The state of
Nagaland, covering an area of 16,488 sq. km.
is encircled by Assam in the north and west,
by Burma and Arunachal Pradesh in the east,
and Manipur in the South. The state is
predominantly dominated by Naga communities
and hence, it forms a single cultural region
generally definable by common cultural and
linguistic traditions. This state was carved
out of the territories that were earlier
known as Naga Hills - Tuesnsang Area(NHTA),
through the State of Nagaland Act, 1962. It
was inaugurated on 1st December, 1963 by the
then President of India, Dr S.
Radhakrishnan. |
