Each of these tribes living in Nagaland has ancient customs, rich traditional culture including marriage culture, food habit, dress code, linguistic varieties and life styles. These all are unique in size and dimension, quantity and quality and in heterogeneity. Influential impact of scientific and technological development has been affecting the cultural diversity of the tribal communities of Nagaland. The aftermath result of the impact has appeared to be positive as well as negative. Modernization which is manifested in almost every field of human life has touched the very core of the cultural diversity of the tribal communities of Nagaland.
