The Naga imbroglio : a personal perspective

Written by one of the senior-most Naga journalists, the book is presented in the form of an informal letter to the Naga people, raising various issues confronting contemporary Naga Society. What the author has attempted to do is to raise the Naga mind and his perceived rights to a higher plane, beyond mere symbolisms. e believes that while fighting for one's cause, it is as important to wish for everyone else the best that one would want for oneself and one's people; and to actually help others to achieve their highest potentials.
The book is also a clarion call to the rest of India, leaders and led, for statesmanship and the author presents his. vision of what India could become. He maintains that knowledge of history alone. would be inadequate in providing proper perspectives unless one also has a sense of history and occasion.
The author takes the position that an early settlement of the Naga Problem is a must but argues that any settlement must be "wholesome" in order to be final and advocates a holistic approach. Often brutally frank, "a climate of honest self criticism and free expression" in society is what the author aims for. Primacy of the individual conscience, as a necessary condition for civilized living, rings loud throughout the book.
Although so many decades of fighting has gone on and everyone has heard about "Naga Insurgency", this is the first book on Nagas that attempts to provide "the moral-psychological underpinnings of (this) nationalistic movement.... and the undercurrents that still play importanti roles in the continuing "drama"".
