British social anthropology, American mode of multiculturalism and Indic civilisation main sources of inspiration. My Monograph ‘Kinship, Politics and Law In Naga Society’, 1993, which is avidly reviewed By F.K.Lehamn in Anthropos, applies modern structural theory, for the first time, in the study of kinship and political system of a Naga Tribe.  It elucidates the analytic relationship between descent and territory, family and genealogy, corporateness and jural rights and duties, siblingship and cognatic relationship, and the headmanship and political ideology amongst the Zounuo-Key-honuo Naga people, in the context of segmentary and interlocking descent groups.
