This book attempts to examine the different aspects of the Naga political movement—ethno-cultural, political, and historical. Going deep into the historical background of the Nagas, their political heritage and their relations with the Ahoms and the British, it traces the factors responsible for the Naga political movements such as the rise of nationalism, the fear psychosis, social alienation, economic exploitation and religious consciousness.

It further describes the dynamics of Naga political movement, the role of Naga National Council, the armed conflict, and the different agreements reached between the Nagas and the government. It also deals with the peace process and ceasefire, the role of Peace Mission Committee and the different rounds of talks between the Federal Government of Nagaland and the Government of India.
