[dropcap]I[/dropcap]t compels me to jot down a few words and share some thoughts on the present condition of our land that has gone wrong everywhere. Everything around us is in total chaos and division only .Be it in our government, in our national movement, in our civil organisations, in our student bodies, in our churches, in our communities, in our work places and even in our homes. None seems to be least bothered about what’s happening today and where we are heading to. Everybody seems to be more concerned about only buying latest luxurious cars, building big mansions, owning expensive mobile sets or accessories and earning the easy way to get only some momentary pleasures. But none seems to be bothered about what’s really going to happen in our land tomorrow and our future generations. I wonder about this and feel very sad on what’s going to happen to me tomorrow and my children with total chaos and disorder all around.The ones who boldly stand and speak out against these wrongs and injustice are now termed as law-breakers, rebels or trouble makers. But worry not, my dear brothers! In every part of the history and world it was the righteous and the courageous people who work for a better tomorrow who were trampled and trodden. They are made to face the consequences just because they spoke for their land they care and love. The recent initiatives taken up by our brave young minds like ACAUT and Survival Nagaland should be appreciated by everyone if he or she thinks they are real Naga. These people have come to the fore-front sacrificing their time, energy, earnings and everything just because they care for our land and its people. Just because some want to remain in our comfort zones they cannot accuse others for everything or anything. Even Jesus was crucified a week later by the same crowd that cheered and welcomed him a week before in Jerusalem. Instead of lending our support and solidarity we are like those Jews and Pharisees who stoned the prophets just because they gave their all. But remember, God is going to judge everyone of us irrespective of the chair and status we enjoy today. Some of our leaders keep on saying so many good things for our land but their action seems just the opposite .Please love your people and your land, it is the only one we have. Or else it is going to be in some other illegal aliens’ hands and that day is not very far away. And you are going to be responsible for it if you don’t love your land and people.
