Christianity in Northeast India A Cultural History of Nagaland from 1947

Christianity in Northeast India A Cultural History of Nagaland from 1947

This book examines the distinctive formation of Christianity in Nagaland Northeast India since 1947. It argues that an understanding of the history of Christianity in the region can be found in its cultural milieu and the changing political social and religious environment. In Nagaland almost 90 per cent of the population are Christians. This book shows that segmentation as a cultural characteristic of Naga society inspired both unity and divisiveness in the Naga churches which subsequently shaped the beliefs and practices of the churches in the region. Using the methodology of cultural history the author examines ecclesiastical events and suggests that the history of Christianity should be examined in the light of its interaction with its cultural context rather than as an isolated phenomenon. The book demonstrates that the ethnic status which the Christian faith assumed the extent of its identification with the local culture and the scope of the mission of the Naga churches as key stakeholders in society offers a new angle on the history of Christianity in India. This book will be of interest to scholars and researchers of South Asian history particularly those concerned with Northeast India and Christian history historiography cultural history history of Christianity in India and faith–culture interface religious studies history and South Asian Studies. | Christianity in Northeast India A Cultural History of Nagaland from 1947

Insurgency in India's Northeast Identity Formation Postcolonial Nation/State-Building and Secessionist Resistance

Insurgency in India's Northeast Identity Formation Postcolonial Nation/State-Building and Secessionist Resistance

Insurgency in India’s Northeast provides a systematic analysis of every major secessionist group and insurgency in the region within a unified and original explanatory framework focusing primarily on the postcolonial period. This book presents a parsimonious analytic narrative involving a rich sequential account of the historical evolution of Mizo Naga Meitei and ethnic Assamese identities from precolonial to colonial to postcolonial times. Avoiding essentialist or primordialist arguments the chapters in the book demonstrate how ethnic/(sub)national identities are dynamic and malleable phenomenon not immutable natural givens. In particular it argues that the postcolonial Indian state has attempted to integrate these ethnic/sub-state national groups into the Indian Union through a combination of democratic accommodation/consociationalism and hegemonic/violent control strategically designed to encapsulate their evolving (sub) national identities into the overarching state-sponsored Indian nationality. Through this book readers will gain a rich understanding of the dynamics of ethnicity/ nationality and the nation/state-building process in postcolonial India. It will be of interest to researchers in the fields of Asian studies ethnicity nationalism separatism security studies border studies and international relations. | Insurgency in India's Northeast Identity Formation Postcolonial Nation/State-Building and Secessionist Resistance
