Brief History of British Era in Nagas Homeland & the Beginning of Indo-Naga Conflict

History of the British Era in Naga Homeland During the British colonial period, the Naga people of about 4 millions along with their Homelands were divided and placed into different administrative units between India and Myanmar namely Nagaland state, parts of Manipur, Assam and Arunachal states in India and Sagaing division and part of Kachin state in Myanmar.

Good evening from Manila! As to the sources about Naga history: diverse, scattered sources. HP Blavatsky's books on theosophy, the SECRET DOCTRINE being the monumental ones, is a good start to go thru the history of all India, from ancient Rama Empire days through the times of Akbar/Mugjals or Moguls. Asian history books also, such as La Tourette's (we used this before at the University of the Phiippines), have some relevant accounts of the efforts of earlier emperors to integrate diverse 'unintegrated tribes' into the central government. Do see if you can get accounts of Asoka's pacification and integration campaigns, you can find some relevant notes there about diverse tribes including the Nagas. Encyclopedia pages on history are also quite some pages to start with, then look at the biblio of each article, and then you can endeepen your research. As to other sources, there are those that are only 'for the eyes of mystics' like myself, information that we just can't divulge to the world. (I'm a mystic and already Guru in level of awareness and task.) Intuitively, I knew all along that Nagas refused integration, and were it not for the 'guns of British power' it would be tough for any central government to get them in.

Dear Shimsing,

Welcome to this network of people who are working towards conflict resolution, peacebuilding and development! I see from your brief profile that you have been doing important works for the rights of the ethnic groups and we have some common interest. I hope that we could help each other by exchanging and sharing information, insights and learning and we could even work together to help in resolving the political conflicts in the North-East.
Let's keep in touch and I look forward to hearing from you.

Warm regards,
Bobichand
