•-We Nagas are known for fast aping and copying, be it in lifestyle, fashion, culture and other in things. While missing so many links on the way to transition, we have now caught up with the latest trend of scandals. The much controversial and long pending scandal of the education department seems to be getting more entangled. The government is in a catch 22 situation because the problem is of a large magnitude involving more than a thousand aggrieved teachers whom the government is fully responsible for giving the appointment on whatever basis and thousands of educated unemployed who are seeking justice and fairness. Plants just don’t die by cutting the nib alone unless it is removed from the root. What the government is trying to do is just cut the nib when it grows too large by giving this assurance and that appeasement, while the root remains and keeps growing. It is high time the government owns up responsibility and brings the culprit to book instead of cover-ups and protecting their guilty.
Does it make any sense to thousand of people who face outright rejections, discrimination and victimization on political grounds and selfish bureaucrats who use all the government rules available for their own convenience? How the government handles the problem will be a real test for all their loud and outward expression of good governance, Transparency and accountability. It is heartening and hopeful to see NSF the apex body of the students’ standing for the right cause. If the NSF bends or gives in to the appeasement “please all” policies of the government, the prevailing symptoms will be breed dreaded incurable diseases. But if they stick to their guns despite all odds, till the legitimate end, then, we have begun reformation of our society. After all, who has to reform the society! Is it you or I? everywhere on pulpits or on dais, we see and hear public leaders and government officials proclaiming and acclaiming the youth as the future of tomorrow while today, we sadly see a young, upcoming generation fighting helplessly a strong, hostile environment built by these very same people. If the present crisis is not solved sensibly in all honesty, it will lead to more unrest and anarchy which are but, the natural outcome of social and economic inequalities.
