AskNAGAS Is this true?
Is this true?
I saw a reel showing Dzukou Valley in Nagaland, which is a beautiful place and is widely associated with Nagaland, right? Even people from outside the state who are into travelling and exploring often tell me they want to visit Dzukou Valley when I mention that Iām from Nagaland.
But on this particular reel showing Dzukou Valley in Nagaland, almost all the comments were filled with people saying they couldnāt wait to explore this place in Manipur. People were arguing that others should acknowledge that it belongs to both Nagaland and Manipur. Some were also saying that the name āDzukouā comes from the Mao language spoken in Manipur.
But to me, that sounds rather ridiculous. The name comes from the Angami language, right? People were also claiming that the majority of the valley lies in Manipur. Honestly, reading those comments was pissing me off because it felt like they were trying to take the credit away from Nagaland.
Someone, please educate me on this.
