The work explains how the Naga population perceived their meeting point with the institutions of the Indian state in the midst of a conflict zone, especially the army, the paramilitary forces, and documents what it feels like to live in a conflict zone and the constrains that it cultivates in people, especially the young.
This volume is an account of the Naga ethnic movement going on in India since 1918, covering both historical and contemporary aspects of the conflict. Based on over a decade of ethnographic work among the Naga rebels and movement zones, personal interviews, and secondary data, the author offers a compelling on-the-ground narrative of the Naga armed conflict, and explains how it has affected the daily lives of the Naga people. The book presents and analysis of narratives of people who have thought about the conflict, been born into it, taken part in it, or have been directly or indirectly influenced by it. It includes glimpses into their love for their land, the poignant mix of identity, politics, emotions, culture as well as the very real inter-ethnic differences that fuel the conflict.
