KOHIMA, May 19 (NEPS): Panellists who took part in the DDK Live Discussions on the recent visit to Nagaland by the eight European diplomats here at DDK Studio on Saturday have expressed almost the similar opinions that there was nothing wrong on the part of the civil society members, state government functionaries including legislators sharing about the decades old Naga political issue with them.
The panellists were Naga Hoho President Keviletuo, NEPS Editor Oken Jeet Sandham and Nagaland Post Correspondent Daiho Mao.
The DDK Live Discussion at 2 PM under the weekly programs “Trends of Nagaland” which was anchored by senior journalist and DDK commentator, KV Nurumi, also reviewed on the comments made by State Governor Nikhil Kumar, Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio, etc. with regard to the Naga issue as well as issue of Nagas living in Myanmar. The Governor and the Chief Minister shared their views and opinions on the Naga issue while they were called on by the visiting diplomats who seemed to be more interested to know about the Naga histories.
The Nagaland visit by the eight European diplomats had created a flutter when the Ministry of Home Affairs expressed their objections to their free and frank interactions with the Naga people here in the State expressing their apprehension saying that some sections of the Naga people attempted to internationalise the Naga issue. The Ministry was at loggerheads with the External Affairs Ministry saying that they did take proper clearance from them (Home Affairs Ministry) for the diplomats before entering the sensitive border state.
The Naga Hoho President Keviletuo expressed his opinion that although Nagas had been divided and placed them in two countries—India and Myanmar—they were still one family. He was also of the opinion that the interactions they had with the visiting eight European diplomats in Nagaland were very rare and further stated that the Government of India should not unnecessarily feel apprehensive because they themselves had expressed about the “unique histories of the Nagas.” It was only expressions of the Nagas and not against the Government of India, he added.
NEPS Editor Oken Jeet Sandham, while stating that interactions with the visiting European Diplomats with the Naga civil societies on the Naga political issue was good, however opined that such interactions should be very careful at this juncture because the talks with the Government of India had already entered into a very “decisive phase.” “If there are no talks with the Government of India on the Naga political issue, then we can talk as we like with any dignitaries such as the visiting diplomats. But when the negotiation process are on with the Government of India, to engage in any discussions such as Naga political issue with the foreign diplomats should be very diplomatic,” he stated.
Nagaland Post Correspondent Daiho Mao said the tussle between the two key Ministries of the Government of India over the visit of Nagaland by the eight diplomats was good in a way that had shown how the Naga issue was serious and genuine. He also said sharing of Nagas’ history with the visiting diplomats was only natural because the latter stated that their visit to Nagaland was to familiarise with the Naga people.

On the path of truth

Since our childhood, we read in our books, we heard from our teachers and parents that the best path to move is the path of truth. In fact, truth has been considered as a virtue of spirituality, truth has been considered as a quality of mankind. Truth is confidence, truth is courage. These all phrases, when we heard, we were children, children with pure heart and fresh minds. Our minds were blank and anything that we saw, we heard, we talked and wrote has become part of our memory. Following the path of truth was one of those, stories of martyrs and saints impressed our hearts and minds and we started behaving as a true person. By the time when we grew up, we learnt techniques of telling lies, though these were childish lies and thus our truth remains unaffected. Even, at the present time, everybody who is living in society has different mindset, attitude, principles etc but still there is no conflict among various social groups on the matter of truth. Truth is all time favorite quality of all. At present, when we all are divided on many views and other identities, it is the truth that easily gets support from all sides sooner or later.

Now, once again there is a story in front of our eyes, the story of Irom Chanu Sharmila. We all are witnessing an era of a woman moving on the path of truth in spite of all even and odds. This is a story of turning a common human being as an uncommon revolutionary. Probably she was the child who received many morals from those stories, and probably she was the girl during her college days who observed truth everywhere, probably she, when worked for people, favored truth in all conditions, without fear. She is the lady, who is fighting for people, without fear. This courage, the courage of being on hunger protest since eleven years, truly reflects the power of truth. She, once again, proved that truth is neither helpless nor weak; instead it can multiply the courage within one’s heart. Continuous struggle of Irom, once again drew attention of all towards this peaceful struggle.

Undoubtedly, the struggle is tough, it is more difficult than any violent protest, but more acceptable. She fight, but she doesn’t need to search any hideouts. She is always ready to face anyone, she is always ready to answer and she is sure that her protest has no adverse effect on anybody. In fact, she is clearly sending a message that truth can never be defeated. She reflected that those who move on path of truth, get followers and their impact multiplied. Those who move on the path of truth, give birth to new thoughts and philosophy themselves and society absorb their teachings to move on the same path for various reasons during various times.

Message of her struggle should be received by government of India as soon as possible. Government by understanding importance of the whole issue; should give recognition to her protest because by taking initiatives. It is demand of time due to various reasons. First, to encourage non violent protest, and it can lead the way of reduction of armed struggles because they can get diverted when they will find that non violent protests are better way to spread the message of demand, second, it can give ample benefit to affected people , third, it is moral responsibility of government to give recognition to values of truth, humanity and non violence and last it can bring a fruitful result, mutually acceptable to all stakeholders, for a common benefit of public . We all hope that we will very soon be able to see the initiative of government and thus will witness a full story of truth once again, we read somewhere.
