It covers a wide range of research areas in varied fields. It is indeed a great achievement for the DGC to publish Volume I of its 4th issue. The publication of this journal started with humble beginning without the involvement of referees. Today, it is published after all the papers have been thoroughly reviewed by referees from three reputed Universities. It has also been edited and reviewed by the editorial committee of the college to its maximum standard for publication. We take this opportunity to thank all the contributors of the papers who have done extensive research in various fields. We also express our deepest gratitude to the referees for sparing their time to make this journal relevant to the present times in its quality and approach. We would be failing in our duties if we don’t thank our Principal, the IQAC and faculty of Dimapur Government College for making this journal a reality through their contributions and assistance. The present journal includes research papers from various disciplines. The first paper on Gandhiji’s critique of modern civilization is an interesting paper for its analytical description, which is thought provoking. Another paper presents the event of the first Indo-Naga battle that took place in Hoshepu village in Zunheboto district of Nagaland. The paper on the status of the Konyak-Phom Anghs highlights a descriptive analysis of the Anghs and their administrative power and status. In its philosophical inquiry, “Power Relations in Monalisa Changkija’s Poetry” presents a critical analysis of power as a tool to control people both through theory and practice. vi There are two papers from the discipline of Economics that focus on economic growth in Nagaland and on the preferences of housing system among the tenants in Dimapur town. In a well written paper, the recent policies of the central government concern the Disabilities Act, 2016, which ensures rights to persons with disabilities has been studied with reference to its implementation in Nagaland. Community participation in implementing various programmes of the government has been the focus of the government in recent times. A well researched paper on health sector where the community participates in running community health centres presents a success story of the system. The use of technology as a booster in the teaching-learning process is an important innovation in the modern era. A paper focuses on various technological aids In teaching-learning process will enlighten the readers. The historical account of traditional Sumi religion and practices, and its influence on Christianity presents a critical overview of the traditional practices and their influence on Christianity. In another descriptive paper “Folklore of the Rengma Nagas”, presents a historical analysis of the folk tales and folklores of its tribe and their similarities with other Naga tribes. The journal concludes with a case study on Library quality in accredited colleges, which highlights the problems and issues related to libraries in Dimapur, Nagaland. vii GOVERNMENT OF NAGALAND PRINCIPAL Dimapur Government College Dimapur - 797112 : Nagaland Foreword I am delighted to lend a few words to this fourth edition of the annual Dimapur Government College Journal. Having an interdisciplinary outlook, the Journal has opened its doors to research from various fields of learning. The response from contributors has been heartening. The current issue of the Journal contains erudite discourses on history and religion, studies on Naga society in terms of community participation in the health sector and sensitization and implementation of the Act for people with disabilities. The landscape of the journal is dotted with papers from the fields of Economics, Literature and Philosophy, adding to its academic value. With the surge of technological advancement, teaching methods have also had to undergo significant upgrades. The paper on the use of technology to aid the teaching and learning process highlights the merits of such practices. Moving away from the classroom scenario, the study on libraries of NAAC accredited colleges in Nagaland gives us a bird’s eye view of the functioning of libraries in Nagaland. All in all, it would be safe to venture the opinion that the Journal’s multi-pronged approach would appeal to a large audience of readers. In his essay titled “Of Studies,” Francis Bacon says, “some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested….” The DGC Journal falls legitimately under the third category as it needs to be read with diligence and concentration. I ardently wish that readers would find pleasure even as they go through these scholastic papers. viii The members of the editorial committee have done a commendable job of bringing out this Journal. I congratulate them on their success. Much credit is due to the external experts who have refereed this journal; their input has proved invaluable, for which I am ever grateful. Finally, I express my heartfelt gratitude to the Internal Quality Assurance Cell for the help rendered towards this publication. May the quest for learning continue!

Jamedi Longkumer Abstract Even though it is valid to hold that Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi’s opposition to modern (western) civilization was greatly determined by the historical context of Indian freedom struggle from the British imperialistic rule, it cannot be denied that in his critique Gandhi was able to transcend the immediate compulsions and penetrate
