Northeast India has witnessed several nationality movements during
the 20th century. The oldest and one of the most formidable has
been that of the Nagas - inhabiting the hill tracts between the
Brahmaputra river in India and the Chindwin river in Burma (now
Myanmar). Rallying behind the slogan, 'Nagaland for Christ', this
movement has been the site of an ambiguous relation between a
particular understanding of Christianity and nation-making. This
book, based on meticulous archival research, traces the making of
this relation and offers fresh perspectives on the workings of
religion in the formation of political and cultural identities
among the Nagas. It tracks the transmutations of Protestantism from
the United States to the hill tracts of Northeast India, and its
impact on the form and content of the nation that was imagined and
longed for by the Nagas. The volume also examines the role of
missionaries, local church leaders, and colonial and post-colonial
states in facilitating this process. Lucidly written and rigorous
in its analyses, this book will be of interest to scholars and
researchers of South Asian history, religion, political science,
sociology and social anthropology, and particularly those concerned
with Northeast India.
