Memory and identity: narrations on Aemo-Bujuur.

The paper explores the identity dynamics of a lesser known community by the name Bujuur Naga, with special reference to the Aemo lineage and identity. It explores the remnants of the Aemo heritage including their language, and further brings to picture the narrations from within which are necessary for understanding the complexities and insecurities associated with the identity. It also touches themes of territorial contestations between India and Myanmar that not only politically divides the socially bonded people, but it also leads to diminishing interaction between the separated Aemo-Bujuur families. The paper takes a narrative discourse with subjective approach, relying on primary information from field interactions, with the objective to locate the path of the paradigm identity.
