Chakhroma Public Organization (CPO) has appreciated the stand taken by the All Assam Sema Naga Council (AASNC) against the lyrics of the Bihu song used for the Guinness World Record attempt at the Sarusajai Stadium in Guwahati on April 14.
Several groups, including the All Assam Naga Welfare Society, have slammed the use of an allegedly 'racist song' that calls Nagas 'okora', meaning stupid or dumb.
Naga communities and personalities in Assam have expressed outrage at lyrics in the Bihu song by Bihu exponent Ranjit Gogoi sung for around 11,300 female dancers and male drummers for the “largest Bihu performance at a single venue” to create two world records acknowledged by Guinness at the Sarusajai Stadium in Guwahati on April 13.
