Pointing out the nature of changes that can be of different dimensions, Swuro stated, “Irrespective of its nature, change can impact life. The world is ever changing, which at times things may not be as what we expect. As a responsible individual one need to be determined and have positive approach.” Commenting that the Naga society is embracing modernisation and westernization, she also added that in a fast changing world, things become complex and in this regard, warned that if not careful one may go out of track pointing out Nagas have become flexible and adjustable.
