As a commoner, a layman and a true son of the soil, I do want to place my voice in front of every tribesmen, fathers and mothers, sons and daughters of the soil.
We as a unique entity, known throughout the world as Nagas, each one is special in terms of ethnicity or culture of the varied sections of tribes, yet blended into one unique society, one voice and one soul.
Given the current scenario of our soil and its state of affairs, I am really worried and concerned about the future of our people, culture and its ethnicity and the bonds of unity that was existent since time immemorial.
Earlier as a child, it was seen to be affected by military occupations, insurgency and terrorism and currently, this fear of losses has been profoundly compounded by some non sense and absence of morality in governance.
To sum up, our future seems bleak and dark with such a persistence of dirty and dangerous politics being played with the sentiments of the common public.
As a common citizen of this soil, I learnt in our school about what a Govt. is, how it’s formed and it functions
⇒Democracy says it's a Govt. of the people, for the people, by the people. We elect these so called public servants to serve us, for the betterment of all, but not to dictate their orders upon us. Constitution of course is there, yet we have our special provisions in all aspects.
⇒Again, a unified body of all the tribes has seen formed to bring forth the common issues of all and to address them to the Govt. such a body and those who head them should be bold and matured enough to guide the common public towards the path of success and development without a tiny hint of non violence, failing so, should make them re-think the purpose of their existence.
⇒ Also, we public should never get so very carried away that without thinking even once, we should put at stake, several innocent lives which may be someone's son or daughters or brother or a sister. We should never think about destroying our own assets which our children would inherit in the future. Last but not the least, the current ongoing crisis and the probable repercussions have impacted me to raise few questions towards the common public, the apex body of organizations and the Govt. in particular:
⇒ Having witnessed such a polity, the governance and its insensitiveness, do we still re-elect such a government to power?
⇒ Lives were lost, bereaved are families, but are we still resorting to violence & escalate the tensions more?
⇒ Are we going to rectify our mistakes by compensating the lost souls with more morality of thorough consulting and executing actions or by being reckless?
⇒ Is the apex body of organizations going to reboot its shoes and arms, so that people stop pointing fingers and stop questioning on its unity being compromised?
⇒ When is this Govt. going to realize that MLAs are the representatives of people & the common masses? When people have stopped believing the Govt., isn't it high time now to own up for this prevailing chaos and step down? Is it not going to ever realize a common saying "With great powers come great responsibilities'?
