Concerted campaigns, handcuffs and chains, jail mosquitoes/watery prison dal and the taint & pains have failed to deter the practice of corruption one bit. Those people indulging in this savage competition feel life is easier making wealth encouraged by the fact that wealth commands envy and respect. And hence the guilt of thriving on the extreme desperation of the people is attenuated or swarmed by the opulent lifestyle, a perfect form of ghettoisation where the suffering of your fellow beings is a high privilege for you. There is no deeper sadness than this act of vacuity and assault on morality witnessed today in our much maligned Naga society.Now, since all the available instruments and strategies have failed to address the problem a serious debate, retrospection and investigation should be encouraged to find an effective mechanism to tackle the menace. This is so, because to rethink ideas and stereotypes by merely juxtaposing events are not going to work. In the same time, no matter how hard it is to find a new strategy to deal rampant practice of corruption, we feel it is still wrong to allow ourselves from not moving out of the stereotype approach to tackle the disease because we definitely realized that all existing mechanisms are irrelevant to the situation. Coming to our own movement spearheaded by Against Corruption and Unabated Taxation (ACAUT) we are happy to see such campaign has enormous appeal in our land. But we would like to caution ACAUT that the relationship they have with the various issues dogging the Naga society is defined by a peculiar equation and thus their tightrope walking is getting complicated as they peck on issue after issue. It is worth noting that rampant corruption has a powerful negative effect and has tarnished the Nagas’ standing as a simple and honest people. Pained by the trend few Naga brave hearts have initiated the anti corruption movement (from campaign against multiple taxation) against all odds.Now, what ACAUT should focus is to aim for new height of strategy or else exhibiting the not-daring spirit (to explore for new strategies) will lead them nowhere.
