In this book titled "THE NATIVES" an attempt is made to write in brief
about the land and the people especially of Guitekual probing in all its
aspects. It is a sequel to a book 'Paite Tanchin' written by me and
published by N. Zatawn in 1992. Writing is a dynamic and an on going
process. We have to keep on updating as the old gives way to the new.
The result of the exercise is this book.
It goes without saying that in such an endeavour there would be
limitations in the contents and substances. I seek the indulgence of the
esteemed readers in this regard.Suggestions for improvements are
always welcome. The valuable propositions will be incorporated in the
subsequent editions.
I am grateful to my son Pumthianlal Guite who helped me in the
English translation, to Mr M. Nguldoukhup for proof reading and to
Mr N. Ngulzachin for valuable advice in the preparation of the book
