“…Despite believing in the same God and collectively condemning the traditionalists, the Zeliangrong Christians nurtured a divisive element on ground of denominational differences. ‘[F]actionalism’, which is ‘one of the most destructive effects of proselytization’ (Rollings, 2004, p. 123) is a truth desired to be swept under the carpet of liberation ideology of the Nagas and the Zeliangrong in particular.…”

Ethnicity and ancestry are gaining significance with groups looking for exclusive features to define linguistic-based identities. Social identity or self-concept through identification with a group also leads to division of a larger ethnic group on account of continued identification with distinct linguistic groups. Individual’s self-identification with a group is influenced by an existing group’s conception about an individual’s membership in a group. The Zeliangrong groups, in their continued process of identification with their respective linguistic groups, differentiate one’s group from the other groups leading to linguistic identities against their earlier collective ethnic identity. The article examines and expands the theory of social identity in the context of the dynamic identity discourse on Zeliangrong and its constituent groups.

Aims and ScopeIn today's world, national borders seem irrelevant when it comes to international crime and terrorism. Likewise, human rights, poverty, inequality, democracy, development, trade, bioethics, hunger, war and peace are all issues of global rather than national justice. The fact that mass demonstrations are organized whenever the world's governments and politicians gather to discuss such major international issues is testimony to a widespread appeal for justice around the world.Discussions of global justice are not limited to the fields of political philosophy and political theory. In fact, research concerning global justice quite often requires an interdisciplinary approach. It involves aspects of ethics, law, human rights, international relations, sociology, economics, public health, and ecology. Springer's new series Studies in Global Justice up that interdisciplinary perspective. The series brings together outstanding monographs and anthologies that deal with both basic normative theorizing and its institutional applications. The volumes in the series discuss such aspects of global justice as the scope of social justice, the moral significance of borders, global inequality and poverty, the justification and content of human rights, the aims and methods of development, global environmental justice, global bioethics, the global institutional order and the justice of intervention and war.Volumes in this series will prove of great relevance to researchers, educators and students, as well as politicians, policy-makers and government officials.
