There are no systematic historical records of the 'Nagas'. The account of the period of the Hindu Kings of Kamarupa' between the fourth and twelfth century are silent and some notice in the chronicles of ahoms who ruled Assam from 1228 to 1819 A.D. is noticed but no clear idea emerges from these on particular Naga tribes, their religion and culture and relations between various tribes. In this book, Y.L. Roland Shimmi, a Naga himself presents his fist hand study based on authoritative books and culture of the Nagas. The author has recorded glowing details of Naga hills and features of its people; their historical and probablity of origin; their racial affinities; geographical spread out, customs and traditions; religion, principla administrative system; weapons and equipments; the traditional Naga philosophy. In addition, an informed glimpse is provided in the history of Kingdom of Pong -Manipur Scenarion from 1597 to 1826 and tribes of Zemi, Liangmai and Rong mei allied to Kabui who settled in the western mountain tracts of Naga Hills. This book will evoke enormous intersts in scholars and researchers of history, political science, anthropology and general readers alike.

In 1937, Ursula Bower visited Nagaland at the invitation of a friend, and on a dispensary tour encountered the Naga people. She was so taken was with their striking dignity, tribal pride and unique culture that she arranged to live among them to write an anthropological study. But she became more than an observer – living alone among them, Ursula was integrated into their village life, becoming their figurehead when in 1944 the Japanese invaded the jungles of Nagaland from Burma. The Nagas turned to her for leadership and with the support of General Slim, her Naga guides were armed and trained to patrol and repel the Japanese incursions. The Nagas’ courage and loyalty were duly recognised, and after the conflict Ursula, with Naga support, went on to run a jungle training school for the RAF. Later, with her husband, Tim Betts as Political Officer, she worked among the volatile tribes of the remote Apa Tani Valley, bordering Tibet. Following the Independence of India in 1947, Ursula returned to her highland roots, but to her death in 1988, her experiences among the Naga people shaped and directed her life.
