“We are fond of calling ourselves Nagas with heads held high but sadly, we know very little about ourselves,” asserts the author who is a NPSC cadre and currently serving as Inspector of Excise.
The author adds that “the book covers a broad spectrum on various topics such as Naga History, Nagaland Geography, Economy, Naga polity, miscellaneous topics, festivals, and important Naga personalities. This book is narrative in nature.” Another supplementary book titled ‘Nagaland Encyclopedia’ has also been released.
