I am a Naga from Nagaland belonging to the Sumi tribe, which is recognized as one of the major tribes in the State but have been staying in Delhi for more than two decades and have lived outside Nagaland for most of my adult life. I am also a lawyer practicing in the Supreme Court of India. I earned my LLB degree from the Campus Law Centre, St. Stephens College, Delhi University. I am the first Naga to clear the Advocates-on-Record (AOR) examination that is conducted by the Supreme Court of India every year as a certification enabling lawyers to file in the Apex Court of the country. Currently, I represent my home state in the Supreme Court as the Standing Counsel.
