Mmhonlumo Kikon speaking at the special talk.

NU Kohima Campus: Centre for Naga Tribal Language Studies (CNTLS) and the department of English, Nagaland University (NU) Kohima Campus, organised a special talk by Mmhonlumo Kikon, author of “His Majesty’s Headhunters”, a book of narrative non-fiction that highlights the history of Naga hills and in particular, the battle of Kohima, Wednesday.


During the talk, Kikon discussed pertinent points about the book, and stated that his imperative to write the book was not to recall but “retell” and evoke history, and situate the present in the context of the past. By drawing on the history of neighbouring states such as Manipur, Kikon brought light to the relationship that Kohima historically shared, in particular with Gambhir Singh and the role he played in the capture of Kohima in the 19th century.


Kikon also spoke about how the Nagas challenged the mighty British, with just their weapons of sword and dao. By drawing on the historical relevance of places, Kikon also threw light on the Japanese incursions into present day Kohima and spoke about the similarity between A. Z. Phizo and Subhash Chandra Bose, in their anti-colonialism.


Head of department, department of English, Professor N. Das, stated that such a book was important for all scholars delving into Naga culture as it provides a good and comprehensive view of Naga history from an insider’s point of view.


The discussion was chaired by CNTLS assistant professor, Dr Yanbeni Yanthan, who opined that, given that the book was centered around the battle of Kohima, it gains more significance to have such a deliberation on the book in the town that carries its legacy.
