Abstract
It is without question that any long term cultural contact between two different cultures influences both of them in ways that cannot be underestimated. The question of identity in these circumstances becomes the paramount question which is not only intensive debated but also selectively propagated. In this chapter, we have focussed on such discussions that influenced the trajectory of the Naga hills post-independence in a very significant way.
