  • An overiew of the state capital Kohima, Nagaland, India. Although originally an Angami Naga Homeland, Kohima is now home for all the Nagas because of its administrative status. Nagaland, among  the smallest and most isolated of India's northeast states, is a place of paradoxes - simultaneously Christian and pagan, traditional and cutting edge, dependent on largesse from New Delhi and yet craving for independence. ..Kohima hosts the annual Hornbill Festival, where the state's 16 tribes show off their traditional ceremonial dress, dances and cuisine for both gawking tourists and locals, some of whom are far more attuned to Western fashions than the Western visitors. The festival also features a national rock contest - a battle of the bands that attracts aspiring young musicians from throughout India. The contest has been promoted by the state government as a way to connect young Nagas with the rest of India and build a viable music industry. By providing fresh opportunities for talented Nagas, the state hopes to lessen the attraction of underground insurgent groups. These groups have waged war against the Indian government for more than 60 years - making it perhaps Asia's longest running insurgency. But lately the two main rebel factions - each of which has a ceasefire with the Indian government - have engaged in fraticidal killings and extortion, resulting in many deaths and scaring off desperately-needed outside investment.

  • Indian men practice the three thousand year old sport known as 'Kushti', a form of wrestling, in its traditional form at the fight club, Sri Hanuman Akhara in Delhi, on August 25th 2008. Kushti has a long tradition. It used to be supported by local maharajas and is financed by the government. The wrestlers continue the rigorous schedule of waking up at 4:30am six times a week and practicing more than 6 hours every day. They live together in one small room above the arena and their only belongings are a blanket, a few items of clothes and some books about the art of Kushti. They have been compared to holy men because of their celibacy and dedication and they practice exercises like standing on one's head for lengths of time to expel 'filthy' thoughts..Photograph: Sanjit Das
