A Word About the Final Solution

The word Final Solution sounds like music to our ears. Should this music continue drumming in our ears to no end? Yes we have suffered enough under the weight of fear, uncertainties, intimidations and violence for a long time but things appears to be getting better and the music of peace and stability are gradually appearing on the horizon lately. One is presently investing much more time on speculating about a sort of final solution for the state that has experienced the trauma of hostility and instability for more than sixty years. Nagaland need no longer be made a playground where players of sorts with different agendas and visions play their games with no end in sight. Enough is enough. Does the state of Nagaland really need a Final Solution and if so, what are the rudimentary details that are still left out, that are in need of a solution. Should there be any issues left out for a final solution, such issues should be identified and spoken out loud and clear by the aggrieved with justification. Should there be any issues that involves the interest of the Nagas beyond its borders, the matter should be amicably sorted out locally wherein our well wishes and support will not be found wanting. Nagas should not be also made to go for a ride over an issue that does not belong to them. To avoid overlapping of interest and confusion, it may perhaps be necessary to clearly identify the interest and visions of the state and issues outside but in the process the bond of brotherhood and fraternity that unites the Nagas within or outside the State need not be overlooked.

I endorse the views expressed by Shri. K. Khekiye Sema relating to the proposal for the constitution of the PAN Naga HoHo. There is no harm constituting a platform for the sake of emotional, social and cultural identity but if the proposal is conceived with other motives involving political agendas and territorial issues such proposal in the long run will create divisions of interest that may be counterproductive to the cause of unity and fraternity among the Naga community. PAN Naga HoHo sounds good but this should be made conceivable and workable on the ground.

We have travelled long enough. It is time to hold our breath and have a sigh of relief. What we have reached thus far is good enough for the moment.
