The complex structure of Northeast India presents an idea of Nationalism marked with a tense and contested ground of political claims and counter-claims. This has resulted to the volatile and often conflicted socio-political matrix of the region. Easterine Kire’s selected novels namely, A Terrible Matriarchy and A Respectable Woman narrates the turbulent years of bloodshed and chaos that mark the history of the Nagas from the early 1950s. This paper attempts to read Kire’s novels as poignant narratives about the collective trauma of the Naga people caught in the column of nationalistic uprising and whose pain has far gone unmentioned and unacknowledged. The paper argues that in times of political crisis and social disruptions, it is the women who become the worst victims and endure displacement, violence and rape. Kire also depicts how women have suffered physical and psychological traumas yet do not stop depicting women as mere victims. The paper, thus, engages itself in examining victimhood, the courage and resilience of Naga women by which they project female will and resistance in their own ways, when the very humanity of the Nagas is assaulted and violated.
