One can easily judge a tree by its fruits. The fruit of the Naga Political Tree is alarmingly becoming injurious to the growth of Nagaland, and the very trunk of it is nearing collapse. Is it that the wrong seeds are being sowed in the right soil and vice versa? The political games being played by our leaders today have entangled themselves in a web of dishonesty and unscrupulous dealings, further making themselves captives of their own devices.
Money and gun power is the leadership of today. The question is, how or who will pull Nagaland out from this predicament? Is the problem created by the top to bottom political elements?
The creator God took the man (Adam) and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and take care of it and live off the land through his laborious pursuits (Genesis 2:15, O.T). The man worked the garden and reaped the fruits but was weak enough to easily let the evil intrude the paradise of his existence which ultimately made him accountable to God and thus he had to face the wrath as a consequence of not fulfilling his responsibilities.
Such is the situation prevailing in our land today. Nagaland is simmering and crawling under the growing politics of sub-standard, uncommitted, undedicated politicians. Whom to blame? Pointing fingers and blame shifting will never solve the problem. Heartfelt and genuine politics should emerge and equip the value-based educated men & women to cope adequately with life, with what lies ahead of him/her so as to create the leader in the adventure of life for all round-political, social, spiritual and economic upliftment.
Time and generation urges for an updated dimension of political streamlining to redeem Nagaland from the suicidal politics of politicians. It is really disappointing that this kind of politics has been forcibly developed and the real and the true politics of redemption is lacking. Vested interests alongside wolf-in –sheep clothing politics does more harm than good in the long run.
In Nagaland, there are political groups/parties and leaders without followers or supporters in reality and yet political powers are multiplying. The multiple Naga National Nomenclatures are also changing day and night. Nowhere in the world, except in Nagaland, could any group of people declare itself as the governing authority, or Government, truly these seems to be a brand of uniqueness of the Nagas.
The saddest truth of today’s politics is the presence of Anti-Nagaland forces. Every right thinking citizen should realize that we have given too much time and money to the formation of factions, Hohos, parties and committees, unions and too little time to their ends, achievements and values. The Naga politicians are in a way very successful in their personal goals, enjoying the public chair without any vestige of achievements for their land.
The Naga politicians are excessively brave and shameless to amass and launder public wealth without bothering about the consequences of their deeds today for tomorrow. They act and live as if they are going to live forever in this uncertain and short lived world. On the other side, the bureaucrats are also timidly and habitually following the money power addicted and Gonda-like leaders and too reluctant to withdraw their support towards such extremely corrupted leaders, withholding from speaking out the truth for their children’s future.
Dear fellow Nagas, let us love one another not by policies but by action. Let us try to do something for helping out a Naga. At the same time let us also cease wasting our precious lives and time for such a non-achievable goals. Let us be wise and be watchful because the days are full of wickedness, deceit, treachery and unwise addiction to worldliness. True Nationalism and patriotism are not for sale nor can it be purchased. Our motherland (Nagaland) is crying for repentance of her people from this sinful existence.
The blood of Abel cried out for vengeance. Cain had no concrete reason to murder his brother nor did Joseph’s brothers to sell their brother to stranger. Leaders who are stained with their own people’s blood will never win the battle nor become leaders in the true sense of leadership. They can only create conspiracies and be known as conspirators till the end of their lives which defeats the very purpose of them being elected to be the leaders with a conscience. The money-loving and pleasure-seeking leaders will make their land into Sodom & Gomorrah.
We know that Cain murdered his brother Abel out of jealousy. If a man belonging to a faction/party is killed and another man belonging to another faction or party derives satisfaction from such killings, he becomes a partner in murder. God commanded us to compete in good works, refraining from bad deeds. Nagas could maintain non-violence with the aggressor/invaders but so mistakenly use violence causing loss, enmity, barriers amongst our own people and community.
The discouraging fact of our Naga society is that the leaders are in wants of crores whereas the common people are in need of a rupee. What chasmic divide between the leaders and the followers as well as “the haves and have not” that burns Nagaland in reality. As a most basic patriotic approach and essential need of the hour, let us all try to forgive and forget the negative part of what we have done and move forward, converging on the table of “Brotherhood” and in obedience to God, let us hold the banner of “Nagaland for Christ” to let our Nagaland be a harbinger for goodness for India and for the rest of the world.
It is my sincere hope that these words spoken find resonance with my fellow Nagas.
