The tribal communities represent an important social category of Indian social structure. The tribals are said to be the original inhabitants of India. India is a country of multiracial stock. Different types of groups occupy different parts of India, having their own cultural characteristics and level of development. After independence, lots of changes have taken place in the tribal society at large. Today, most of these tribes have come into contact with the advanced community and have learnt cultural traits of their neighbours. They have borrowed the patterns of their dress and developed an intricate material economy. Some of these tribes have progressed at a tremendous speed, effecting in a few years, changes which have taken centuries to achieve in other areas. Hence, this study mainly focused on Socio-cultural Change among Tangkhul Nagas of Jessami Village in Ukhrul District of Manipur.
