    <h1 align=center>NAGALAND</h1>
    <P>Nagaland is a landlocked state in the north-eastern region of India. It is
    bordered by the Indian states of Arunachal Pradesh to the north, Assam to the west,
    Manipur to the south, and the Sagaing Region of Myanmar (Burma) to the east. Its
    capital city is Kohima and its largest city is the twin Chümoukedima–Dimapur. The
    state has an area of 16,579 square kilometres (6,401 sq mi) with a population of
    1,980,602 as per the 2011 Census of India, making it one of the smallest states of
    India.</P>

    Nagaland consists of 16 Administrative Districts, inhabited by 17 major tribes


    along with other sub-tribes. Each tribe is distinct in character from the other in
    terms of customs, language and dress. It is a land of folklore passed down the
    generations through word of mouth. The earliest recorded history of the tribes of
    present day Nagaland dates back to the 13th century.

    <P>In the 19th century, the British India forces began expanding their influence in
    Northeast India, including the Naga Hills. After India's independence in 1947, the
    question of the Naga Hills' political status emerged. Nagaland was a district in
    the State of Assam until 1957, known to others as “The Naga Hills”. The Naga
    National Council, led by Zapu Phizo, demanded an independent Naga state and
    launched an armed insurgency. The Indian Government, however, maintained that
    Nagaland was an integral part of the Indian Union. The conflict between the Naga
    National Council and the Indian Government resulted in a protracted insurgency. The
    State of Nagaland was formally inaugurated on 1 December 1963, as the 16th State of
    the Indian Union, and a democratically elected government took office in 1964.</P>

    <h3> <A NAME="A1">HISTORY </A1>OF NAGALAND </h3>
    <p>The ancient history of the Nagas is unclear. Ethnic groups migrated at different
    times, each settling in the northeastern part of present India and establishing
    their respective sovereign mountain terrains and village states. There are no
    records of whether they came from the northern Mongolian region, southeast Asia, or
    southwest China, except that their origins are from the east of India, and
    historical records show the present-day Naga people settled before the arrival of
    the Ahoms in 1228 CE.</p>

    <p>In 1869, Captain Butler was appointed to lead and consolidate the British
    presence in the Nagaland Hills. In 1878, the headquarters were transferred to
    Kohima — creating a city that remains an important center of administration,
    commerce, and culture for Nagaland.</p>

    <p>On 4 October 1879, British political agent G. H. Damant went to Khonoma with
    troops, where he was shot dead with 35 of his team. Kohima was subsequently
    attacked and the stockade looted. This violence led to a determined effort by the
    British Raj to return and respond. The subsequent defeat of Khonoma marked the end
    of serious and persistent ultimatums in the Naga Hills.</p>

    <p>Between 1880 and 1922, the British administration consolidated their position
    over a large area of the Naga Hills and integrated it into its Assam operations.
    The British administration enforced the rupee as the currency for economic activity
    and a system of structured ethnic government that was very different from historic
    social governance practices.</p>

    <p>In parallel, since the mid-19th century, Christian missionaries from the United
    States and Europe, stationed in India, reached into Nagaland and neighbouring
    states, converting Nagaland's Naga ethnic groups from animism to Christianity.</p>

    <h3><A NAME="#rish"> GEOGRAPHY </A>OF NAGALAND</h3>
    <P>A significant geographical aspect of Assam is that it contains three of six
    physiographic divisions of India – The Northern Himalayas (Eastern Hills), The
    Northern Plains (Brahmaputra plain) and Deccan Plateau (Karbi Anglong). As the
    Brahmaputra flows in Assam the climate here is cold and there is rainfall most of
    the month. Geomorphic studies conclude that the Brahmaputra, the life-line of
    Assam, is an antecedent river older than the Himalayas, which has entrenched itself
    since they started rising. The river with steep gorges and rapids in Arunachal
    Pradesh entering Assam, becomes a braided river and with tributaries, creates a
    flood plain (Brahmaputra Valley: 50–60 mi/80–100 km wide, 600 mi/1000 km long). The
    hills of Karbi Anglong, North Cachar and those in and close to Guwahati (also
    Khasi-Garo Hills) now eroded and dissected are originally parts of the South Indian
    Plateau system. In the south, the Barak originating in the Barail Range (Assam-
    Nagaland border) flows through the Cachar district with a 25–30 miles (40–50 km)
    wide valley and enters Bangladesh with the name Surma River.</P>

    <P>Urban centres include Guwahati, one of the 100 fastest growing cities in the
    world.Guwahati is also referred to as the "Gateway to the North-East India".
    Silchar, (in the Barak valley) is the second most populous city in Assam and an
    important centre of business. Other large cities include Dibrugarh, an oil and
    natural gas industry centre,</P>
