Both uragas and nags were same but classified as different races.
And thank you for starting such thread.

This is the story I found about gurda and naga rivalry
Once Kadru called Vinata and asked her to tell her the colour of Uccaissravas, the divine white horse which emanated from the ocean when it was churned by the devas and asuras to generate nectar. Without any guile Vinata said that it was pure white. Kadru contradicted her and said that its tail was black. An argument ensued, and Kadru challenged Vinata to a bet, saying that whoever lost the bet would have to become the other's servant. Intending to cheat Vinata, Kadru called her thousand sons to coil around Uccaissravas's tail neatly so that it appeared black in colour. While some of her sons obeyed her instructions, others refused to oblige her. Those who disobeyed her instructions were cursed by Kadru, and she prophesied that that they would be charred alive in the sarpa satra yagana (snake sacrifice) that would be performed by King Janamejaya of Hastinapur. Kashyapa was upset by this curse, but Brahma who happened to be there told him such a curse was essential as serpents had become very dangerous to society. Brahma then gave Kashyapa the antidote for snake poisoning. Kadru won the bet as the ngas had wound around Uccaissravas's tail, giving it a black shade. Vinata thus became the slave of Kadru.

On another occasion, Kadru suggested to Vinata that Vinata should take Kadru, and that Garuda should take her nga sons, to the beautiful island of Ramaniyaka in the middle of the ocean[1] within the abode of snakes.[6] Vinata and Garuda did as directed. After reaching the destination Kadru asked Garuda to take her sons to the abode of the sun to pay their respectful obeisance. Garuda carried the nga sons of Kadru on his back and approached the sun. As he flew closer, the ngas could not withstand the heat and started falling off him to the ground in a faint, on the island of Virana. Hearing the cries of her children, Kadru was deeply distressed and blamed Garuda for what had happened to her children. Vinata, distressed by her son's plight and, following a suggestion by Kadru, asked Garuda to bring water of the Ganga from the nether world. Garuda obeyed and brought the water to the southern bank of the Gautami river and sprinkled it on the snakes, which then revived. The place where this incident occurred is called Nagalaya, the abode of the snakes.In another version of the story related in the Adi Parva of the Valmiki Ramayana, it is said that when the ngas fainted and fell to the ground due to intense heat of the sun, Kadru offered prayers to Indra to come to her children's rescue. Indra promptly created rain showers to fall on the ngas and they were restored from their charred state. They then lived in the island of Ramaniyaka.

West has only vampire werewolf and witch .
We have a mythology that is a treasure if explored well. Instead of icchadari nagins mayuri, nevala and bees and crapy dayins chandramonies and patalies .
We should be proud our heritage

And I agree with you.Our mythology is so rich.The Mahabharata is an epic which surpasses the Illiad and the Odyssey both together.We have the Ramayana,the Puranas,the Manusmriti and many more things.It's really sad that TV shows choose to promote pathetic superstitious things like dayans,chudails,mor and nevla instead.

Ashi they even don't show nagin also in a true sense or anything near to logic..I mean seriously which nagin will become kaali maa or gain 5heads

To be honest,in shows like that we should never expect anything such as logic.Ekta turned the show into an Icchadhari Zoo.
