		The majority of the Naga tribes in Arunachal Pradesh and Myanmar remain loyal to their animistic faith, although militant and missionary intervention in recent years is converting them to Christianity.

		In my interaction with the Naga people, particularly those who do have not yet learnt sophistication and affectations, I have noticed their difficulties in internalising the “Naga” identity and allowing that to subsume their tribe identity.
		Hence, despite the united fight for Naga nationalism, fratricidal killings are continuing at a fiercely competitive pace and baffling all onlookers to the process.
		People have thus far been organised to raise their banner of protest against human rights violations by the Indian armed forces.

	The Hindu : Opinion / Leader Page Articles : Naga talks: the task ahead
		Returning to New Delhi on January 30 after a six-week sojourn in Nagaland for "consultations with Naga people and Naga civil society," their first publicly known visit in several decades, the NSCN leaders held three round of talks (February 3, 4, 10) as well as a brief meeting with the Prime Minister on February 9.
		In other words, without ever resiling from its determination to restore Naga sovereignty, the NSCN leaders have for the present chosen not to make that an issue and instead taken the incremental approach to resolve what may be describes as the `Naga National Question' that by definition also includes the Naga territorial imperative.
		Thus the mandate: "The unification of the Naga areas is legitimate and therefore non-negotiable." It is significant that the issue of Naga sovereignty, at present, has not merited such unqualified assertion, indeed, not even a direct mention, as that of territoriality.
