Book excerpt: This paper explores the inequality in Nagaland in terms of unequal development, social position and other related development activities which contributes to differentiate between the two that is 'advanced' and 'backward' tribes. Social inequality is omnipresent, prevalent and resistant to social policies aimed at bringing about a substantial measure of equality in practice. Inequality is in fact inevitable and its presence is felt, not only in capitalist society where there is massive inequality of wealth and income, but also elsewhere in tribal society where there is no regulation of economic markets. This study would also analyze how the advent of Christianity has led to the emergence of class divisions in certain context as there is a generation gap of different tribes. Today, Naga society is polarized into sections of stratified positions of so called 'advanced' and 'backward' tribes in Nagaland. The designation of 'Backward Tribes' has been tagged on the people who inhabit the eastern districts of Nagaland which borders with Myanmar in the East. And thereby the paper focuses on the four districts in Eastern Nagaland namely Mon, Longleng, Kiphire and Tuensang. The paper is an attempt to look at how inequalities have multidimensional angles and therefore there is a need to understand in all aspects of social, political, economic and cultural inequalities. The emerging polarized society in this small state is a question of ill-governance of how some sections of people used their hegemonic power over the subaltern subjects. The study is primarily concerned with the challenges which generally observes that the society consist of equality and inequality actually do not exist in a tribal society. However, equality is a value and inequality is an empirical fact which exists in the modern society. And therefore locating the demand of its separate statehood as a result of unequal access to developmental issues in Eastern Nagaland in India. Thus, the question arises whether one needs to look at state's functionaries or other possible means to which this particular section of people succumbed to their rights to have access to development. The classification within the Naga tribes has been made with the view to give preferential treatment to those tribes who were lacking in certain spheres. However, the idea of developing and having equal share in all perspectives with an overall and an inclusive manner has met with little success. Nagas in Eastern Nagaland continue to remain 'backward' and less developed when compared with other districts and tribes of Nagaland. The study also focuses to understand the State policies keeping in mind that Eastern Nagaland does need some special treatment and considerations in the development context specially. While I attempt to explain that genuine state policies positively led to access equal opportunity in the distributive aspects. Ensuring the capability of the backward sections, the state should attempt to bring equal status of human living conditions at least to the possible ways. Basically, the paper is interested to unfold three categories unequal development, how Christianity played a vital role in imparting education to advanced tribes and now how they are dominating the minority tribes as a result of demanding its separate state in Eastern Nagaland.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a qualitative researched book about the Cultural Heritage of Sangtam Naga and the impact of Globalization in the Sangtam Society. Culture is the self identity of every individual in the society and each culture has its own beauty and charm. The Northeastern part of India is a land of tribal people having very rich cultural heritage that speaks the facet of the great culture of our country (India). However, very little is known about them by the rest of the world and even in India today. The study of tribal society and culture of the Northeastern states is therefore one of the interesting and challenging tasks. Through the study of any tribal society and culture like Nagas, one can learn many hidden lessons from them. Like many other tribal people of the world, the Naga culture is under threat from many circles because of which their society is now turning to a different phase of development. It is highly regrettable to note the fast disappearance of the beautiful Naga cultural heritage due to influence of the westernization. As its trend continues, there will be hardly anything of the traditional values system and it would be difficult even to remember the past cultural history in future unless they are properly recorded today. Any given culture is subject to change according to change of time. As a sum total of human's effort, they adjust themselves with different incoming socio-economic environment and improve their modes of living. As a group, dynamic culture is adopted, changed and learned. Every culture of the world has its own charms and the Sangtam Culture is one, which is enchanting with its multifarious hue, beauty and richness. However, there is no systematic documentation of the Sangtam Cultural Heritage till today. In addition, the degree of disappearance is found to be very high due to various reasons. All these are discussed in this book.During our forefather's time, the Sangtams maintained the communitarian values among the people in the community. The community shared love, peace, helping, equality, unity and co-operation etc. But with the coming of western education, modernization, science and technology which mould the society not only in educating but in western tradition, lifestyle, dress code, mass media, easy and comfort life. Which lead the community of Sangtam Naga to decline the communitarian values in the community. After the coming of Christianity, the Sangtam people could not hold both Christian Cultures along with their traditional values systems any longer. It is true, that the Naga traditional belief and practices could not hold the influences of Christianity. As a result, a total change was brought to their society due to impact of Christianity within a short period of time. The common origin, migration and settlement of the Sangtam Nagas, their history, society, culture and common way of life may attract any sincere researchers, writers and scholars. Their folk tales, folk songs, dance and ceremonies, arts, dress, ornaments, institutions etc, speak about the beautiful Sangtam society and culture. The traditional institutes like Murong (Roshengvi), Vil¬lage Khel, Village elders and use of Logdrum (Singkong) etc., and their philosophical meaning and usage are extremely valu-able. The Britishers and the American Missionaries were amazed to see all these kinds of Naga Culture and society when they entered into Naga territory. The main objective of writing and research about this book is to examine the features of the Sangtam society and culture from ancient to contemporary. For this purpose, the Sangtam culture, society and their value systems was selected as a case study.This beautiful hill people's culture is gradually disappearing. As a result, the youngsters are not concerned much about their own culture and customs. For this purpose, writing of such documentation was considered the need of the hour.

Book excerpt: The title of this book 'Nagas in the 21st Century' is both an adaptation and a (modest) self-proclaimed sequel to Verrier Elwin's (1969) iconic Nagas in the Nineteenth Century. In this anthology, Elwin introduces and brings together a collection of administrative reports, tour diaries, and ethnographic descriptions on Naga tribes, all written in the 19th century. During the colonial era Naga tribes turned into an ethnological hotbed, even a cradle of British social anthropology. Back then, writings on Nagas were many, varied and colourful, and included rituals and religion, political structures and sentiments, taboos and omens, dress and ornaments, funeral customs, head-hunting, monolithic cultures, and so on. This ubiquity of colonial accounts, however, contrasts starkly with the scant material generated during the post-colonial period. In fact, as a corollary of the protracted Indo-Naga conflict scholars working on Nagas now grapple with a decades-wide ethnographic void. This, however, is now starting to change. The contributors to this book take Elwin's anthology, or other colonial sources, as a point of reference, and then link these texts to their own areas of research offering critiques, comparisons, and contrasts as they proceed. A number of Naga tribes are the subject of essays which address various aspects of contemporary Naga society including Naga identity; the Naga 'village republic'; transition in traditional governance; the significance of dreams; the effects of Christian conversion; the Hornbill Festival; a Naga understanding of the head-hunting culture; Naga nationalist politics; festival continuity and change and post-conflict society. Taken together the chapters aim to offer a set of insights and new departures into the study of contemporary Naga society.
