need for urgent anthropological research |
| text: |
As anthropologists, we must hope that this remarkable institution, almost unique in character among Indian tribal populations, will be studied in detail as long as it is still in effective operation and there are men who remember the days when the great Angs were absolute rulers of their villages. The time for such studies is running out, but future generations of Nagas will regret it if an institution so important during long periods of their history will remain inadequately recorded. |
