Harish,

Please do not allow your future episodes to read like: whites going into the heart of darkness to reveal the savage soul (even if that was your original intent)....just try.

`` the Naga situation is. Nationalism. Right over land. Guerilla warfare. Army repression. Fight against colonialism........``

Are`nt you statisfied with the ISI and the jehadis trying to create probems and endevouring to break India.

What kind of colonialism are you talking about.It is in Naga peoples best interests to stay with the India Union ,otherwise they will be swollowed by the neighbouring countries .

Harish always wanted to know about nagaland issue but could not get much literature but this was interesting read the way a person can know about the issue through travelogue.

Harish - once again, a travelogue that makes me want to travel. Its interesting that Dolly told you about that line because the name of Kohima first came up for me personally not in geography class but in a short collection of stories about the Second World War and the Eastern Front. I can`t remember the name of the book but it was meant for children and I remember boring several family members to death by insisting on reading it out. And its a great name isnt it? Ko-hi-ma.

I also dont wonder that Sunil carried the story of Shitoba Change with him - it sounds like the perfect mystery to solve with a little bit of everythng. Looking forward to the next chapters.
