Book Description
"Visier Meyasetsu Sany�, his family and fellow villagers of Khonoma, fled for their lives to the jungles of Nagaland in 1956. He and his family survived privations and starvation for over two years, though many others did not. Visier emerged from the jungle aged eight and into a turbulent world altered by Western influence, civil war and colonial oppression. He found refuge from war in Australia, where during two decades he faced the loss of home and tradition, and found healing and a second home. This powerful story tracks Visier's fascinating journey from indigenous religion to Christianity, from village school to a professorship, and from small town life to appearances before the United Nations. His kaleidoscopic sixty-year odyssey to find peace, tranquillity, and forgiveness for others, is vividly told against the rich tapestry of the Naga quest to be free."

Book Description
Odyssey is a reflective introspection and an honest endeavour to introduce the readers to the simple and beautiful life of the Northeast and its people who cheerfully struggle to defeat hardships and adapt to make life meaningful and happy by remaining as true sentinels of humanity and nature. While there is an incessant rush of people to get settled in or near big cities to find easier lives, almost all tribal communities of remote border villages still stick to their native soil and withstand hardship and deprivation. The attachment to their village on the national border, generation after generation, gives our border a special significance. It is an immense blessing to be enlightened by experiencing the life in the faraway villages of Nagaland and Manipur from very near for quite a long time. In one way, this helps one shun misconceptions about people who continue to stay away from the so-called mainland. I hope that when people realise how beautiful the Northeast is, they will make efforts to visit. The state will then be motivated to reach the remote areas to ensure the betterment of the people there. The sense of courtesy in people, their agility, the landscape, hills, rivers, streams, greenery and everything else are simply mesmerising and inspiring. The environment itself in the Northeast embraces all with its indescribable charm.

Book Description
Through an ethnohistorical study of the Nagas—a congeries of tribes inhabiting the Indo-Myanmar frontier—this book explores an unusually interesting region of India that is all too often seen as peripheral. G. Kanato Chophy provides a distinct vantage point for understanding the Nagas in relation to colonialism, missionary encounters, identity politics, and cultural change, all seamlessly woven around American Baptist mission history in this region. The book also analyses India's cacophonous postindependence democracy in order to delineate multifaith issues, multiculturalism, and ethnicity-based political movements. Within the West, episodic memories of the "Great Awakening," a significant landmark in the history of Protestantism, have faded into archival records. But among the Nagas of the Indo-Myanmar highlands, Baptist Christianity persists as the dominant religion, influencing the daily lives of nearly three million people. Focusing variously on evangelical faith, missionary zeal, ethnic identities, political struggle, and complex culture wars, Christianity and Politics in Tribal India is an original and major study of how Protestant missions changed the history and destiny of a tribal community in one of the unlikeliest regions of South Asia.
