Acts Of Faith

It’s ironic that most Indians know so little about nagaland, and that like many of the other north-eastern states it has to struggle to make its presence felt in the rest of the country. Ironic because it was here, in kohima, that Japanese forces to push their way in to India during world war ll, until they driven out after a bloody battle with Indian and allied troops. Over 18,000 allied soldiers, many of them Indian died in the battle, India owes much to the valour of nagaland’s people. Picturesque towns nestle amid the mountains; terraced fields cut into the hillside make a stunning picture, and for the traveler with a penchant for action, the treks are unforgettable. And then, of course, there are the people. Locals may not know the word hospitality, but they certainly know what it means. You are welcomed in to their homes with a smile and a glass of a local brew, and within hours, strangers become friend for life.
