| Summary/Abstract |
This paper explores the role and impact of Christianity on the identity of the ‘self’ and the ‘other’ of the Naga converts. Christianity brings with it its own sets of cultures which are assimilated, appropriated or rejected by the converts. When an individual converts to Christianity, he/she assumes a new Christian identity whereof a new perception of ‘us’ and ‘them’ emerges. In the case of the Naga Hills, to be a ‘true’ convert, an individual was required to abandon the markers of his/her previous ‘heathen’ self. This was made into a requirement in order to receive baptism. This in turn involves a rejection of the previous lifestyle and the assumption of a new socio-cultural Christian identity. On the other hand, a non-convert looked upon conversion to Christianity not only as a threat to his/her self-identity but in some cases also to his/her Naga identity. This paper, therefore, seeks to understand the myriad impact of conversion on the individual convert, the reaction and responses of converts to their new Christian identity, their community at large and particularly to the non-converts.

| Summary/Abstract |
This paper looks at the history of state-making in an entangled imperial frontier. The northeastern frontier of British India was a mosaic of princely states, administered and un-administered territories. The presence of the colonial state in the region was contentious, marked by violence on one hand and philanthropy on the other. The Japanese invasion of the region during World War Two had several unintended ramifications. Wartime and post-war developments produced institutions and social experiences which facilitated the process of state-making in the region. Relief and Rehabilitation project of the colonial state, and later distribution of monetary compensation was not merely governed by moral or legal obligations but was part of a larger project of imperialist reconquest in Asia after the surrender of the Japanese with Manipur and Naga Hills as the base. This project also provided the postcolonial Indian state with institutions to continue the process of state-making of its own.
