Why are Indians so preoccupied with what Nagas eat, whether it is dogs, bats or falcons?
Debates about Naga food overlook the perspective that situates it in relation to other aspects of their cultural and political life. Feb 22, 2021 · 11:30 am A woman prepares her stall with containers of fresh water insects and frogs for sale at a food market in Dimapur, Nagaland. | Caisii Mao/AFP
All of humanity emerged from a rock on my family’s rice field. This is what I was taught. The field, though small, boasts a perennial spring which comes out from below the rock that is the source of all of humanity, keeping the field permanently flooded and amenable for growing rice. The first time I descended down the stone terraces from the village to the field, my aunties and uncles showed me where to place my hands on the rock to feel the polished grooves where, they say, the first people stepped and climbed up into the world, in what is now our small rice field.

KARAIKAL: Unseasonal rains this year brought much pain to farmers, wreaking havoc on crops. However, they have brought about a welcome increase in arrival of birds at Kodiyakarai.
After the conclusion of the two-day annual bird census at Point Calimere Wildlife and Birds Sanctuary in Kodiyakarai on Thursday, experts said the recorded number of birds this year was nine times the count last year. Around 56,800 birds in 118 species were recorded this year compared to 6,243 birds in 91 species in 2020. The main reason for this huge jump is the availability of water in and around the sanctuary due to the extended monsoon. Soil fertility and nutrition have increased over the past couple of years. The pH, temperature and salinity have become favourable for attracting birds. Water birds wander in constant search for waterbodies to locate prey, said assistant professor J Pandiyan, a wildlife biologist from AVC Autonomous College in Mayiladuthurai.
