Lima P. Angam: In today's paper, 'While expressing sympathy to the victim of gang rape. The Assam Muslim Welfare Union(AMWU) also warned that the Naga Council and NGO's should not vitimize the Muslims in Dimapur lest the Nagas outside face similar fate. Slamming the Naga Council on the issue of ID card to all Muslims, the AMWU said it was against the constitution and the govt.'
This is the price we get for adopting the Miyas. The worst is yet to come when the Miyas of Nagaland starts challenging our leaders in our own soil.
The warning of AMWU also came to the contrary when the Muslim Union Dimapur expressed their appreciation upon the issue of ID card to Muslims. This is how Miyas cheat the Nagas. You know not the design of their evil intention. Share your views, bloggers.
Asakho Chachei: We Nagas are giving employment to Meiyas in so many ways. Some use Meiyas for expansion of land. Thats the worst of all the employment given to them. That has to be stopped before the meiyas choked my hometown Dimapur.
Ash Kachui: Illegal immigrants are a growing hazard to our society. I have witnessed the rise in population of Muslim immigrants from Bangladesh. As I came back from Hyderabad by train, I came across a group of Tsumar youths going to Dimapur. I got into conversation and found out that they don't have any specific job nor do they have relatives in Dimapur. On further interrogation, they told me that they find Dimapur a suitable environment for labour works and settlement.
The recent rally in Pakistan organized by Difa-e-Pakistani held some of the leaders of Lashkar -e - Taiba speaking a sinister idea about killing non-believers and taking over India.
It may seem irrational to our immigrants but the emergence of these illegal immigrants in our society cannot be taken lightly.
Kiusangthong Tomuku: Laura, if you quarrel with Miyas in Dimapur you can't do anything. They'll overpower you and blow you away easily, unless you know/speak sumi, kalashh! This is the present reality of Dimapur, when are we going to realize. I don't feel like home in Dimapur, looks like a Miyapur. Just visualize the picture and before its too late better to stop sheltering those Miyas.
Ago Iralu: We may be tribals but we’re still under Indian constitution. Whereas they are not, they are Illegal immigrants now. They need to show documentation that they procure ‘RIGHTS’ to come to India which is a foreign country now, post 15th August 1947. It is the rule of the Law, which implements here. How can they threaten us with consequences when they live in another’s country and not their own. I do not have anything against Islam or its people. In fact, in my relationships with them I found them most worthy and that Islam is one of the few religions I respect as very pious and sincere to their belief. This is not about religion but about “Illegal Immigrants” in Nagaland, in Assam, in Tripura, In the North-east who are there without proper documentation. Without proper ID cards.
I feel very much Bangladesh and its problems they are facing now. I have nothing against Bangladeshis but the law and customs to another country implies where it lies. I have worked with Amnesty, volunteered in save the children and contributed to Doctors without Borders for the world to be a better place. Bangladesh may not be my problem but the immigrants coming into my land is and something I will have to address because of its consequence.
Vinoka: Miyas. Miyas. Miyas. Miyas. Miyas. Oh, Miyas!
I phok phok your head.
I phok phok your head.
But you phok phok my land.
And you phok phok my land.
I was not born in Dimapur. I won’t forget the first time I went to Dimapur. I saw so many Kholamis in huge numbers doing everything. Driving autos, pulling rickshaws, tending tea stalls, in the shops, begging on the railway station. Infact in every five persons I come across at any moment three will be Kholamis. And they stared at like I was a foreigner in my own land! And Naga people so stylishly moving about like foreigners was so sparse. I had the impression that contrary to it being a town of Nagaland, I was visiting a Land of Kholamis just like those other Naga people I met.
Enough of saying Miya this Miya that.
Enough virtual bashing and gossiping about them in our society. Now with our tolerant and pusillanimous attitude it has now come down to this!
Think, reflect, acting on what needs to be done is the need of the hour rather than indulging in on our favorite pastime again on an issue which has bigger complications, whose brunt we will face serious consequences if we don’t unite and act on it.
Yanpvuo Kikon: Whatever steps PEOPLE IN NAGALAND TAKE, DO THINK ABOUT US who are far away from home. THIS IS A THREAT TO US 'NAGAS' WHO ARE WORKING or STUDYING OUTSIDE OUR STATE. I hope our leaders understand the criticality of the situation and make wise decisions so that no harm comes to our Naga brothers and sisters outside Nagaland because of your hasty decision and action against these groups.
