'Nagaland for Christ' and 'Jesus Saves' are familiar slogans
prominently displayed on public transport and celebratory banners
in Nagaland, north-east India. They express an idealization of
Christian homogeneity that belies the underlying tensions and
negotiations between Christian and non-Christian Naga. This
religious division is intertwined with that of healing beliefs and
practices, both animistic and biomedical. This study focuses on the
particular experiences of the Angami Naga, one of the many Naga
peoples. Like other Naga, they are citizens of the state of India
but extend ethnolinguistically into Tibeto-Burman south-east Asia.
This ambiguity and how it affects their Christianity, global
involvement, indigenous cultural assertiveness and nationalist
struggle is explored. Not simply describing continuity through
change, this study reveals the alternating Christian and
non-Christian streams of discourse, one masking the other but at
different times and in different guises.
