Nagaland: Dimasa Naisho Hosom flays wrong depiction of Dimasa culture

Dimapur, Sep. 28 (EMN): Dimasa Naisho Hosom (DNH) has expressed solidarity with the Dimasa frontal organisations on the issue of “wrong depiction” of Dimasa tradition/ customs and practice in the movie ‘Semkhor’ directed by Aimee Baruah.

DNH argued that the contention of the film, being a fiction, does not hold water when the depiction was of the Semsa (Dimasa) of Semkhor.

DNH wonder how could they depict without authenticating the facts in the movie. It stated that the Dimasa tribe maintains very unique tradition of male and female clans consisting of 40 male clans and 42 female clans, which are equally given importance.  It also stated that the ground zero reporting by NDH depicted the reality and not the one shown or narrated by the Aimee Baruah, the renowned Assamese director and actor.  DNH said Baruah should apologise to the Dimasas without delay.
