Informations supplémentaires

The Baptist church of Longwa village, Mon District, Nagaland, India. Every Naga village today has a church. Christian missionaries, mostly Baptists, first came to north-east India in the 1830s, accepted by the British as potential pacifiers of a population organised into clans with no broad tribal identities: according to their traditions, each village worked as an independent republic. The development of a “Naga” identity began with the conversion to Christianity, with the natives persuaded by foreign promises of education, medicine and a religion condemning war. Today, more than 95% of Naga people identify as Christians, mostly Baptist.
