Summary: "THE RAGING MITHUN is a collection of essay on the current state of Naga nationalism and contemporary Naga culture and Christianity - all too familiar staples of Naga public discourse. But what makes this collection special and a must-read for anyone interested in these subjects is the author, Abraham Lotha. By all accounts, he is one of the two or three most significant and engaging commentators to have emerged on the Naga scene in the last decade. there are reason for his prominence. He writes with consummate knowledge of his material; He speaks truth to power with conviction and integrity; and he writes with clarity and authenticity of a voice in conversation with his people. it would be easy to dismiss him, as some will,as a lone voice crying in the wilderness of the contemporary Naga political landscape. But that would be irresponsible. another approach would be to read these essays and respond appropriately. It is the Naga people who must decide how to respond, what to do."
