Thuingaleng Muivah is the biggest face and one of the tallest leaders of the Naga movement in Northeast India. It is India’s oldest running insurgency movement. Recently, Muivah, who has spent a large part of the last few decades underground and in exile, was allowed to come back to his village in northeast India’s Manipur state. He was welcomed like a hero.
