India’s North East is a hot-spot of natural diversity, which also extends to its people. The region has nurtured a great number of tribes and plains people for centuries. Their folktales, embedded in their oral history, are simple but rich in imagination inspired by the beautiful surroundings. Many of them are 'origin' stories while others bear a moral message and are peppered with humour.
