Hathuka Sumi is a writer and photographer based in Dimapur, Nagaland, whose work bridges the ordinary and the mythical. Writing primarily in the realms of magical realism and young adult fiction, he explores themes of identity, indigenous voices, and the quiet intersections between everyday life and folklore. His storytelling is deeply rooted in the cultural textures of Northeast India, bringing forward narratives that are both intimate and expansive. His debut children’s book Giants received the Atta Galatta BLF Book Award 2025 for Children’s Fiction, marking him as a compelling new voice in contemporary Indian literature. Through both lens and language, Sumi captures stories that are at once grounded and imaginative—offering readers a glimpse into worlds where memory, myth, and reality coexist.
