Nagaland inhabited by the Naga tribes, captured international attention during world war 2, because it was here that the Japanese advance was halted by British and Indian troops. Nagas were spirited warriors and by the end of the 19th century the British reached peace with Nagas and found them useful as allies in war against the Japanese. After India's independence, Nagaland became a state in 31 December 1963.
