Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Shadows of Naga Insurgency is a fine-grained critique of the Naga struggle for political redemption, the state’s response to it, and the social corollaries and carry-overs of protracted political conflict on everyday life. Offering an ethnographic underview, Jelle Wouters illustrates an ‘insurgency complex’ that reveals how embodied experiences of resistance and state aggression, violence and volatility, and struggle and suffering link together to shape social norms, animate local agitations, and complicate inter-personal and inter-tribal relations in expected and unexpected ways. The book locates the historical experiences and agency of the Naga people and relates these to ordinary villagers’ perceptions, actions, and moral reasoning vis-à-vis both the Naga Movement and the state and its lucrative resources. It thus presses us to rethink our views on tribalism, conflict and ceasefire, development, corruption, and democratic politics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the formation of identity of the Nagas in northeast India in light of the proselytizing efforts by the Americans and the colonization by the British in their search for control over areas inhabited by the Nagas which were perfect for tea plantations. The author explores the westernization of Naga culture, its effect on the Naga Nationalist movement, and how it has led to the formation of modern Naga identity. As a unique indigenous group, the colonization of the Naga people offers fresh insights into our understanding of the processes and effects of colonization in India, as well as its long-term negative effects, particularly with regards to the preservation of traditional beliefs and customs.

Book excerpt: The Naga tribes inhabit the south-eastern foothills of the Himalayas - the border region between India and Burma. Feared as headhunters and shunned by the inhabitants of the plains the Nagas developed a unique material culture and oral tradition. By around the mid 19th century, however, British colonial rule and Baptist missionary activities brought far-reaching changes to Naga culture. After 1947i the Naga Hills were forcibly integrated into the newly formed Indian Union. The result was a bloodywar that raged for more than fifty years - largely unnoticed by the public eye. Only recently the region has been reopened to foreign visitors. The present volume assembles essays byNaga and Western authors, interviews and pictorial contributions dealing with the cultural history and changing identity of the former headhunters.

Download or read book The Nagas written by Julian Jacobs and published by Thames & Hudson. This book was released on 1999-02-01 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nagas of Northeast India, radically different in culture and beliefs from the better-known Hindu peoples of the plains, were renowned in the years before Indian independence for their fierce resistance to British rule and for their practice of head-hunting. Although sharing many social and cultural traits, the thousands of small Naga villages often vary greatly from one another, and the Nagas display both unity and diversity in their dress and ornament. Their vibrant material culture is generously illustrated here in color photographs that display textiles, basketry, jewelry, weapons, metalwork, and carvings. Drawing on a diverse range of historical materials, the authors examine how the notion of tribes came to be applied to the Nagas and point out its subsequent importance in the development of contemporary Naga nationalism.
Download or read book Nagaland written by K. S. Singh and published by South Asia Books. This book was released on 1994 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Anthropological Survey of India launched the People of India project on 2d October 1985 to generate an anthropological profile of all communities of India, the impact on them of change and the development process, and the links that bring them together. All the communities of Nagaland have been surveyed ethnographically for the first time under this project in all their aspects, cultural, biological and linguistic. Firsthand information was generated on the culture and languages of the people. The Anthropometric Survey was extended to Nagaland to generate biological information, which was supplemented by secondary material. This comprehensive ethnographic material on the people of Nagaland is being presented in this volume. An outstanding feature of the ethnographic situation in Nagaland is the emergence and consolidation of the Nagas as a political and territorial community. The people of India project in Nagaland covers twenty-five communities, out of which fifteen are Naga communities scheduled as tribes. Garo, Kuki, Kachari and Mikir are now non-Naga tribal inhabitants of Nagaland. Apart from this there are six communities which have migrated to Nagaland in recent years, to perform various functions for the dominant Naga communities. Nagaland represents a fine model of synthesis of modernity and tradition. The Village Development Board has drawn countrywide attention for its effective role in ensuring popular participation in the development programme at the grassroots level. The different aspects of life and culture covered in this book include demography, dress, agriculture, food, religion, language, arts and crafts, industry, settlement and house pattern, festivals, fairs, socio-political organization, institutions, rituals and ceremonies, including birth, marriage and death rites, and process of development and change. Dr K. S. Singh retired as Director General of the Anthropological Survey of India. Dr N. K. Das was the anthropologist working at the North-East Regional Centre of Anthropological Survey of India at Shillong.
