Keyi Tanela (Tiger Man) by Padma Shree T. Senka Ao is a fascinating account of a real-life phenomenon still believed and whispered about in Naga villages. The book explores the mysterious bond between certain individuals and tigers—where a person is said to possess a "tiger spirit." These individuals, known as Keyi Tanela, are spiritually connected to a specific tiger, though they never physically meet or see one another. When the tiger is harmed or killed, the connected person also suffers immensely or dies. This unseen link between man and beast reflects deep-rooted animistic beliefs and the spiritual worldview of the Ao Naga people. Through real-life stories, testimonies, and cultural insight, Senka Ao captures the fear, mystery, and reverence surrounding these spirit-bonded lives. The book serves both as a cultural document and a compelling narrative, preserving a unique Naga tradition that continues to echo in village life today.
