Appendix A. The effect on the tribes of the Naga Hills district of Contacts with civilization, by J.P. Mills, I.C.S |
| text: |
Nagas who have taken whole-heartedly to foreign customs often build houses resembling the worst type of "shack". A Naga house as all fittingly built houses should, seems to have grown out the landscape. The corrugated iron roofs of the "foreign" houses are blots upon it. They are expensive and stuffy. The fashion has been encouraged, I fear, by the Baptist chapels, which as artistic productions are execrable, and, widely spread as they are, tend to kill the Nagas' unconscious sense of architectural fitness. |
