- Abstract
This paper engages with the narrative of the Good Samaritan from a Naga perspective in the context of COVID‐19. It demonstrates how Naga Indigenous hospitality, as opposed to contemporary Christianized hospitality in Nagaland, has an affinity with the teaching of Jesus in the narrative. The pertinent question it raises is what the Good Samaritan hospitality would look like if articulated from an Indigenous context during a pandemic. The paper argues that through rereading the story of the Good Samaritan, the Naga churches and society in general have the potential to reclaim and engage Naga's Indigenous culture of hospitality that supersedes ethnicity in the ongoing pandemic.
