About the Book

The Nagas, with a golden skin, black hair and slanting eyes, are classified as one of the Mongoloid stock and trans-migratory races in India. The Nagas were known for their rich cultural heritages, but their unique history remains unknown to the outside world owing to non exploitation of their cultural history.

The book, a comprehensive one based on oral tradition of fourteen major Naga tribal histories, brings out as to how traditional Naga village institutions were transformed into modernity through the contact of the Western Culture.

The book may be useful for research scholars and students of History and Anthropology and readers interested in the subjects dealt in.
