On March 5 Incident


The incident of March 5, 2015, in Dimapur was a very unfortunate incident. There is no doubt that the act was horrific, inhuman and not at all justified. However, the outside world should know that this act was not instigated, perpetrated nor spearheaded by any organizations or unions. It was purely the act of a mob and it cannot be contained even by law enforcing agencies anywhere in the world when they are outnumbered and this is exactly what happened at Central Jail in Dimapur. The police personnel was outnumbered and except for blank firing, they could do nothing as most of the protestors were students in uniform. The prime factor for the gathering of such a mammoth crowd was primarily social networking sites where most people frustrated with the way judiciary functions (where the accused are tried and eventually granted bail) flocked to the streets to show solidarity to the victim in the form of a rally organized by various groups. The rally was peacefully held but then it escalated into what was very unfortunate whereby the irate mob stormed the jail and the accused was dragged out and lynched thereafter.

It should also be known that the act was not intended to incite communal disharmony. The act was not against any particular religion or community but it was against a rapist. The Muslim Council Dimapur has also made a press release stating that the communal harmony has not been disturbed and that calm should be maintained in other parts as well.

With regard to the CCTV footage that was being circulated in many sites, let’s not jump to conclusions by seeing a video which has not been proven whether it is authentic or not. The identity of the girl is not shown; the date and time are not even shown in the footage. Let us be sensible and try to reason without jumping to conclusions.

Forensic reports are awaited; investigations are on, so till the results are out and the picture is crystal clear, it would be best on our part to refrain ourselves from posting any kind of posts related to this issue that might flare up this issue even more so that the lives of our people living in other parts of the country are not endangered.

THE TWIN EVIL

W hen the USSR disintegrated in 1991 marking the end of the feud of two antagonistic blocs- the US and the USSR. There emerged two schools of thought. Francis Fukuyama, an American Political Scientist advanced his theory that there is literally no threat to the United States of America post-cold war through his publication ‘The End of History and the Last Man’  which was an expansion of his earlier publication ‘The End of History?’. Starting from the end of the Cold war till the Twin Tower attack; this era is often considered as the ‘Era of Uncertainty’ for the US Foreign Policy. He further opined that the fall of Communism in Central and Eastern Europe and the disintegration of the USSR has contributed to the triumph of Western Liberal Democracy as the sole Political Ideology and the ultimate form of Government. The other school of thought was led by Samuel P. Huntington, another renowned American Political Scientist who in his famous publication ‘The Clash of Civilizations’ arg...

The Impending Catastrophe

“ W e have a heart but we also have a brain” -   Zoran Milanovic, Croatian Prime Minister. The ongoing Migrant crisis in the European Union has triggered a worldwide attention and has also drawn flak from among the member states over the policies adopted by the Union with policy makers trying to make a constant change to contain the influx of migrants with time. The discovery of the dead body of a 5-year-old Syrian boy washed ashore sent a shock wave to everyone including the international community. This was the talk of the virtual world for quite some time pouring in sympathies from all over the world. The influx of migrants flocking to the European Union seems to be never ending and till date, tens of thousands of migrants are flocking to the European Union with little or no hope at all for survival. While taking a look at the migrant crisis from the humanitarian perspective, the migrants have literally no option but to flock elsewhere for survival. The entire M...

Will Nagaland Survive The NPG's and the IBI Nexus?

W e Nagas are known for our hospitality but considering the situation we are in today perhaps we have been too kind and today we are plagued with outsiders surpassing our own population and the dire threat which we are facing is the increasing number of ‘ILLEGAL BANGLADESHI IMMIGRANTS'. Over the years, the influx of IBI’s has greatly increased and if compared tribe wise, the population of the IBI's far surpasses our population. Moreover, the crimes committed by them has reached its maxim and they dare to continue with their sinister designs on us in our own land just because we choose to remain ignorant. We are being threatened and killed. Our daughters molested and raped. Our children kidnapped and trafficked. We are being robbed in the daylight. Whenever any outsider commits a crime, instead of leveling serious actions against them we pat them on their back and grants them freedom by expelling them from our land. Is this justified? They are not only densely populat...
