Dimapur, Jan. 18 (EMN): The Zeliangrong Civil Organisations (ZCOs) comprising Zeliangrong Baudi, Zeliangrong Youth Front and Zeliangrong Students’ Union have expressed their gratitude towards Union minister of state RK Ranjan Singh, who attended the community’s biggest post harvest festival “Gaan Ngai” as the chief guest on Jan. 15.

Being a renowned educationist and scholar apart from being the Union minister of state for External Affairs and Education in the Union govt., Singh’s message delivered on the occasion reflected his character and his in-depth knowledge on the historical background and roots of Zeliangrong, an update from Zeliangrong Baudi (AMN) informed.

‘ZCOs have been observing all the wishes and messages of dignitaries that have come across in various social media groups and also published in various newspapers regarding “Gaan Ngai” festival. We are really happy and proud to see all the messages mentioning that “Gaan Ngai” is the biggest festival of Zeliangrong community, compared to some messages last year which vaguely mentioned that “Gaan Ngai” is the festival of Kabui tribe’, it stated.

It said that Zeliangrong people are bonded by blood and cannot be separated by administrative manipulation like the so-called separate tribe recognition as “Zeliang”, “Kabui”, “Zeme”, “Liangmai”, “Rongmei”, etc.

The history of the people (Zeliangrong) is a history of common ancestral origin therefore, whoever is trying to distort historical facts on the basis of administrative manipulation is only exposing their lack of reasoning ability, it added.
