The Yimchunger Nagas: Local Histories and Changing Identity in Nagaland, Northeast India*
The Yimchunger Nagas: Local Histories and Changing Identity in Nagaland, Northeast India* Debojyoti Das Introduction Ethnic identity, as Stanley J. Tambiah writes, is above all a collective identity (Tambiah 1989: 335). For example, in northeastern India, we are self-proclaimed Nagas, Khasis, Garos, Mizos, Manipuris and so on. Ethnic identity is a self-conscious and articulated identity that substantialises and naturalises one or more attributes, the conventional ones being skin colour, language, and religion. These attributes are attached to collectivities as being innate to them and as having mythic historical legacy. The central components in this description of identity are ideas of inheritance, ancestry and descent, place or territory of origin, and the sharing of kinship. Any one or combination of these components may be invoked as a claim according to context and calculation of advantages. Such ethnic collectivities are believed to be bounded, self-producing and enduring through time. Although the actors themselves, whilst invoking these claims, speak as if ethnic boundaries are clear-cut and defined for all time, and think of ethnic collectivities as self-reproducing bounded groups, it is also clear that from a dynamic and processual perspective there are many precedents for changes in identity, for the incorporation and assimilation of new members, and for changing the scale and criteria of a collective identity. Ethnic labels are porous in function. The phenomenon of * I wish to acknowledge the Felix Scholarship for supporting my ethnographic and archival research in Nagaland, India. I will like to thank Omeo Kumar Das Institution of Social Change and Development, SOAS Anthropology and Sociology Department- Christopher Von Furer- Haimendorf Fieldwork Grant, Royal Anthropological Institute- Emislie Horniman Anthropology Fund and The University of London- Central Research Fund for supporting my PhD fieldwork during (2008-10).

Nagaland Hornbill 3
A P O C K E T G U I D E HORNBILL FESTIVAL www.offbeattracks.co ABOUT It was in the year 2000 that the State Government, desirous of promoting tourism, embarked upon an ambitious project to exploit the cultural assets of Nagaland through a weeklong long festival to coincide with the celebration of Nagaland Statehood Day on 1st December. Thus happened the inception of the Nagaland Hornbill Festival, so named in collective reverence to the bird enshrined in the cultural ethos of the Nagas to espouse the spirit of unity in diversity. Nagaland is a cultural mosaic of diverse multi-ethnicity sprung up by the several tribes that inhabit the State. Each community celebrates its myriad festivals revolving around the agrarian calendar that makes Nagaland by default, a land of festivals. ABOUT Eighteen years on, the festival, an intangible heritage asset, has been aptly tag lined in the changed moniker - "NAGALAND HORNBILL FESTIVAL: FESTIVAL OF FESTIVALS" to encompass through collective celebration the colour and vibrant elements of all the tribal festivities and give a glimpse of Naga life to titillate cultural sensibilities. What emerged from a local heritage event has now metamorphed to a national and international festival and has become a must visit and notable attraction in the travel itinerary of both domestic and international travellers. LOCATION Hornbill Festival is held at Naga Heritage Village, Kisama which is about 12 km from Kohima. All the tribes of Nagaland take part in this festival. The state is mostly mountainous except those areas bordering Assam valley. Mount Saramati is the highest peak with a height of 3,840 metres and its range forms a natural barrier between Nagaland and Burma.

I take this opportunity to extend my heartiest congratulations to all those, including the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), a source of inspiration behind this document, for the initiative and pains they have taken to produce this historic document. The HDR has brought out not only the socio-economic and cultural background of the State of Nagaland but also the immense potentiality of its human and natural resources to emerge out of its economic backwardness. Though the State has a history mired in long periods of conflict and violence, it has not lagged behind in terms of parameters of human development. This innate strength of the State needs to be harnessed and developed by the “will to toil, deliver and govern”.
