Summary "My Experiences in Manipur and the Naga Hills" by Sir James Johnstone is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles Johnstone's experiences as a British colonial officer in India, particularly focusing on his time in Manipur and the surrounding Naga Hills. The narrative touches upon themes of culture, administration, and the interactions between British officials and local tribes during a period of significant political and social change in the region. The opening of the narrative sets the scene for Johnstone's journey to India with his wife, highlighting their initial experiences and observations as they travel through the landscapes of Assam to reach the Naga Hills. He reflects on his past, the connections he has established with local communities, and the contrasts between his earlier encounters and the current state of affairs.
