Greetings to all of you in the precious name of our Lord Saviour and Jesus Christ. Naga politics and the word of God: It is said everything begins from the word of God. History of human race begins from it; Naga history begins from it. The unique identity of the Nagas is a brand stamped by the Creator, and that no power can uproot what has been planted by the Lord.
