Foreign writers have sincerely attempted various studies of the multifaceted subject of Naga people and their territory and have succeeded in gathering enough obvious information. But they have found it well nigh impossible to treat at length any one aspect of it. This is not surprising as even today, among the Nagas themselves, no reliable information about the history of their race is available. This is so because there is a dearth of relevant records and, also, the legends, traditions, culture, history and literature are preserved orally.
