Constructing the Divine: Religion and World View of a Naga Tribe in North-East India

This book chronicles the transition of the Sumi tribe in the North-East Indian state of Nagaland from the period of colonial contact up to the present-day context. A critical understanding of Sumi society and culture is at the heart of the narrative, and the analysis of Sumi religion and world view remains the main thrust of this book. It is argued that the Sumi are faced with new religious issues which has brought about not only schismatic divisions but also rendering ebullience to religious life, and that a new discourse has emerged in Sumi religion.
