Indian Interlocutor R.N. Ravi has clarified time and again that boundaries of North East India States would not be affected which means Naga areas of Manipur, Assam and Arunachal Pradesh will not be included in the Naga peace settlement. The Nagas termed it as a process towards Naga political solution. For Indians and R.N. Ravi, the termed the on-going talk as the ‘Peace Process’. Where as the Indian authorities are unambiguous in using clear term, the Naga are confused lots.
For all these years the Naga Student’s Federation and Naga Students’ Union Delhi have been formed with a primary objective to include all the Naga inhabited areas under one umbrella. But now completely departing from its original principle, the NSF and NSUD have been very vocal on political solution without integration of the Naga areas. Why contradicting themselves? Why they failed to read the message between the lines? Ravi’s message is very clear. The Naga political groups have agreed to the term of Government of India i.e. talk without sovereignty and integration. And this is the reason why GOI is pleased to have peace talk with Naga groups.
Any settlement without integration of all the Naga areas is against the declared principle and belief of the NSF and NSUD. Against all odds, the NSF and NSUD have been struggling for the unity and integrity of all the Naga students regardless of areas and boundaries. Remember! the present political talk without integration which the NSF and NSUD are on the fore front is merely suicidal because the settlement without integration will lead to ultimate disintegration (breaking) of both the NSF and NSUD. Their decades old Constitutions have to be changed and rewrite as Nagaland Students’ Federation and Nagaland Students’ Union, Delhi.
Know that the pioneering figures in the present movement of Core Committee of Nagaland Tribal Hohos and Civil Organisations (CCNTHCO) are from NTC, CNTC, and ACAUT who are tooth and nail against the inclusion of Naga areas in any Naga political settlement. Therefore, the NSF and NSUD are going to be trapped by their own making. Posterity will curse them!.
