divided Naga's even in Myanmar ...
@Baljinder Singhearly 1970s why did India divided naga family in Myanmar???? Tell me
@Baljinder Singh why did India divided naga tell me
@Baljinder Singh from 1947? WTF India and Myanmar made border in 1970s ...high officer just came from both side and made boundary
Yes , Naga is not indian because of culture, livelihood and people mind totally different from mainland of india. After independence still northeast people neglected by indian so why not asking for separate country. .
Yes bit now we dont neglect them . They are now being connected to maimlamd
You nagas are from Mars 😂😂 very unique
3:00 That old man slammed the Meiteis very nicely.
Brainwashed old man just like some of those Brainwashed Meitei hypocrites who only blame Indian Govt when its their people who are betraying them...
Typical old man of Ukhrul (Yukhul) high on country liquor.
The country liquor known as ‘Yu” was abundant in the village and the villagers were found mostly drunk. Afterwards, neighborsYukhul came the word Ukhrul.
I m so glad to see a story like this . National media doesn't have time to cover subject like this
I live in Jammu. According to me,Its better leave kashmir valley ,Nagaland & Mizoram for betterment of rest of India . Better demand complete Siachen from pakistan. Kashmiri, Naga & Mizo will never consider themselves Indian even if valley one day peaceful. Better to invest fund in people & region which consider themselves Indian like Ladakh, Sikkim, arunachal, Meghalaya, Manipur, Tripura, Jammu and rest of India.
@@hemangshrivastava9561 mizoram is peaceful now..... Problem is Manipur. Get your facts right.
@@sng2260 yes that's true ... But regarding Manipur, people in the valley have accepted coexisting with Indian union... The major problem lies with the Nagas inhabiting Manipur which constitute more than 60% of the total geographical area of Manipur
@@tangshang6858 I hope that everything becomes peaceful. All the demands and other things must be negotiated peacefully with dialogue.
cant see one sensible comment from a mainland guy. no wonder why nagas want to be seperated.
What more sensibility do you want?!
I have seen countless here in the comment section though 🤷🏿♀️
Tangkhul are not nagas they are not pucca naga
I support free Nagaland
I am from mainland

We have our oun version of India.
They are already in an Independent Nation-State called India of which they are equal citizens. The state does provide them with the basics of life, the rest they have earn for themselves. Let them think beyond Tribal affiliations.
The old man said meitei has taken everything. What are the things meitei have taken? And what about NSCN IM collecting money from the trucks and buses for what?
The blame game will never end. It's like tit for tat.. Many were brainwashed and most of the revolutionary movements were spearheaded by hate agenda.. Even there are bunch of Meiteis who only blame the central govt when its their own people who are looting them.
6th Schedule, ADC and HAC powers and financial benefits.
@@zingtai7426 This is what NSCN does to its own tribe. Read some news ....
Activist abducted, tortured by NSCN-Isak Muivah faction for filing RTI application in Manipur
An attempt to expose the misappropriation of development funds in Senapati district, proved very costly for Kh. Enoch, a social activist from lower Phaibung village of Manipur.
Enoch along with P. Johnson of Taphon Phymai Village in Senapati district had sought information under RTI act on the dispersal of funds for various development projects, carried out by Autonomous District Council.
A sizable chunk of the funds meant for all Nagas were allegedly embezzled by some corrupt ADC members in collusion with senior leaders of NSCN/Isak-Muivah faction, and used for personal gain.
On January 20, armed cadres of the NSCN-Isak Muivah faction abducted Enoch and tortured him for daring to file an RTI in the matter. They kept him locked up for around 10 days at some unknown location and pressured him with death threats to withdraw the RTI.
May be Meitei didn't took anything but destroyed the democracy of Nagas!
What you are suffered.. Can u tell the name of meitei person what they took from u naga tell me....???? I can cut my hats off
"Twinkling Muivah" 🙂 I love it!!!
Living a very simple life and home...waw!! Else can you imagine their riches...
Would Naga not function without Nscn IM ?
Everyone has their own customs ... own religion...that doesn't mean we need a separate nation a separate flag..this is no correct...
Every part of India was independent before the British. So there's nothing wrong to ask for the same
Then why exist Bhutan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan or Burma etc..all should be India or even England!
I'm really confusing for tangkul people are from were any why meitie people in a ritual ceremony tangkul is also attached with it.call lai houraba ritual.
I believe the context of naga wasn't there in Manipur then. That's why many rituals associated with meitei community with other tribes gave their proper tribe name like kabui. Tankhul etc. The context of naga came to Manipur later on after the naga movement.
@@sarahstiara2802 read my comment sentence by sentence..
@@itsokbro6429 So they were addressed as Tangkhul Hao or how?
Demanding for something which the constitution doesn't permit. What they r asking is something which you will achieve only if you battle, putting down their arms is not gonna work it's like they have little hope like maybe will get maybe not.
our population is 40 times higher than the Nagas and are one of the most enriched ethnicity in India although we demanded more autonomy for our state yet we never demanded such things.
But is it ri8 to force Nagas to be part of yje country if they themselves wanna separate
@@ayushsrivastava4623 yes it is right
No state has the right to secede from india
Who are you?
It is not about Population. Before India got Independent Nagas are free and they have their own land. But after 1947 India invaded Nagas Land and burnt down many villages. Indian army rap women & torture many innocent people and many were died. Nagas are not demanding anything. Nagas have their right to live free. Nagas wants to be a free country not under Indian constitution. Nagas Land is not belong to India.
You're wrong about them being independent my friend. They were never been free historically they were under the suzerainty of the burmese kings after that they became part of Bengal Presidency , so you got the first part wrong. But I agree with you about the army's treatment towards our Naga brothers and sisters but isn't that criminalized since 2017 ?
A pastor busy on a land😂😂
Kaccha naga bring violence in manipur taking the name if naga to cover their rudeness

There is no kaccha naga or paka naga....there is only 1 and that is Naga......

You Feel proud Naga but you didn't recognize by Nagaland Naga
Love to naga brothers n sisters i want to share is that during independence india was more than 500 princely state or independent areas so its right to demand but if everyone is start asking different constitution I'm not sure which direction india will go
Dear brother other states have joined india willingly but Nagas history are different from other states... We were forced to be part of India by raping , killing innocence, murdered, mother's lost their sons , daughters being raped by those Indian soldiers of those era ...... We declared our independence prior to India... But we were attacked . That's the reality
@@angchekonyak7620 That happened in Manipur as well. In fact, Indian govt gave away Kabou valley to get Andaman and Nicobar islands.

Is they nscn are rebel than done you think he's gonna have interviews in Delhi, Shillong etc...there's a difference between rebels and freedom fighters, rebels kill to spread fear and force others while freedom fighters fight and kill and sacrifice for what's behind them and for their generations to come to preserve the culture and history...Don't misinterprete the NSCN as rebels...Kuknalim

The Meities are taking everything 😂😂😂
I feel you bro🤣
Meitei did not take anything from tangkhul. Meitei have more doctors and engineers but tribal people have more IAS, MPS and then when they rich they settle down in Imphal every MLA get same shares. Valley have many people and all ethnic. But hilly area has big land but not much people. YOUR LOCAL MLA are not meiteis.. Ask your gost MLA
Manipur is a integral part of India 🇮🇳💕
@@hemangshrivastava9561 The real universal question is "Is India an extension of middle east or part of Asia. Manipur and Assam etc. and integral and inseparable part of South East Asia will remian Asian States forever. Its becoz you Indian can not just come anihilate the entire people of this territory just becoz they don't look like Indian( an extension of middle easten and african people).
@@bck70 Manipur dresses 🥻 and culture are look almost indian & politicians also look indian. Manipur, assam, Tripura, Meghalaya & Arunachal is totally indian State with unique identity, language, culture just every state of India. Yes Mizo & Naga are exception. Nagaland & Mizoram kashmir valley should be independent but not Manipur. Manipur were has unique history but modern Manipur state is indian state. Name "Manipur" itself looks indian.
Even CM of Manipur name "N. Biren Singh" look perfectly indian. Even all the Maharajas of Manipur princely state look like Indian. Manipuri names looks like almost indian.
The whole India is made up of 1000s princely states of Indian subcontinent. Meiteis ethnic people should understand and visit all states Ladakh to Andaman to understand India more clear. India is more than Delhi,UP, Bihar.
Even my Bhopal was also princely State more bigger than Kangleipak.
But Bhopalis are now proud Indians.
Nagaland, Mizoram & Kashmir should let independent country because people live in these states don't consider themselves Indian but Rest of India including Manipur all should be United 🙏.
Its a matter of "Who actually wants to consider themselves Indian vs Not wants to consider themselves Indian". Better India keep & invest fund in letter ones. Like Tamil Nadu,Jammu, Ladakh, kerala, Sikkim, Meghalaya etc.
India consist of emotionally connected States to India would be more stable and developed. Rest should be let leave & be friendly neighbors.
@@hemangshrivastava9561 Yes but Manipur is known as kangleipak. The name called Manipur is called by outsider. You seem Manipur is related to ancient Indian history but not is made history soon we will come to ancient religion and made peace to this land and we are not sons and daughters of any Hinduism gods. Know this as Indians
Muivah is not Naga he is Tangkul tribe how can he consider himself as a Naga .why?
What is the difference between Indian nation and Nagas? India is a union of different peoples and communities like Nagas.Nagas have no common language, boundary or culture, a union of different tribes settled in Nagaland,Arunachal Pradesh, Assam,Manipur and Myanmar. A group of people may aspire to form a nation, its their desire but if it is contradictory to a nation already formed,and as strong as India,I think it will remain as unique history without achieving the ultimate goal without understanding among the people living together in this part of the world.
Are you serious, they are trying to force Sanskrit language in schools, religious intolerance is at the rise. They banned beef meat.
What is difference of Manipur and meitei ?
They were once ethnically same tribal people like tangkhuls and Nagas of Nagaland . But after coming of Bihar pandits and intermarriage with tribals , they are now converted to Hindu or can be called as mayang in local dialect .
Ziro Lol...as if Christian is your ethnic religion... At least we don't force anyone to join our religion like u guys did...
@@Greyhound0111 Inter racial mixing of the meitei is strictly limited to royal falimy and a few surname that doesn't come under the 7 yek salai/clan.

The report was good at the beginning but at the end it was so stupid. She was trying to mislead the whole Naga.

@@anoweeb7804 If people in Nagaland wants something then they have to give up something. India was breaked into 3 parts in independence. Whatever happened in history is history. Naga should now moved on and demand just independence of Nagaland in return of leaving other naga territories in other states. No bodies independence is perfect.

You are not Naga, kaccha naga... The real Naga is from Nagaland. You can't even communicate each other. You people work under the Kuki Chief. This is the reason why a Pastor from Kamjong lead to burn down peace loving Kuki village, Chassad.
