More manpower is required. More instruction booklets and schedules need to be printed. More expenditure have to be incurred. The 1991 Census Operations can be said and will be remembered as the biggest administrative exercise of the twentieth century. Though a central subject, census taking itself is being done by the State Government through their District Administration. Co-operation of the State Government in this regard has been enthusiastic and excellent. The data presented in this volume are the result of that fine co-operation. The volume contains the A-Series tables A-l to A-5. Tables A- t to A-4 are such followed by a few statements and a few appendices. The 1991 Census in Nagaland was conducted under the able guidance of Shri S.R. Luhadia, Ex-Director of Census Operations, Nagaland. I would be failing in my duty if I do no record my sense of appreciation of the excellent job he had done. On his behalf I very sincerely express my deep sense of gratitude to the Government of Nagaland for the splendid work they had done during the 1991 Census through their District and Circle Administrations. I am thankful to them all. I am also thankful to Shri A.R. Nandil, Ex-Registrar General and Census Commissioner, India under whose stewardship plan for this volume was prepared and the subsequent guidance and encouragement rendered to get this volume through. I am also grateful to Dr. M. Vijayanunni, Registrar General and Census Commissioner, India and Shri S.P.

  • A Study of a Konyak Naga Village in Sivasagar District of Assam, India
    International Research Journal of Social Sciences______________________________________ ISSN 2319–3565 Vol. 4(11), 24-29, November (2015) Int. Res. J. Social Sci. A Study of A Konyak Naga Village in Sivasagar District of Assam, India Partha Protim Dutta1 and Ujjal Protim Dutta2 1Tezpur University, Assam, INDIA 2 Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, National Institute of Technology, Durgapur, INDIA Available online at: www.isca.in Received 23rd October 2015, revised 31st October 2015, accepted 10th November 2015 Abstract Assam is a cradle of different ethnic groups. Along with the indigenous tribes and communities of Assam, a good count of migrated communities is contributing to the grandeur of greater Assamese ethnicity since time immemorial. Besides, the Assam valley being surrounded by hills, sections of many tribal groups from the hills made foothill regions and beyond their habitats from ancient times. Some of these groups were also settled by the kingdoms of the valley. One example of such settlement is that of a small group of Konyak Naga community in Sivasagar district of Assam. Even if historical evidences are not enough to confirm the accurate root or causes of their migration to Assam, their existence and endeavour to assimilate with the Assamese community is a confirmed phenomenon. They have been living in this soil and have become an inalienable part of Assam with the time. This study tries to understand the historical background of the village formation and explore the assimilation process of the village with the larger Assamese society. Keywords: Konyak Naga, Tribes, community, Assimilation. Introduction village. This is true of unique linguistic dialectal, racial and religious diversities.

Received 12 December 2018 Accepted 7 March 2019 It is a narrow belt of thrust slices in southeastern boundary of the Assam valley. The Naga Schuppen Belt, consisting of eight or more imbricated thrusts, occurs *For correspondence: Zaman between the Naga and Disang thrusts. This present study encompasses an area of [email protected] 4,720 sq km along the Assam-Nagaland border. The Dikhow River, which is a Contact us: seventh order basin, originates from Naga Hills flowing through a total length of [email protected] 240 km in the Assam valley and reaches the Brahmaputra. In this study, the morphotectonic analysis of the Dikhow River was carried out to understand the role of active tectonics of the Naga Hills in Nazira-Naginimora areas of Assam and Nagaland respectively. The parameters such as asymmetric factor (AF), transverse topographic symmetric factor (T), and stream length gradient index (SL) were computed. Absolute AF values shows asymmetric to highly asymmetrical shape of the basins (range III-IV) which is also supported by T values. Anomalous SL values were obtained wherein major lineament and tectonic features are present. This indicates that the study area is tectonically active. Further, in the Assam valley it has been observed in the bank stratigraphy of Dikhow River that the Quaternary sediments are deformed.
