This is the question which keeps ringing in my ears. As i look around it seems to be. Nagas seems to be perfectly contented living under India. We seem to have forgotten the blood shed by our fathers and happily living under India. The Blood, the sweat and the tears of our fathers seem to have gone in vain. As i ask this question i found some few reasons why Patriotism is dead in Nagaland ( Central Nagalim) .
1) Taxation or Extortion. Young Nagas are disillusioned because of rampant extortion. If the money being taxed are used truly for freedom movement, young Naga minds won't have been frustrated. But the money being " taxed " are used to buy acres of land, swanky cars and palatial mansions. Why won't young Nagas be frustrated and disillusioned?
2) Factionalism. So many groups or factions with every group claiming to be the sole and legitimate representatives of the Nagas. This is confusing many young Naga minds. If only the factions comes under one banner, Naga movement would've had the best of brains and muscles. RAW and MI is having a field's day dividing us. India is beaming with pride because of its " Divide and Rule Policy".
3) The Central Government is pumping in so much money in Nagaland but intentionally it is not checking how it is being used. Corruption is so high in Nagaland. We are being made lazy with easy money. Look around in the urban naga areas, we see the latest cars zipping around. We do not realize but we are intentionally made lazy. Otherwise, so many of our netas and babus would have been in Jail by now. Don't fall into the web of India's diabolic policy.
I think Nagas of today needs to wake up and re-think. Think of our birth rights, we are not Indians. We are forced to be made Indian and some are happy being Indians. I, for one am not an Indian but a Naga and freedom is our birthright. We Nagas, are free spirits of the Naga Hills. Let us hope that the Blood shed by our forefathers has fallen on fertile ground and in their place Lakhs of young Nagas will rise up.
