•-Your articles on Naga Issues are the only source of Naga news that I can get amongst thousands of others in India and abroad. Your team deserves continuous support. Meanwhile, I would like to express my simple thoughts on what we Nagas should do in the face of dilemma after 13 years of cease fire between NSCN & INDIA.
From whatever information we the general public get; is that India wants to find an alternative solution to the demand for sovereignty. Then we have heard of Greater Nagaland under Indian Constitution etc and it sound to me like we are waiting for India to give us something that is Honorable recognizing our Naga history, culture and distinct identity as an ethnic groups. But I am not too sure what India is going to design and offer as an alternative arrangement?(if at all) Don't we ourselves have some alternatives that we can propose? Do we have at least two or three alternatives that can be proposed to India during the dialogue/negotiation? Or are we going to wait on their strategy? As a simple Naga, I would not be interested to take whatever India gives. I would rather like ourselves to design our own destiny and bargain on those alternatives. I am sure this simple thoughts are quite commonly known and discussed by several ordinary Nagas for a while.
