It’s reprehensible to read the recent news report on the Naga IRB rampant acts on the innocent civilians in Chattisgarh especially the treatment to the local women. Nothing more should be left now to pull back the daring 101 battalion of the IRB (NAP) from the high caste Hindu dominated and suppressed region in India.
The Government of Nagaland publicity under the mask of ‘Naga soldiers for peace’ has now been overturned by the Indian government’s policy to create schism amongst the general Naga populace and the Indian civil society through the ethicizing of the state forces. What is the Indian state’s role in using Naga soldiers in the belly of the subcontinent while Naga Agri students are barred to explore areas for higher learning in Israel? Tell us how the sympathetic Indian civil societies’ concern and attitude to the peace building in the so-called India’s frontier region – Nagaland – will now be. The Naga frontal organisation under NPMHR, NSF, Naga Mothers and other concerned individuals have voiced out against the exportation of Naga soldiers. What a damn situation. Indian state has now been able to curb and restrain the powerful civil society voice through this manipulative indoctrination and vengeful acts.
Who is answerable? All Naga state assembly representatives should be answerable to the people now. Concerned public in Nagaland have to use the RTI Act now to demand what actually has been happening. The continued propaganda of Nagas being wild and intolerant to others are made to be exhibited through this Intelligence Bureau controlled Naga IRB War Game.
Time has now come for the whole Nagas to voice out against such inhumane acts of Naga soldier under falsifying sense on its inevitability for employment generation and promoting further alienation to the right cause of Naga struggle. Nagas’ honour should be weighed against this hired ‘rapist and terrorist’ and used under the sacred banner of the highly acclaimed Indian State security banner. Whatever the justification about acts being perpetrated by the Naga soldiers under INDIAN RESERVE BATTALION, the real pinch will be slowly experienced by the innocent Nagas.
Chain and butcher all the dogs around the newly created Chattisgarh to make it a rabies-free zone. But what will happen to the Naga soldiers who are chained to dog meat and drug by their mentors? Indian state ignorance of what its left and right hand does is apparently observed.
Gandhi must be smiling on what Indian state has done on the innocent Naga soldiers mind. We will have to groom a new X generation ‘adi-Nagas’ through the lust fertilisation. Nagas wake up, take your spears and chew real politix.
