I, Y.Wangtin Naga always felt great and thank God for being born in Naga family although as a layman I could not contribute anything for the Nagas. I also felt myself to be a fortunate person to be in Naga politics where I personally have seen and knew why and how in our Naga national politics. In my personal relationship with the Naga politics, I am Wangtin Naga and not Wangtin Pakistani or Wangtin Bangladeshi and I am what I am. Let God Krishna, Ram and Hanuman give Indian leaders the insight and real wisdom to witness that, Nagas are really victimized by Indian Government and her security forces for no foul of theirs. In this today’s world India may boast as free nation, But every Indian citizen should retrospect the past history where British fishermen ruled them for almost more than three centuries, In fact, Indian people disliked the fishermen’s rule was displayed in non-violence means such as Satyagraha, Swadeshi, civil-disobedience and non co-operation etc. But the brave Nagas bravely fought with Britishers and confronted violently for their freedom and not for Indian freedom, or Pakistani’s freedom. This violent nature of the Nagas compelled the Britishers to incline towards Indian and subsequently, the British administration avenged the Nagas by handing over their rights and freedom into the hands of merciless Hindus and Muslim of India sub-continent. If Indian leaders try to know who the Nagas are and what really their problem was, the solution could have been as easy as any other genuine issue, but things are likely to be more complicated as no Indian leaders try to understand the Naga national movement. Rather, they used Assam Rifles who act violently against the Nagas. I don’t try to blame Indian leaders, but their inhuman attitude and approach towards genuine Naga issue might be caused by the races and religions because Indians are Dravidians and Aryans by races while Hindus and Muslim by religions against Mongolian Nagas by race while Christianity by religion. However, I want India to act elderly towards the Nagas which will display their maturity.
Some non-sense article came up recently as report from IB sources that, Mr.Isakswu Chairman NSCN-IM may be made the Chief Minister of Nagaland state as a part of NSCN-IM solution is nothing but betrayal on the part of NSCN-IM on one hand while demeaning the genuine Naga cause by Indian Government on the other hand if it really comes true. Mr.G.K. Pellai, former Union Home Secretary expressing that, Naga political solution will be in Mizoram’s formula is an insult to the Nagas. But I don’t see any chance of Naga people cow down before such immature trick of some individual or agency. It is better for four million Nagas to die instead of burying our past glory and invincible political and historical rights of the Nagas. Nothing can disqualify the Naga cause to become a free nation as we have three strong tools in our hands such as Indigenous rights, Political and Historical rights. India may crush our body but our political rights will remain immortally. The Naga people cannot and will not give up their sovereign rights as our case is nothing but India invaded Naga country.
To my layman’s understanding, the present cease-fire agreement signed with GOI have immeasurably weaken the Nagas as cease-fire becomes tools in the hands of Indian security forces, particularly Assam Rifles to crush the Nagas and their cause. I am one of the smallest man in Naga politics, Yet I humbly appeal all Naga political groups to study the losses during cease-fire period and think closely to reject what can crush our future before it is too late to salvage our nationhood. I never try to blame Indian security forces for their excessiveness, simply because their main aim is to crush the Naga politics, and they did it but I am blaming our own Nagas for our foolishness. We become tools in the hands of our enemies who will gradually swallow all of us one after another. It is our wrong and foolishness that, we hate our own brethren but have faith and rely on our common enemies. Stop killing among our own Naga brethren and let us build our broken home for which our great leaders should forgive one another for our future, least we have no hope.
In regards to NSCN-K cease-fire with Myanmar government, the NSCN-K just signed the cease-fire on 9th April 2012 and nothing step have been taken for any dialogue. All ethnic groups in Myanmar such as Kachin, Kayen, Karen, San, Mon, Yekhei etc. fighting for their rights signed cease-fire with Myanmar government long before the Nagas (NSCN) and formed a common platform popularly known as NCCT-National Cease-fire Co-ordination Team to determine their future have decided to review the existing Myanmar Law including re-drafting of Myanmar constitution. This NCCT have officially invited the NSCN to join their venture, but the Nagas rejected their invitation because the Naga issue is sovereignty issue and it has nothing to do with Myanmar domestic affairs. The Nagas and NSCN cannot and will not compromise the sovereign rights of the Nagas whatsoever. Today, only the Naga and Wah refused to be part of NCCT and revolving outside the ring of NCCT. Hence, Mr.G.K. Pellai who was one time secretary MHA of Indian Union should not speak about the Nagas of Myanmar country. Naga means, Nagas, not Indian nor Myanmarese.
