Who are Nagas and how they live in their day to day life is beautifully summed up in the following words by an unknown Naga-”Truly, we are a peculiar people. We are all equals. Men and women have an equal status. We have no caste divisions... We believe in that form of democratic government which permits the rule not of the majority but of people as a whole. We have no land tax, no wine tax, water tax, Forests, and woodlands belong to the people for their exploi­tation without paying taxes...We have no beggars ...And, wonder of wonder, we have no jails. We do not 'arrest' or 'imprison' anybody ••• We fear nobody, individually or collectively. We are a healthy people and fear corrupts the health of men ... We talk freely, live freely and often fight freely too. We have no inhibitions of any kind wild ? Yes...But free. There is order in this chaos, law in this freedom. If I were to choose a country, it would be my Nagaland, my fair Nagaland-again and again.”
