Morungexpress instead of endorsing those foreign culture do emphasise more in our own Naga culture. Please know that this Hornbill is suppose to be showcasing our rich & vibrant Culture.I can't help myself laughing at those people out there in the state who are so crazy about this foreigner and that too non other than Korean. Organiser need to be educated that this Foreign culture is only creating a confussion in our fragile society.

I agree with lady bird. This is supposed to be OUR festival, showcassing OUR dying tradition and culture. at the same time, popularising our people and our rich history. Theres nothing wrong in having foreign delegates, infact its good as a cultural exchange and for those village folks who cannot/ maynot get a chance ever to see them live in action. However the problem here is our media, who seem to be crazy about this foreign delegates. Come on for gods sake, you dont have to make news for sake of making news. one article everyday about these delegates is too much. Korean wrestlers arrived. one story. Arirang arrived. another story. Japananese arrived. Thais arrived. Burmese arrived.thtas going back to your archives. All these news dint deserve front page 4 days in a row...We know media is powerful, and if today Korean or other foreign craze is catching fire, its because of you guys, who keep highlighting them...maybe, you should also do a story about your own brothers who ahve attended who dint ...who wanted to but couldnt because of some corrupted officials etc..am sure you'll dig hell lot of such stories if you can only look beyond your foreign delelgates.

I love the coverage. At least I get to read those invitees performance in my home turf, whom otherwise never am exposed to. I'm used to seeing traditional Naga dance and practices every year.....i mean from the tribal festivals through year. so nothing wrong with the flavor coverage.
