About the Book

The Nagas belong to multi ethnic groups and sub-groups, but with similarity in physical features and affinity in culture. Before the advent of the British to the Naga Hills, the Nagas were in a state of confinement as they followed the traditions of their forefathers in all socio-economic and political aspects. Though British administration brought changes in Naga society yet certain traits of traditional life and culture persisted.

The book focuses on the scenario of social and cultural change that is taking place in the Naga society today.
