Nagas in The Battle Of Kohima WW II

“Nagas in the Battle of Kohima” is a short video on the roles played by the Nagas in the Burma Campaign and particularly in the Battle of Kohima during the 2nd World War. Although all the Nagas were affected by the War, the video focuses on those in the frontlines, the Naga veterans, which no one has done till now. The video shows that through their valour and bravery, the Naga War frontliners brought glory not only to themselves but also to the Naga people by winning no less than 66 gallantry awards in 9 categories and turned the tide of the War in the Asian Theatre. Further, they have through their friendships forged in the fires of the Battle of Kohima opened new opportunities for young Nagas of today through the links with the Kohima Educational Trust (KET) and the Royal Commonwealth Ex Services League (RCEL). The video was made for the RCEL on the occasion of the 75th anniversary commemoration of Victory over Japan or VJ-Day. The roles played by the Naga people have been included in the RCEL message to their members across the Commonwealth of countries and this video is now on their website available for all across the world to see.
