Let me read some of the statements made by the Assam Government regarding the hill areas : “The tribes are of Mongoloid stock found nowhere else in India and differing from most Indians than that the latter do from Europeans Except for a few non-tribal shopkeepers and officials and the population in any area is homogeneous. Thus a traveller in the Naga Hills would see no one but Nagas, in the Lushai Hills no one but Lushais and so on.”
