Riivosielie Chakriinuo, center, the oldest surviving general in the Naga Army, smiles during celebrations marking the Nagas' Declaration of Independence in Chedema, in the northeastern Indian state of Nagaland, Sunday, Aug. 14, 2022. While Indians across the country prepared to celebrate 75 years of independence on Monday, the Naga community marked the occasion by hoisting their very own blue flag. Chakriinuo wore a medal for his service and smiled as he recalled the 1964 ceasefire, saying it brought peace to the land. "I used to serve the gun. Now I serve God," he said.
