Enough of Beating Around The Bush

Ever since the diabolical Framework Agreement was signed on August 3, 2015, between the Government of India and the NSCN-IM. It has caused quite a stir among the Naga intelligentsia. Except for the few proponents of the NSCN-IM, the majority of the Nagas have expressed their displeasure to subscribing something that they do not know. No one knows what the Framework Agreement is all about or what the contents of the Framework Agreement are. Yet, it is hilarious to note that some NSCN-IM functionaries and their henchmen are all out praising the collective leadership of the NSCN-IM and the Prime Minister of India, Shri. Narendra Modi for coming to a conclusion to this age old Indo-Naga issue. One may well assume whether it is sheer stupidity or the belief that they will be endowed with some greater responsibilities post solution that prompted the nincompoops to support something that they are not even aware of! Only time will tell and it will be left for the public to decide whether the solution will be honorable or not. 

No doubt, the Naga issue is unique and complex in the whole of South and South East Asia. However, how can anyone in their sanity blindly endorse something that they do not know what good it will bring forth?

Every Naga aspires to live under one roof without any external interference and do away with tribalism because the very fabric that entwined the Nagas has been fragmented by tribalism and this is the root cause for most of the problems in our State. And while we are being confronted with so many problems, the NSCN-IM has added another woe to our already burdened state by claiming to be the sole representative of the Nagas. The NSCN-IM have been bragging about that the signing of the Framework Agreement will bring forth an honorable and amicable solution. That without territorial integration they will not accept any sort of solution. But the very Indian leaders who have been instrumental in the signing of this agreement have stated candidly in the recently held Manipur elections that integration of Naga inhabited areas from other states is not part of the agreement. 

Now that leaves us to deduce either the flamboyant claims made by the NSCN-IM or the claims of the Indian leaders.
As such, the pertinent question that triggers each and every Nagas of Nagaland is:
1.Whether the FA encompasses the Naga inhabited areas of Assam, Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh or it is applicable only to the present state of Nagaland?
2. If the FA is applicable only to the State of Nagaland then why is it being negotiated by outsiders on our behalf? Did anyone entrust them to do so? 
3. Does it imply that the provisions of the agreement will be enjoyed by the Nagas from other states as well without territorial integration?

If the claims made by the NSCN-IM is legit then every Naga will wholeheartedly support this cause because the feeling of Nationalism still runs high in the blood of very Nagas unlike most of the NPGs who care only about their materialistic desires. But the truth has been kept in total darkness and the people have been forced to believe in some utopian ideas.

The NSCN-IM has for too long been openly professing that they are the guardian of the Nagas and this has to stop immediately. They should know that they do not have the mandate of the people nor are they the sole representative of the Nagas. Any solution arrived at should be inclusive and the public be made known about the talks or else it will only exacerbate the already deteriorating Nagaland.
May God be our guide.

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...

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...

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...
