- Last week, I had an opportunity to attend the Tekru-Nge Celebration in Jessami. The festival celebrated under the theme "Walking through the diversity and richness of Jessami" from January 19- 21.
Jessami is a village in Ukhrul district, Manipur, India. Jessami is a border village in the extreme north of Manipur State and borders with Meluri, a border village of Nagaland State. Being nearer to Nagaland, the town used to get electricity from Nagaland until the government of Manipur installed a 33 KV Sub-Power station in 2011 to supply power from Manipur.
The inhabitants of Jessami are Chakesang. As it is in the border of Manipur and Nagaland, various languages including Chakesang, Tangkhul, Manipuri and Nagamese are commonplace.
The first battle with the Japanese in Indian soil was fought in Jessami. On 28 March 1944, first battalion of the Assam Regiment fought a fierce battle with the Japanese 31 Division. The battle led to strengthening of defenses at Kohima, which played a role in turning the tide of the Second World War in favour of the Allied Force.
Jessami Village has four khels and during this festival the villagers play cultural dances and folk songs by khel wise. All the villagers both male and female wear traditional attire.
Tekru-Nge festival.

I have been to jasami before, I will definitely visit again.
It's a wonderful place
Nagas are found in almost all the north-eastern states of India. Because Nagas came through the Myanmar corridor, many Naga tribes didn't went further and remained in Myanmar. Yet, many Naga tribes migrated farther to Makhel in Tahamzam, present day Senapati district, Manipur. Later, dispersed into different directions. Those Naga tribes who were dispersed from Makhel are, Angami, Chakhesang, Rengma, Pochury, Zeme, Liangmai, Rongmei or ( Zeliangrong), Poumai, Maram, Mao( though many still remained in that areas). These Makhel descendants( progenitors) are known as, "Tenyemi" family of Nagas.

Are des chakhesang tribe living in jessami belongs to ukhrul district.....
Yes there’s a small population of Chakhesang Naga tribe living under Ukhrul district of Manipur inhabiting 2 villages namely Jessami and Krowemi (Soraphung)
Manipuri?
How many houses are there in Jessami?
Around 600 + household
@@weyepemekrishu4307 that means there must be around 3000 people living in that village.
I wonder why Manipur Govt is not giving ST recognition to Chakesang tribe when they can give ST status to Angami and Sema who are less than 100 in Manipur.
@@hellovi1472 is there any possibility of bringing the two village under map and administration of Nagaland ?
Nagaland chakhesangs and Ukhrul chakhesangs doesn't have good relationships imo... they're happy here
@@Brokeman86we do maintain good relationship with our Brethrens from other side of the border. Live and let live
Apunitu jessami laga manu ase
Jessami is not nagaland Or wat I'm confused please
Due to artificial boundaries by British divide and rule policy, Jessami and Krowemi villages were separated from their fellow Chakhesang brethrens from Phek district of Nagaland and merged under Ukhrul district of Manipur
nagas without border
Mashung lakei ❤ .we all are one nagas without borders .
No place for arrow mindset.
Truee! ❤
Susan kahaan hai
can they speak Tangkhul?
Yes
Matui thei khalai ye yah!!! 😂
They are speaking Tangkhul dialect as it is the common language in Ukhrul district.

@@joylison93shimray42 ta khalai lu yah.. TEKRÜ - NGE li takhavai salu.... 😊
How many Chakhesang villages are there in Ukhrul Manipur ?
There are two... Jessami and Krowemi(Soraphung)
@@weyepemekrishu4307 wow shocking never knew there are Chakhesang Naga's in Manipur anyways thank you for your kind information.....again any idea how they ended up in Manipur and is there any possibility of merging with Nagaland if the people of the villages wants to ?
There are poumai villages(Phek dist)in Nagaland too.
Govt should give tribe recognition to Chakhesang in Manipur and Poumai in Nagaland.
Not necessarily that the whole tribe get benefitted but the Villages within the Border should be recognize and allowed to represent their tribe with dignity.

2 villages i.e 1.jessami and 2.krowemi (soraphung)
Why?
