We being a family of three sisters its like based on a true story for me, I was waiting eagerly for this to release, It just potrays a lot of my family, my dad is still alive and my uncles are already into our properties which is not inherited but built by my parents with their hard earned money. My life in this movie would be the warak tetsuti😆 thank you so much to the whole team for the wonderful work 👍

[@chitenpongen5848]

Well scripted and projected the societal issue as we cope up and transcends in this modern world. Especially when apathetic people with greed distort the true form of the time immemorial good cultural values, it is an eye-opener and thought-provoking social message for many. However, with the inquisitive mind and receptive heart to learn, I just want to put up a question i.e what about those women marrying non-locals? I understand by the definition itself of "acquired property rights". So, in this case, does it mean that if the women acquire property anywhere in Nagaland and even if she is married to a non-naga or for instance adopted a non-naga child by choice of remaining a spinster the sole right goes to the latter? Eventually, as by the prerogative of constitutional rights, the ownership of the property rights will go to the husband or the adopted child. So, my question is won't it impinge or impact negatively the Naga's at large in the long term? Just keeping in mind with economic strength the possibilities are limitless. And does the women have the right to buy inherited lands, even the lands owned by the clan in villages? Today the issue of identity is having multifaceted complexities either with the intend of homogenization by the far-right populist and protectionism in international politics. Not forgetting the records we have of our neighbouring states like Tripura, Assam and the political developments taking place in other states that threaten the indigenous people. As we know the world is not an ideal place and will never be at any point of given time, as there will always be external forces that try to dilute and get their hands on wherever or for whatever bigger ulterior motives either by coercion or allurement, though with good intentions we try to implement positive changes and accept every alien to live among us. I may sound like a bigot and male chauvinist but my intention here is to let you guys ponder beyond just what our eyes meet. I know the issue is absurd and ambiguous as it may seem to even discuss but I think intellects with far-sighted minds must deliberate on this issue delicately beyond the emotional and social evil lens. It's a very sensitive issue and I feel, It's like 'killing two birds with one stone. When we are trying to solve a problem with the provision of legal rights and justice at the same time creating complexities for the future generations to juggle between democratic rights and cultural practices that protect and keep our identity intact. Lastly, just rephrasing what the Clan head told in the video that, 'acquired properties', after some generations might become 'inherited properties' is a bigger question in itself? Having said that I don't condone any form or shape of mistreatment towards any human being.

Hats off to the whole team for this wonderful message.
