What is Article 371A in Nagaland?
The constitutional provision that says no Act of Parliament on Naga religious or social practices, Naga customary law and procedure, civil and criminal justice decided under customary law, or the ownership and transfer of land and its resources applies to Nagaland unless the state Legislative Assembly resolves that it should. It is why land in Nagaland is held under customary law rather than a central land code.
