Brief History of Nagas

Brief account of Nagas

The Nagas were divided into 2 parts by the then British government on
the eve of Indiaì's independence in 1947, leaving the administered
areas under the control of India.
The colonial British troops first came to Nagas soil in 1832. The
Nagas resisted and prevented the British troops from proceeding
further, which resulted into intermittent warfare between Nagas &
British from 1832 to 1879. In 1880, the war concluded with gentlemen's
agreement.
The the then British government set up its administration in Nagaland and left
Nagaland in 1947. However 2/3rd of the Nagas were left untouched.
The administered areas includes present Nagaland State and Naga in-habitat areas of Arunachal, Assam and Manipur were given to India.
The unadministered/untouched areas comprising of more than 2/3rd of Nagas' land were given to Burma (Myanmar)which extends upto Chinwing river.
