The head-hunting Naga tribes believed that a vital and creative energy resided in a human head, which when brought back to the village, granted fertility to life and agriculture. The elders in the Naga villages today are the sole repositories of this surprisingly rich tradition, and through their testimonies, this investigative compilation documents what is known about those ancient customs, which governed their former way of life. Assembled in this book is also an anthology of the tales and songs that carry the history of the Naga people, along with models of appropriate behavior expected within their community.

"A pictorial presentation of the Tangkhul Nagas--their history, tradition and modern life--and how a profound transformation took place, from primitive headhunters into ardent Christians, within a few decades since the arrival of Rev. William Pettigrew in 1896, with short descriptions suitable for the common people and younger generations. The Tangkhul Nagas are one of the major tribes of the Naga family. They occupy the mountain tracts along the Indo-Myanmar border--covering the eastern part of the state of Manipur in India and the western part of Layshi township of Sagaing division in Myanmar."--Dust jacket.

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.

History as a social science is arguably more self-reflective than associated disciplines in that family. Other social scientists seem to see little reason to look beyond the paradigm they are developing in the present times. Historians on the other hand, tend to depend on the cumulative process of the development of their craft and the fund of accumulated knowledge. Yet, while this is acknowledged in the practice of research, Historiography in itself as a subject of study has rarely found its place in the syllabi of Indian universities. Knowledge of Historiography is taken for granted when a scholar plunges into research. In an attempt to address this lacuna, the Indian Council of Historical Research (ICHR) has planned a series of volumes on Historiography comprising articles by subject specialists commissioned by the ICHR. The first volume in the series, Approaches to History: Essays in Indian Historiography brings to the readers the first fruits of that endeavour. While the essays encompass areas of research presently at the frontiers of new research, scholars will also find the bibliographies accompanying the essays of significant appeal.
