සියලු නාගයෝ

 සියලු නාගයෝ

ඉන්දියාවේ මනිපුර් ප්රාන්තයේ දෙමළ ජනයා ජනවාර්ගික අරගලයක. ඒ ඇතැමුනට අනුව නාග යනු දෙමළ බැවින්.
ලංකාවේ නාගයන් කවුද?
Skirmishes broke out in the state capital Imphal on May 3 after thousands of people from the Naga and Kuki tribes took part in a rally against the majority Meitei ethnic group being afforded special status under India’s “Scheduled Tribe” grouping.
The Meitei community, a largely Hindu ethnic group who account for about 50% of the state’s population, have for years campaigned to be recognized as a scheduled tribe, which would give them access to wider benefits including health, education and government jobs.
