Change and Continuity in Angami Naga Traditional Morality

In this work, Shürhisieü brings to light the Angami Naga traditional notions of morality and ways in which Naga Christians reconcile their understanding of traditional morality with Christian morality. She explores this tension by looking at the Angami concepts of kenyü and mhosho in the pre-Christian Angami context. Her examination of this reveals how ‘individualism’ emerges with the introduction of Christianity and how contemporary Angami Christians today live with the traditional ideas in actual practice. Shürhisieü’s work provides the Angami Nagas with a broader perspective of their own ideas/practices and contributes to the wider scholarship on Naga morality.
