Nagaland Part 2

 Among other things, we learnt a little bit about the culture, food, and the earlier insurgency- now mostly limited to extortion for no good reason from businesses- in a meeting with the Minister for Education, Temjen Imna Along. He spent time in Mumbai, loves vada pao, and is very passionate about developing his people.

We were presented a shawl, after he explained its significance, that the red one is usually for men who are respected by the tribe, and other colours are for women. We were glad to be the recipients, with all that it implied. The right way to wear it is this.. 

We also visited a college in Dimapur run by two alums of CIEFL (now English and Foreign Languages University) in Hyderabad. They are a brother and sister duo.

and, we met an MLA from Nagaland, who also suggested we set up something in the state.
