The Angamis had fought against the British with gusto and are now playing a major role in defining the future of the State.
Northeast India is home to many diverse tribes and Nagaland is no exception, which has a conglomeration of 17 unique tribes. The Angamis are one of the major tribes in Nagaland and have been listed as a scheduled tribe under the 5th schedule of the Indian constitution. Blessed with a glorious history and tradition,the Angamis now mostly inhabit the capital district of Kohima, which is divided into four areas.
Warrior Tribe
Most Naga tribes are known for their exemplary fighting skills and the Angamis too were skilled warriors. Khonoma, a scenic village comprising entirely of Angamis just 20 kms west of Kohima town, bears testimony to the much revered battle glories of this tribe. Just as you enter the village, your eyes are caught by a memorial with the name of the martyrs who had fought the British invaders.
Kejaroko Piero, a businessman and a resident of the village who was gracious enough to accompany me through the bumpy roads of his village said, ‘Our village has a long history of confrontation with the British which started after they came for a survey of the Naga Hills. Since then, they had launched ten expeditions. In 1879, a British political agent named G H Damant had led a troop of 60 soldiers to attack Khonoma. However, 35 soldiers including Damant were killed and 19 were wounded. However, the British soon brought reinforcement from Samaguti, Sylhet, Shillong and Manipur and handed us a crushing defeat. The villagers had to flee Khonoma. In 1882, a peace treaty was signed with the British and the villagers could return to the village.’

MUSINGS OF A SOLDIER: TIT-BITS
People often ask me about my life out of uniform. Honestly, I have had no problems. Not so far. Instead, I find it quite refreshing. No routine, no parades, no briefing, no impending operations. Having donned the uniform since the age of thirteen until I hung up my boots last year, could I ever visualize life out of uniform? Not really. But, as I said, the transition has been quite smoothâno hang-overs, no regrets. People have been very positive in their interactions. Government departments have been responsive whenever I have approached for assistance.The genuine respect for the uniform is quite evident and it makes my heart swell with pride. Arunachal, to that extent, is the most nationalistic state in the country, I daresay. It has been kind of a revelation for me to experience the freedom of being a common man in an environment of positivity!
