British Colonization and Restructuring of Naga Polity

The British Occupation of Kohima was a landmark in the history of the British colonization of Naga Hills. Broadly speaking, the history of British colonization may be divide into several periods: The period of Control from without conducted by a system of expeditions; the period of control from within, merging into gradual absorption into British territory. The British colonisation of Naga territory gradually brought about certain changes in the administration of the Nagas while leaving them to administer their respective customs and traditions. This book is a study of the British Colonization and the restructuring of the Naga polity.
