I. RACISM.
[dropcap]Q[/dropcap]uite some years ago, when the Name NAGALAND PEOPLES FRONT, (NPF) was converted into (NPF), NAGA PEOPLES FRONT; this Writer, in an Article irreverently mentioned in the News Media the new nomenclature is RACIAL.
He expected thunderous ire from the Party President or from the celebrated Chief Minister, but there was none; neither Thunder nor Fire & Brimstone dropped down from Heaven or from the Organization. The Writer was surprised at their loud silence on such an important and crucial Issue.I felt a little queer but held my Peace since I did it neither in Malice nor in Love: I did it to point out the significant puzzling English Grammar.
Racism is one of UN’s most detested Issues and is today taken in such seriousness in civilized Circles that even National Club or Player is handed stiff Fines or Sanctions for Racial Utterances at African Soccer Players. Celebrated Players like Ferdinand, Suarez or even Terry of Chelsea have not been spared from the punishments.
Racism is such insidious that in the Hands of communal Parties, it may easily descend into Genocide, Racial Cleansing or Racial discrimination; it is second only to Religious Intolerance in Devilishness.
India has social Caste Apartheids; even many have Race prejudices. The North East People suffer from such prejudices in the major Cities of India.
There is danger Naga Political Movement inadvertently and unintentionally may generate Racism against Indians.
Nagaland must develop into a Modern, Non-Racial, Secular, Strong and Tolerant State, giving special attention to Minorities.
II. WHEN IS FUND RAISING TAXATION?
The Konyak Student Union (KSU) has very rightly said:
“Student Bodies and NGOs should not undertake any sort of donation drive in the Market” (Nagaland Post 1 April 2014).
This is the most welcome brilliant dynamic Idea any Student Body so far in Nagaland has come out. In fact; nobody, not even the legally established Government -unless passed in the Legislative Assembly of Nagaland- has the Authority to collect any Fund be it in the Market or otherwise.
In Practice, only unsolicited voluntary Free Gift alone comes under the legality of the law; all other Fund collection is Unauthorized.
Some Nagas are so Christian they seem to believe they have religious sanction to ask donation from every potential acquaintances if it is for going to Jerusalem or for a Tour of the Holy Land; and most Nagas have become so narrowly docile they pay anybody if it is in the name of Naga National Purpose!
Thanks to ACAUT of Nagaland who have shown everybody under the Nagaland Sun that TAXATION is a Subject even the NSCN can not arrogate the Power to themselves.
If the State Government has any Honor in itself, the prevention of Taxation by other Authorities in the Territory it controls is its primary constitutional duty.
III. WHOLE COMMUNITY VOTE FOR ONE PARTY.
They are Signs of UNRIPE DEMOCRACY:
i. all Villagers voting for the Candidate the Village Council has decided.
ii. the whole Tribe vote for the Party the Tribe organization is inclined.
iii. All MLAs of the Tribe are from one and the same Party.
iv. Church Leader or Functionaries of Non-Political Organization openly supporting particular Party Candidate prior to Voting degrades civilized Democratic Value of Secret Voting.
