rivalries between morungs |
| text: |
Nevertheless, there exists between the morung, in spite of the many kinship ties, a certain rivalry. Some forty years ago such a rivalry led to the expulsion of the Bala people and the burning of their houses; it was only after many years of exile that they were permitted to return. Under the Pax Britannica, there was peace and friendship among the morung, but, for all that, every man was convinced that his own morung was superior to all the others. |
