Rongmei Outlook Towards Life, Death and the Afterlife

Author(s) Hiamthuiyang James
Country India
Abstract The Rongmei tribe, an indigenous Naga community from Northeast India, has a rich cultural and spiritual heritage that shapes their outlook on life, death, and the afterlife. Life for the Rongmei is deeply intertwined with nature and community, emphasising harmony with the environment and strong social bonds. Death is viewed as a natural part of the life cycle, and elaborate funeral rites are performed to honour the deceased and ensure their peaceful transition to the afterlife. The Rongmei believe in the continuation of the soul’s journey after death, where it reunites with ancestors and the divine. Ancestral worship and rituals play a significant role in maintaining this connection. Despite the influence of Christianity, many Rongmei people strive to preserve their traditional beliefs and practices, often blending them with new religious influences. This study explores the Rongmei tribe’s unique perspectives on life, death, and the afterlife, highlighting the importance of cultural preservation and syncretism in their spiritual practices.
