Jeevan Rekha The Lifeline

This documentary is an attempt to showcase the lives of those people whom the world knows as destitute. It is true that their families have betrayed them but they did manage to make one what they call family a home. Therefore, the documentary is not meant to arouse a sense of pity among its viewers but would appreciate if their attitude towards life may be an inspiration for those in despair to give life a second chance to give life a better chance.

Just WOW! India's Grandest Tribal Celebration | Hornbill Festival Nagaland

We ticked off another big one from our bucket list: The Hornbill Festival The Festival of all Nagaland Festivals showcase to the world the beautiful and talented tribes of Nagaland. We were just amazed by the people and how this festival turned out to be. Not only did we tick this off from our bucket list, this was hands down THE best festival we have ever been to, and take my word for it, you should too. The festival started with the a Big Bang opening ceremony and inauguration by the vice president of India and an artist (Imnainla Jamir) playing electric guitar rendition of the national anthem, from that till the end we were just mind-blown. One of the main intent of the festival is for the tribes to showcase their artistic talents. Their ornaments were quite unique and undoubtedly some of the best handicrafts we have seen in this country so far. And almost every young Naga folk we met was a talented musician or dancer! It’s really great to see how both the people and government want to preserve their history and yet embrace all modernizations. There isn’t any other country in this world that has this kinda diversity. Within the same state, the language, the culture, food the cuisine changes every 100 kilometres. There are about 16 tribes in Nagaland and around 11 participated in this festival this year. Tribes : Angami, Ao, Chakhesang, Chang, Dimasa Kachari, Khiamniungan, Konyak, Kuki, Lotha, Phom, Pochury, Rengma, Sangtam, Sumi, Tikhir, Yimkhiung, Zeliang.

Khasi - Im Land der Frauen - Matriarchat

Der indische Bundesstaat Meghalya liegt nördlich von Bangladesch und südlich von Assam in den Vorläufern des Himalaya. Meghalaya heißt übersetzt: Wo die Wolken wohnen. In dieser Region hat sich beim Volksstamm der Khasi die matrilineare Gesellschaftsform erhalten, das heißt, die Erbfolge richtet sich immer nach der weiblichen Linie. Im Bundesstaat Meghalaya ist das sogar in der Verfassung verankert. Obwohl die meisten Khasis während der Kolonialisierung der Engländer zum Christentum übergetreten sind, halten sie an ihrer traditionellen Lebensweise fest. The Indian state of Meghalya lies north of Bangladesh and south of Assam in the foothills of the Himalayas. Meghalaya means "where the clouds live". In this region, the Khasi tribe has preserved its matrilineal social structure, meaning that inheritance is always based on the female line. In the state of Meghalaya, this is even enshrined in the constitution. Although most Khasis converted to Christianity during the British colonization, they still hold on to their traditional way of life.
