Description
Nagaland, a turbulent tribal land waking up from its dreamy isolation into the din and clatter of the twentieth century. Here the tensions and passions of a tribal society mingle with the mainstream of Indian nationalism.
The book presents a multi-dimensional picture of the land, its people and their aspirations. It throws new light on crucial phases in the political evolution of the Nagas, and exposes the sinister role of foreign powers in setting the peaceful Hills aflame with insurgency.
