Year: 2025 impression
Bibliography: 140pp
About the Book
The environmental history of the Naga Hills, including the physical nature of the region, the terrain, soil and climate, natural vegetation, and the relationship between the forest
and the Nagas, is critically examined.
Effective administration in this region was introduced only in 1881. The book explores the development of colonial discourses regarding nature's risks, the control of natural
resources, and indigenous responses to changing patterns of environmental control under colonialism. It also reveals the motives and role of the colonial state behind the steps
taken for conservation and forest regulations.
