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.

DIVIDER IN CHIEF AT IT AGAIN!

T he cover page of the Time’s magazine with the portrait of Modi donned in a black Nehru coat with a saffron scarf was published on May 9, 2019. The article carried a compelling title which read as ‘INDIA’S DIVIDER IN CHIEF’. Shortly after it was published, it evoked widespread criticisms from the ruling party especially on Twitter with bots and fake handles of the ruling party making a scathing attack on the author as well as the magazine. But it managed to strike a chord with the many who have had enough with the supreme leader who absolutely had no remorse for the 2002 Godhra carnage and the incidents thereafter. The BJP, a far right extremist party rose to power in 2014 riding on the waves of Modi and again in 2019 banking on pseudo-nationalism after the Balakot airstrike was conducted discreetly. Mr. Modi, the man solely responsible for the pogrom while he was still the Chief Minister of Gujarat was denied visa by the United States barring him from entering the country in 2005 ...

The Poltroons of Naga Society

There are countless of them. Their physical features resembles that of a human but their traits are nowhere near to that of a civilised being. They are worst than the leeches. For a leech stop sucking the blood of its prey once it is satiated. But these people will not stop till life is sucked out of its prey. They do not have an opinion of their own. The only job of these jabronis is to defend the actions of their masters. They do so because their survival depends on the crumbs thrown at them by their masters. They are active mostly on Facebook and WhatsApp. They will lambaste anyone who tries to raise voice against the establishment. 'Positive criticism' is what they pretend to advocate but in reality they detest all sorts of criticism. Their polemic writings are a testament to that. They cannot withstand the bitter truth for it is hard to swallow. 'You've sold your vote during the election, you have no right to raise your voice now' so 'SUFFER'. This i...

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...
