  • Abstract:
  • The Angami Naga, an indigenous ethnic group located in Northeast India, possess a cultural heritage that is profoundly intertwined with traditional values, customary laws, and established social structures. Nevertheless, with the emergence of contemporary ethical standards shaped by globalization, educational advancements, and state governance, there has been a notable tension between longstanding traditions and modern moral paradigms. This paper investigates the tensions that arise between traditional values and contemporary ethical standards within the Angami Naga community. It delves into the historical underpinnings of their customs, the effects of colonial and post-colonial influences, and the challenges introduced by the forces of modernization. This study conducts a thorough analysis of oral traditions, historical records, and archaeological findings, illuminating significant areas of contention, including land ownership, justice systems, gender roles, and religious transformations. This paper seeks to elucidate the ways in which the Angami Naga confront and manage the intricate challenges associated with maintaining their cultural identity in the context of shifting ethical paradigms. The results of this study significantly enhance ongoing dialogues regarding cultural resilience, the dynamic relationship between tradition and modernity, and the ethical challenges encountered by indigenous communities in today's society.
