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 is the most common tactic which they employ to silence any opinion which differs from theirs. Little do they realize that there are people who did not succumb to their evil ploy. When the first tactic fails, they employ the second tactic to emotionally blackmail their adversary. 'Don't always criticise, sometimes learn to appreciate others' is what they will say.
It's futile to even try to have a discourse with them. As I have said earlier, they do not have an opinion of their own. They will instead indulge and resort to mudslinging. Their minds are  preconceived and as such it is also futile to reason with them. They intend to win every conversation regardless of the methods involved.
Their minds are feeble yet they are pretentious. They will fickle when better opportunity presents before them. And so 'Poltroon' is the word which best describes them.

I have total disregard for these kind of people. I am trying to avoid them both in reality and in virtual. They are obnoxious and makes me sick. I have decided that it is best to leave them alone in their la la land.

On Recent Political Developments in Nagaland

T he NDPP has no relevance in Nagaland politics except that it is in power presently. It was born out of political necessity to reinstall the then Lok Sabha MP from Nagaland Mr. Rio back in to the state politics. If one can remember correctly Mr. Rio left the state in 2014 shortly a year after winning his consecutive third term as CM of Nagaland to make his debut in the national politics. Unlike the 2019 Lok Sabha election in Nagaland which was a very tight contest between the ruling government and the opposition Congress, Mr. Rio back then won with a comfortable margin of over 4 lakh votes. He was sent off with much grandiosity. Much hype was generated and the talk was in the air that Mr. Rio would be given Cabinet berth in the Modi 1.0 government. Rio could boast of his credentials as the lone seasoned politician from NER and also the Convenor of NERPF(Northeast Regional Political Forum). His speech in the Central Hall of Parliament on May 20, 2014 added a bonus point to it.  Acc...

Elections in Nagaland-Then and Now

F rom what I heard, our ancestors were men and women of great dignity. They were known for their honesty and simplicity. People honoured them for their simple yet elegant lifestyle. And this is quite evident from the scores of books which are readily available in the bazaars written by the early English people who had visited Nagaland. The General Election to the 1st Nagaland legislative Assembly was no exception. Unlike today’s election where only the rich and the powerful are considered qualified even to contest! There were no such criteria back then. Of course, there were only handfuls, who were educated but the common people were not spiteful of electing the deserving and the capable candidate nor were the candidates boastful of their candidature. Last year, during the latter part of November, I attended the funeral programme of Asu Kiyelho Phucho, Ex. MLA of Nagaland. During the course of the programme, a middle aged man came up to deliver a eulogy. My attention was caught w...

Kato And The Demonitisation

K ato was a poor farmer who could hardly make both ends meet. He had not been feeling well for a couple of days and so that day he decided to take off from going to the field and instead work in his small yard where he had planned to grow spinach. He was looking forward to earn some cash through this venture. No sooner had he started his work, a convoy of vehicles with red and blue beacons echoing back and forth whizzed near his house. The police then immediately swarmed the entire area within no time. He thought to himself what he might have done that the police have come to arrest him. He literally had no idea what this fuss was all about. He started to sweat from head to toe out of fear. He remembered having a brawl with his friend the other night but this couldn’t be the reason, he thought. Just then, a man well-clad in suits came out of the white SUV. Kato tried hard to remember the man’s face but he couldn’t. He was struck with awe and before he could say anything, ...
