Hi Blogger,
Thanks for this wonderful list of reads – really a treasure trove of good reads!
This shawl does not belong to Angami tribe. Please remove this.
If you are from Nagaland, I’m sure you are correct. So I have removed the reference. In the post you will see the book that was used as a reference to describe it as Angami. Apologies for the error.
