A drama entitled “STOP” was enacted in Nagamese by the CTC students that showcased some of the major issues that hide under the masks of hostility and religiosity of the present Naga Society. It attempted to bring to light the evils like patriarchy, tribalism, factionalism, corruption, dishonesty and ignorance which are slowly creating unrest in our lives and in our land. The drama challenged the people to “Stop” being complacent and to voice out against such evils.
