Nothing could have illustrated the change in Nagaland better than the scene when Chingwang took the salute of a guard of honour drawn up in front of the Additional Deputy Commissioner's residence. The slim and graceful figure of the youthful Naga minister walking past the line of stalwart Punjabi soldiers towering above him, seemed symbolic of a development which was integrating the Nagas as fully privileged citizens into the body politic of the Republic of India. |
