r/Northeastindia

I heard there's Naga sponsors for team India there

then they wonder why they’re viewed so poorly here
also the rice bag thing doesn’t even make sense lmfao

Sharing an A•chik song that I think beautifully captures a part of our cultural story. The lyrics speak about our ancestors, the old stories passed down through generations, life in the hills, traditional A·chik instruments, and the importance of standing firmly in our own roots. I found the combination really interesting because the song is distinctly A·chik in its imagery and identity while expressing a Christian worldview. I’ve included the original lyrics with an English translation (translated by me so it can have some errors, the translations are not literal but I have tried to keep it more flowing, natural to english wording style) below so that more people from across Northeast India can understand and appreciate it:

“Jatinkoan tinode baikugenma kambede
Will the peak (of our tribe) still endure?

Ritimgital nikoba bibal sale siloba
Even if seen like a new line, even if flowers bloom beautifully.

Ama ambi gitchamni golpo gitcham urangni
Of the old stories of our grandmothers and mothers.

Apa sagi manenga, goltidinge sikia
Our late fathers scolded us and taught us with a stick.

Rama dile mesoka
Guided us and showed us the path

Gangitchamkon chimponge surikoan kolame
Gathering even the old clothes and worn rags.

Ang manana batode jepo tangka dongjaode
Even if I get, or even if I have no money in my pocket.

Chibolokni chikoa amang senga ringjawa
I will not drink the water of the muddy pool even if it is clear.

Jawa jaongijako kasin chidarenikosa
Leaving what others have, [I will drink] only from the cold waterfall.

Chinga ringe okkaa
Drinking (from the cold waterfall) we are full(fulfilled)

Chinggitade gri asong gimiko
There is no one like us for our native land.

Jatango chadenge achubatgipao
Standing on our own feet in the place we were born.

Sanasa pasikna chingna donako
For whom should we make excuses for what is kept for us?

Chinga hoe achiksa ringa sulba chingnisa
We are A'chiks (Garos), and the song's tune is also ours.

Dama bangsi adil chigringsa
The drum, the flute, and the horn sound so sweet.

Hoe ringa gitelna rasong ona jisuna
Singing to give glory to the Lord, to Jesus.

Komijawa jawa gipinna
It will not decrease or be inferior to others.(will not bow down to others)

Abri mittin mittino angni ano angjongrang
Deep in the hidden hills are my mothers and my younger brothers.

Tebil bijak ritchue dongnugenba daoban
Even now they will hide, joining the leaves of the table.

Churing chanaba chimonge ramasamni akoan
Gathering earth by the roadside to boil water from the stream.

Pura weko sikaba ake bolbijakoan
Plucking the tree leaves and making rice flour.

Mainasa nisia
Why is it destroyed?

Chatchi maia deachim sani deasaanchim
What kin or relatives were the children, whose children were they?

Chola gipok kruoa kni gitchinge chitoa
Wearing a white shirt, combing the hair to the side.

Katta doka baonisa? Balwa balan dingtangsa
From where are the words spoken? The blowing wind is different.

Chuongan pattijokba nambatakon onjokba
Enough has been blessed, the better has been given.

Haiwa jringjot tanggipa
Come, behold the one who lives forever.”

Poraiani aro knani gimin mitela!!
(Thanks for reading and listening)

God's favourite child are you guys for living in such a beautiful place😭❤️

took this from the teenher india subreddit

a group of girls cornered another girl in the washroom of a coaching centre

they beat her, stripped her of her clothes, cut her hair, and humiliated her while recording it

absolutely disgusting, hope action was taken against them

“This is pu Hemjang Haokip of Khunkho—a Kuki village.
The elderly villager was abducted and brutality killed by NSCN-IM while staying at his farmhouse and collecting firewood
His hands were tied with the same rope he had used to tie the firewood he was collecting.”

seeing these news from manipur being quite common is heartbreaking. as a child belonging to both the meitei and kuki community, all i feel is disdain for every single perpetrator. i hope that eventually peace will prevail, and all the victims—whether meitei, kuki or naga—will finally be respected and put at rest. those who suffered will never truly be at peace until this war ends, and when people stop pointing fingers at communities

Nazareth is the next top mma prospect from India, about time we send him.

Would be sick to see two Zo fighters in Ufc (Nazareth and Van)

Indo myanmar unity will be great represent too with them both

Most of us are rejected just because we don't look like conventional Indian heroes.
