==== "THE TUSSLE" ====
There's a tussle which ne'er ends, :
The ends are like the sides of a coin,
The coin has the sides vary its own,
The quarrels nev'r ends now and then,
The Thangkhals, themselves called "ZOU" in the past;
The Suktes called them "ZOU",
The Meiteis called them "SUKTE",
The Zous called them "THANGKHALS".
Today the THANGKHALS called themselves "Thangkhal",
The ZOUS called them now "ZOU".
There's truth be'twixt the words,
The words was the tussle,
The tussle was the name,
And the truth is THANGKHAL.
