This writer in the matters of the much bearing impracticality in the current state of the anticipated talk for a solution between the center and the Nagas…has these words for closure from his viewpoint: the conclusion of the talk is bound to have an extensive duration considering there are multiple issues, areas and parties—bordering and hovering around the instantaneous glimpse of one of the longest protracted inter-nation conflict. A fascination of spectacular phenomenon the interlude spawning exclusively closest affinity procured unwavering of disposition and a score and half a century has been disposed already.
The talks will have to undergo various stages, of which the foremost step will require of the Nagas (inclusive of all parties) to concede upon a common understanding and approach the GoI to implicate the elements for the drafting. Like a writer recently stated, of how during the push for own interest among the individuals and groups, certain routes of exploration for solution may vanish into thin air—this would be regrettable and unfortunate; upon such event, on whomever’s part – although since Indo-Naga conflict still remain inconclusive – thus would lead to further routes of exploration; however the present exercises turned into obsolete would also be waste of time and energy every party has invested in thus far.
The first step is the least of the problem, or rather intellectual stress the delegates will have to endure. The people have to keep ourselves intact with the concurrences of agreements the delegates of all parties, both in national and international community (Myanmar) will have to embark upon during the process. To update the people with the developments, the representative of the people of Nagaland would have to usurp the responsibility and accountability to furnish and present the materials [relevant to condition and circumstances], during timely intervals throughout the discourse of talks. To ensure the representative and the discourse are accountable to the people en-masse, during the exposure of the developments, the public will have access to scrutinize and remark valid points either for instillation, rectification or proper clarification, on both sides.
Being a concerned Naga and politically conscious—like most Naga and also people around the world—have recently affirmed to the trend, the present pause of political developments pertaining to the Indo-Naga conflict should be facilitated by the state govt., to arrange the meeting of the parties by throwing a formal or informal invitation and accommodating the environment for the talks to pursue. Announcing formally the consolidation of the parties to engross over the threshold for the periods of talks to be deliberated upon, would be for the outmost interest of the public and all section, with relevance to the pressing issues on hand in all forms of our reality.
It appears presently as though not much of exchange or premises, from the people of Nagaland’s viewpoint have been measured for perusal and deduction, to enclose towards the coherent inclination that nurtures and safeguard each party’s investment and valid proposals, leaving potential room for gaps to address the ignorance on this matter. A note to fathom about, where in the realm of dearth in application of productive interactive session by reception, does there exist a degree in discourse even, the futility is not comprehensive in illustration and being familiarized with. People need closure when hope is being fragmented and no effectual effort being procured.
The point of views in the narrative this writer suggests are excerpts of methods prevalent in potential otherwise in relative spectrums where natural justice is instituted in social and political sensible realities… and follows. May we have closure and clarity amidst the political pollution that remains inconsistent and disoriented at this juncture in our trajectory of circumstances.
