    Aux Portes de Saint-Louis: La Gare Routière

    La gare routière de Saint-Louis est un lieu oú transitent des centaines de voitures, ainsi que des miliers de personnes.

The women are the one that sell and the atmosphere is mostly of chaos.

    The song speaks to Naga women and asks them to spread their wings and rise up against discrimination and inspire all of Nagaland and take them to a glorious future.
