At the outset, let me congratulate K. Tia Longchar for his excellent article: “Looking Beyond Statehood” which appeared in The Morung Express on January 30, 2014. The need of the hour for the Nagas is to look beyond oneself, one’s tribe, one group and beyond the imposed State. The solution to our protracted political problem lies largely in our own hand if only we shed our selfishness and imbibe a higher vision. We can achieve our common aspiration only though a united voice and concerted action as a longest suppressed people group on the planet earth. It will be futile for a single ant to wrestle with an elephant but together with faith in the God of the Bible, we can move mountain.
