The caste system in India is a complex social hierarchy that has been deeply ingrained in Indian society for centuries. At its core, it divides people into distinct social groups or castes, traditionally based on occupation and birth. The system is hierarchical, with some castes considered "higher" or "purer" than others.
The Mizo and Naga tribes are not considered untouchable castes. They are indigenous ethnic groups residing primarily in the northeastern region of India, with the Nagas predominantly inhabiting the state of Nagaland and parts of neighboring states, and the Mizos primarily residing in the state of Mizoram.
The concept of untouchability is historically associated with the caste system prevalent in other parts of India, where certain castes were considered "untouchable" and subjected to social discrimination and exclusion from various aspects of society. However, the Naga and Mizo communities have their distinct cultural traditions, customs, and social structures, which are different from the traditional caste system found in other regions of India.
Historically, there were four main castes:
Brahmins: The priestly caste responsible for religious rituals and teaching.
Kshatriyas: The warrior and ruler caste, responsible for protection and governance.
Vaishyas: The merchant and artisan caste, responsible for trade and commerce.
Shudras: The laborer caste, responsible for manual and menial tasks.
Outside of these four main castes were the Dalits, also known as "untouchables" or "Scheduled Castes," who were historically marginalized and subjected to severe social discrimination. They performed the most menial and degrading tasks, such as cleaning streets and handling dead bodies.
While the caste system has been officially abolished in India's constitution, its influence persists in many aspects of Indian society, including marriage, education, and employment. Discrimination based on caste, known as casteism, still exists, particularly in rural areas and among certain communities.
Efforts to address caste-based discrimination and uplift marginalized castes continue, with affirmative action programs and social movements advocating for equality and social justice. However, the caste system remains a deeply entrenched aspect of Indian society, presenting ongoing challenges to achieving true social equality and inclusivity.

No there are non-Christians (Hindu, animist) among Naga such as Zeme and Rongmei
But tribals are not christian. Tribal worship nature not jeshu. Yeshu

We nagas and mzos don' t practice untouchaables like hindus.
Even we Garo too ❤️🩹
U right
Even our khasi ancestors from Meghalaya never practise Hinduism before Christian came to our state
We have our own khasi religion
But those RSS leader told that meghalaya is a Hindu state since ancient time.
I was like what 😳
There's nothing called untouchable even in arunachal
This shows how weak your beliefs are, just a group of people discriminating against you and you can change your religion or hate it ?
Go To anywhere in this world, one thing is eternally true
They will discriminate against you by
Rich and poor
Race
Nationality
Skin colour

Gender
Never ever use the word 'untouchable' on Nagas.
We're head hunters.
If we're untouchables than Our people should always be ready to breakaway from union of India And join China',or become independent...the entire North East India...
I am not always happy with the new ideology of India because they are sometimes discriminate against north east
Do you think that's possible ?
Tripura is now a colony of refugees.. sad but true & the central govt. Ignores it
Unlike Tripura all other Northeast state have some freedom and enjoying the Federation power from Union of India
Make use this opportunity to make your state more prosperous and strong
Mizo and Naga are looking similar than other states of Northeast India..the majority of Christianity and their culture was very closely..in my college there are many students of Nagas and Mizos but can't identified them from their looks and all of them are Christians
Nagas has our own culture& traditions. Naga society is divided into different clans. We have our own kings, courtesans, subjects etc. At no point in time were nagas under any foreign rules (even the mighty British empire could'nt conquire the whole region).
Even the GOI have recognised the unique historical & political backgrounds of the Nagas.
#Hoping that soon there will be amicable solutions between the naga army& the govt. Of india🙏
Discrimination,abuse and insults against the Nagas and Mizos starts from Assam..... Assam is even worst than the mainland India for the Mizos and the Nagas .....
General Assamese people are no less than the mainland Indians they all look alike I know and have seen these people have such kind of attitude towards tribal people they think they are above or superior in terms of race, culture, education than the tribal communities.
There is no Casteism in North East
We dont even know what is untouchable or touchable
This is the very reason why Hindu belt states besides being economically more advanced than North East their mentality is still backward . Please treat your own Hindu people with equality despite economic inequality only then u will be like North East India.
One of the most evil practices in the Hindu religion is the caste system. They must do away with this.

Untouchable was invented by the aryans , the foreigners. Whether adivasis, dalits, nagas, mizo Or any other tribals, they are indigenous inhabitants of this land. Especially among the mongoloid, there is no untouchable. If we are untouchable, they too are untouchable for us.

Long live mizos and Naga's.❤
In the pre colonial era..... Lands inhabited by MIZO(ALL ZOS) wrre today Mizoram, kachin and chin parts of sagain state of burma that stress all the way to bay of bengal...
Zampui hills of tripura and kukil inhabited area of maniour along with chitaging hill track of Bangladesh.....
Even today these places are still inhabited by MIZO(ZOs).....
But devide and conqure rule was unsed by british.... And again deveide by partition....till. Dated....
So i think of someone want to talk about history of Mizoram from its precolonial era i think its right to mention this fact as well....
It’s thankful that you have clarified the misconception that Bihari Khan Sir had given. I had also watched that video of Khan Sir and it made me furious. Back then these two warring tribes were never untouchable. We have our own great history,culture and customs. Untouchability prevails only within Hinduism; so, back then we weren’t hindu nor Indian. We lived peacefully within our own territories under our wise Chiefs. Later only we were included under the British territory and we fought two world wars for them and after independence we fought multiple wars for India. I am a Mizo, I am an Indian and I am not an untouchable
Such a Clear and informative video. Well done 👍
I'm christian love from TRIPURA ❤✝️🙏
U mentioned about misconception about the other video, yes, Naga never either India nor Myanmar but remained freed Naga.. Foreign Christian missionary came and converted to christianity.. It's good u cleared the doubt amongst different section of the society.. Naga never untouchability never subdue by outside world.. 🍎

Thank you brother 🙏
Thankyou so much for this informative videos ❤❤❤.
Untouchable still exists in some parts of UP and Bihar.... (Where does khan sir lives?).... We Naga never knew untouchables.. 😂😂😂😂😂 Only God knows.
Sir, this content is very informative and thank you for uploading a very good research on both the Mizos and Nagas.. It is said by the Britishers Scholars that the tribal people of Nagaland practiced the purest form of Democracy in the olden days.......
If northeast ppl are untouchables then people of Thailand, Burma,china, Cambodia,laos, Philippines etc are also untouchables😂.
Yes. The mongoloid race is devoid of any such evil discriminations.
@@TheTopicalTalks not quite true. In manipur the meities who are majority hindu considered themselves superior and considered the tribals of manipur as untouchables. The tribal still to these days are marked by derogatory remarks as "Hao". Don't know about other NE state like assam Or tripura but in manipur untouchables were mostly practiced by the meitei hindu.
@@dickyuuu45788And today they meiteis are demanding for tribal status...the irony 😂
@@b.t.f6280 yes the hypocrisy is truly astounding. Many people from mainland have this misconception that caste system doesn't prevail in NE, majority of meetei still consider themselves as superior and tribal as inferior being which is why in manipur we have all this complex issues. The caste system has totally divided the people of manipur which can never be solved.
@@dickyuuu45788 Meiteis were also a tribe that adapted Hinduism long long ago,otherwise they have their first religion called sanamahism.Anyways Meiteis always consider themselves above tribes in northeast India and other people in mainland India also.They have very weird pride.
Nagas were Christian before mizos
Just the Aos. The konyaks converted to Christianity only in the middle of 20th century. 😂😂 while the whole Mizos were already Christian by the early 20th century

You have rightly explained with authentic reference .Here what you have explained ,have been being explained by me to our tribes belong to the Mongolian and are living in the North Eastern States since '90
Jesus never taught us untouchables thank you, Lord.
Very nice Explain Thanks

Right said 👍
Exactly what you said.. 💯.. correct...they should condemn him .
Non-tribals were untouchable for us. We never knew about non-tribals amd we were proud tribal and real son of the soil.
Thank you sir for sharing ur knowledge,,
❤
Khan sir mentioned untouchable not to show any disrespect but to show the mentality of Central people towards the tribal people then. Tibals or Adivasi were always looked down by others.
Yes. But there was a slight mistake in his presentation and I have attempted to rectify that. No hard feelings. Respect for him. Please do share the video and subscribe to the channel.
By your write up I am absolutely sure that You know nothing about the Tribal welfare committee 1952 of the Government of India there are four categories of Tribes they are:
(1) Tribal communities : adhering to traditional patterns of life who lived in a specific area for 1000 of years and are the indigenous people of that land.
(2) Semi-tribal communities (although these communities have settled down in rural areas by engaging in agriculture and other allied activities, but by living amongst the Hindus, who follow a jati-varna system, the tribal communities have also considered themselves as a form of castes by engrossing themselves into the concepts of purity and pollution, that are keys to the jati-varna system);
(3) acculturated tribal communities (these communities have migrated to urban and semi-urban communities in order to work in formal organisations)
(4) assimilated tribes (these groups have assimilated into the wider world and have now de-tribalised themselves)
In the light of these categories the tribes of North East broadly falls under the first category we have nothing to do with your Brahminical Culture of Varna System in fact we are the native to our concern state. Rest of ya'll are the outsiders and we considered you as the 2nd class citizens.
Go watch the full then defend ur racist slave minded mainland Indians
When did nagas and mizos become untouchables? 😂
Majority untouchables are in Bihar while 'khan sir' himself being bihari😂
Nagas and Mizos are brave warriors who fought for themselses not like
biharis were labours of britishera, mughals(turks), Scynthians for last 25 centuries😂.
*25 century of slavery history of Biharis😂*
Brother😂
Yes Khan Sir is from Bihar. But the Islam religion also doesn't practice the varna system. He might have spoken this out of ignorance. Let's hope he learns and rectifies.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂chicken defending kfc
It is just stupid to describe some specific ethnic communities as Mongol race these days. You make it seems like we have some kind of geonology connection with the Mongols which we do not. If you want to know more about Mizo as one ethnic group, go read Chin ethnic group from Burma too. Our community is divided into India, Bangladesh, Myanmar and states too. We have a state in two different countries. Chin-Mizo-Kuki is one of the largest tribal group in this region, bigger than Naga and Meitei combine. Thats why we cannot be intimidated by an group. Assam police were finding out the hard way by loosing around ten policemen. We are also fighting Burmese army in Chin State as we speak. This is who we are. I am Mizo.
Khan Bhai, your State Bihar lowest literacy rate in India
We are Touchable But as We all Know "UNITY IN STRENGTH",Policy is what we follow as a Believer.

His statement is true for north india and many other parts of india but not for north-east, infact even the british empire doesn't even allowed the missionaries to spread Christianity among the tribals.
Yes. But even in north India and other parts the tribals can't a part of the varna system. Tribals are indigenous. The religions they practice today have been adopted.

Tribe is a social group, it has no relation with caste system.
Infact every human race had their humble beginnings from a tribal society and as their population grew, upgraded to kingdoms & empires.
I dont blame khan sir but in Indian society, tribe & caste is often intertwined though they are completely different subjects.

'The Naga system of democracy was a form of purest democracy which is very difficult to conceive as existing even for a single day, and yet that it does exist here,is an undeniable fact.'
- JOHN BUTLER (then DC of Naga hills,1869)
The term "untouchable" is an indian invention. To the rest of the NE, there was no such thing as untouchable people. Sure, the various tribes were warring against each other and even had economic trades but the people didn't view others as inferior.

They are sects not caste 😂
Yes we all north east people are untouchables 😢😢😂😂
Dalit and untouchability is form of Hindu segregation of community for the benifit of self made Godman n ruling stock. Naga and mizo cannot be drawn or compare to Hindu philosophical ideology. Naga and Mizo are distinct ethnic group victims of British colonialism and India's annexation. There is no relation in any manner n matters regards to Hindu and tribals from northeast. Everything is quite different, eg; culture, traditional, race, looks, habit, custom etc.. even beliefs of faith prior to Christianity tribals followed its own rite and rituals which is completely different.
Yes. I have attempted to explain and reason the same. Hope people get it.

You are wrong about one thing about the Nagas, we are not animists or pagan,we don't follow that religion, we believe in monotheism . That is one creator God in heaven who is father of all and one big bad evil in the land of the death that is destructive,our customs and traditions are similar to ancient Judaism having all sorts of rites and rituals, that is why when the missionaries came and preached the gospel , everyone figured out that it is where they belonged,and also our society never kept slaves , head hunting is purely as 'trophies ', inter tribal warfare is solely for land grabbing, despite that every naga tribe is independent of each other and the society runs on democracy,The nagas are one of the few societies in history that practiced democracy,.
Thank you for the input. I have spoken as per my research. May be there's more to get. But trust me in many sources the Nagas too are referred to as animists.

very sorry to inform you some of ur statements are not correct too . though you are trying to validate your points in support
I doubt that, as a Khasi tribal and along with my kin the Jaintias, we were not considered untouchables for a simple reason, Hinduism was not the religion of ours. It was only in 1500AD with the emergence of the Khasi &Jaintia Kingdom which conquered some fringes of the Hindu dominated plain areas of Assam and Bangladesh (more prominently the Jaintia Kingdom) that we were exposed to Hinduism. While Hindu influence is present in the Jaintia Niam tre religion, it is almost absent in the Khasi Niam Tynrai. So the Idea of the Varna system is absent. On top of that, the Plains people were only exposed to tribal kings and warriors or traders who traded in the markets (Haats) the ideas of the Khasi &Jaintia tribals being untouchables, was absent. By the time there were sizable non -tribal Hindu population in Shillong, when it became the capital of undivided Assam, much of the local population were already Christians. So frankly speaking, this concept of NE tribals being untouchables is a fairly recent idea propounded by some vested interest.
Yes you are right. Such concepts of castes and untouchability are from the Hindu religion.

This practice "untouchable" Is clearly seen and practiced by the main land land people,which is prevalent even today in some rural or backward areas, in fact it's divided into four sects such as Brahmans, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas and Sudras, the sudras are rhe lower caste and are considered as untouchables even today, thats why shame on you to call Nagas as untouchables, you have to study the history of the Nagas and you will know

There were only 3 states in north east- Assam, and the princely states of Manipur and Tripura. Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Mizoram, and Nagaland were part of the larger territory of Assam. Eventually, they got separated to form their own distinct states.

Arunachal Pradesh wasn't even part of India,the region was under Tibetan control till British came, you're saying if Arunachali have anything to do with Assamese it was only mereged into Assam by British
if we were to go by that all of Assam was under Bengal Governor or administration of British India
@@TheTopicalTalks The tribals of Arunachal, mizoram or Nagaland were never under the rule of ahoms or any other kingdoms. Despite of many attempts to capture the land of tribals by Ahoms, they failed to do so. Instead, Our Arunachalee tribes used to raid on some plain areas of Assam to gain resources which later forced ahoms to make an agreement with tribals in which they will send us resources such as food or any other usable things for keeping peace in the region. Britishers just draw their boundaries and put these States into Assam.
@@Tarozhou That's true that our Arunachal wasn't part of India and doesn't have any relation with India historically but also we weren't under the control of any outside kingdoms. Just some parts of tawang was under Tibetan Kingdom but the rest 95% part of tribals areas were always free from outside dominance. We used to engaged in inter-tribe wars to expand one's own territory. There have been some very gruesome wars happened between my (Nyishi tribe) and Apatani tribe which have been told by my grandparents.

Sir the male picture you used to represent both Naga and mizo are interchanged, the male picture on the mizo side is a Naga and on the Naga side the male picture is a mizo, more over mizos are never known as head hunter, where as Nagas practice head hunting untill late 50s in some Naga community. Not intending to hurt anyone but any content with correct representation attracts more viewers and positive openion about the content creator. Thanks
Thanks for the comment. Actually, those pictures are just representational and depictional in nature. It's very tough to get such photos for the Northeast people. I tried my best to present them well. In addition I have also tendered a disclaimer in the beginning of the video.

Mizos were also head hunters
Casteism as a practice was/is propagated in the northeast by ppl whose ancestry lies in the mainland, whose ancestors converted the natives in the plains to Hinduism. Otherwise, native religion (animism/totemism) of all groups anywhere in the world revolved around worship of the elements, deities and ancestors. Hinduism is one religion that has retained major attributes of the original religion, but it itself isn't the original source of worship of sun, fire, thunder, mountains, etc. The present attempt by some to appropriate it all to Hinduism is untenable.
Further, the term 'anusuchit janjati' meaning SCHEDULED TRIBES can't loosely be used synonymously with religion-based stratification. Understand that scheduled tribe, scheduled caste, OBC, etc are a creation of political and administrative exigency and expressly listed and provided for in the constitution of India.
Again the term adivasi simply means natives, those who live off the land....'sons of the soil'. In colloquial usage it's come to mean something else. Suffice it to say, everyone is an adivasi in the real sense of the term. Babies don't just appear flying down the sky.
Untouchability as a concept and practice was/is alien to the people in the hills of the northeast. It was practiced in the Hindu society but it's by law illegal now and liable to prosecution. When nagas and mizos were never Hindu and animism/totemism the progenitor of all religions and not exclusive to Hinduism which only retained certain elements of it, the appellation of "untouchability" is a non-starter, fallaciously irrelevant.
Therefore, youtubers and pseudo scholars with half-baked ideas and abysmal appreciation for sheer reason and logic should desist from spreading ignorance.
Sir, adivasi matalab tribal people hota ha untouchability nehi.

Your forefathers were not that smart or brave like us during British Invasion they easily gave up and surrendered before British in your own backyard even the first missionary fist visit was in Namsang Mon district (presently in arunachal) but rejected, had it not been rejected The Konyak would have been the most advanced tribe among the Nagas even today. So the history is upside down here, nothing to be so proud nor to look down the tag backwards without knowing the real reason. Nagas in general are still backwards.
that's such a stupid statement....The British rule Mizo or Naga lately not beacuase they can't nor fear...its all about the interest of the Emipire..are you saying one of the largest empire to ever exist in history is afraid of some tribes..
@@manlimnaga1359 British AFRAID of konyaks. 🤣🤣🤣

America missionary spread Christianity in Nagaland not Britisher. Don't mislead people with your wrong information
The topic of untouchability does not arise with respect to the Indian history and culture. The Naga & Mizo culture was completely Foreign to the general Indian populace eho had no idea if these two entities even existed except for some few Indians from Assam. The topic itself doesnt make any sense at all😐
