It is by God’s grace that India became an independent nation, so also the Nagaland as the 16th State at the cause of shedding: the true sweats, the true bloods, the true tears and praying the trueprayers and the true money contributions not at gun points, all these were to become a nation not solely for a better eating,  a better wearing, a better sheltering and a better driving to one’s comfort, and mind that this gun threats for money is foreign to the people of Nagaland; Oh! Nagaland what makes you so weak, so vulnerable, so gullible, so defunctionalized politically? Is this the impale of the terror of guns? the lusts? or the divided strong? This Nagaland on becoming a state in India one need not bask in the wrong adulation and better not delve to the abnormalities as the father of Nagaland state or as the creator of Nagaland state at the sacrifices of other people, in fact there is the need to discipline one’s-self to the equilibrium for the good of one and all, to present and future.


As to the situational link of Nagaland to India it was all on politics and neither the war origin nor the revolutionary uprising; in Nagaland was an imported ideology which came on the latter days and under this newly arrived ideology much judgements were taken place by the revolutionary patriots to the reactionary traitors (the newly heard words) muffling the voice of human rights to inaudible at the full content of Defense Ministry at the Centre.


When the Nagaland political instinct and the political aspiration was launch on the submission of the memorandum it was all of the peaceful origins submission, “Pen not sword”,  which was as per the very nature of Nagaland people where the people were (not are) peaceful, sociable, noted hospitality, honest, trustworthy, hardworking, more human, more patriotic, yes there was the head hunting but in course of time due to drastic consequential changes the tide changed to “Sword not pen”. There on the Naga Federal Army was formed with the home-grown military tactics and the home-grownsniper warfare, the home-made muzzle loading gun and the few available rustic riffles and the bullets from world war II, there they rose to the military confrontations which balanced the equation well tothe definition of war against those Divisions from the entire big main land, Oh! God, here to say God was on our side.
