The current state political scenario is dramatic with state Government under attacked by civil organizations. The Naga Hoho has withdrawn its recommendation on the issue of Rongmei recognition. The make-up reason for such withdrawal could be justifiable in the pretext of considering the interest of the Naga society. However, the dignity and principle matter is compromised at the face of fierce confrontation. The ultimatum served to Naga Hoho by Aos, Lotha and Sumi Hohos back by CNTC has shaken the Apex to the base. Subsequently, the President of Naga Hoho, P. Chuba Ozukum was left with an option, either to resign himself from the post of President or withdraw the Recommendation. He was compelled to seek the guidance of the Presidential council at the pressure of the directive of Ao Senden federal Assembly. In the mean time, the state Government stand still on the issue as it has already been processed with the Notification of the Governor of Nagaland for the recognition of Rongmei with the rest of the Nagas of Nagaland. Following the resolution of the Presidential council of the Naga Hoho, the note of recommendation was withdrawn under compulsion for uncertain fear of any break-up of the Apex body if the President remains resolute in his principle. On the pretext of safe guarding the organization, the matter was compromised with the display of withdrawing the recommendation. Now the next is awaiting what will happen to Naga Hoho. Will CNTC or NTC come under Naga Hoho subjection in compliance to conceding its demand? Or will the organizations remain in a defiance position? Under the given circumstance, the Naga Hoho as an apex Naga Body need to be analyzed and reconsidered its credibility, accountability and durability is to how It may run and rule the whole Naga people. A need to transform or make a paradigm shift of the Apex organization onto contextual competency in today’s world. Here Leadership level and organizational structure need to be accessed and innovated. It is wondered to know that the Naga Hoho has succumbed to the pressure of some few leaders who plays the politic of divisions and sectional interest. It is observed that CNTC is now pictured in the Naga Society as a platform to attack Naga Hoho manipulating the tribe hohos. The Naga Hoho is knowingly or unknowingly being played down with hypnotizing politic and now under the spelled of CNTC. The credibility and accountability of the Naga apex body is questioned. When the apex body could easily be entangled and trapped by a sectional organization, the question of taking the whole Nagas forward is posing serious apprehension. Had Naga Hoho been conscious of the adverse implication that may come up by recommending or withdrawing support to any Naga tribe or for that matter recognition issue of Rongmei Naga tribe, the following discerning consideration should have been well considered and the current situation avoided. Perceives that, the Naga Hoho being apex body of all the Nagas irrespective of state boundaries should have no say on the line of state affairs and its policies in matter of Government plan program and provision. The idea of giving opinion and view in the form of recommendation and withdrawal of the same implies incompetency and inconsistency on the part of Naga Hoho. Stating the fact that the Naga issue is not of indigenous crisis or of the internal state Governmental policy. Viewed that the Naga Hoho had inadvertently or without much thought committed its hand to intervene the matter of the state Government even touching the matter of discriminative criteria of classifying Naga tribes in the state. The lightly given recommendation note containing only views and opinion stands invalidated with the withdrawal of the same. Perhaps the act of withdrawal of the recommendation would save the face better than facing the challenges within. However, the Naga integrity and uniting force for a common solution and settlement is badly affected by such act of compromising. What if the Ao or Rengma of Assam sought for recognition in Nagaland instead of Rongmei of Assam or Manipur? Will the same Govt. criteria be equally applied as applied to Rongmei or had the criteria made only for Rongmei? What about the influx of kukis and kacharis from the neighbouring states? Is there any Govt criteria of restriction made separately for them or of the same? I was thinking that the Naga Hoho could make wholesome and integral criteria for the Nagas disrespecting or irrespective of dividing state Boundaries. Instead, the Naga Hoho stooped down to consider the defective criteria of the Government of Nagaland of India in such a manner without considering the status and standing of the Naga people in the struggle for asserting their national right to self determination before India and the world. What a turn and tide could have been dragging and driving the Nagas’ society to have experience such a deficient nature in such a time when the world is revolutionizing fast into shaping a new era of universal development. May I appeal to the executive heads of Naga Hoho with the following hypotheses for consideration while furthering the cause of asserting the right, unity and harmony of the Naga people for a wholesome victory or achievement. The state of Nagaland of India is not run by the Naga Tribes of the state. Can a tribe Hohos dictate the Govt. Of Nagaland of India? If UNC is a subordinate body to the Naga Hoho, can CNTC or NTC or ENPO be made to represent the Nagas of Nagaland to the Naga hoho likewise? If not, a need to consolidate the so called civil tribal organizations of the state and be formulated for uniformity and unity in the apex Naga organizational structure. What is wrong with the Naga Hoho must be sorted out. Failure of Leadership principle or organizational position or misuse of power? Could it be that there are too many opposing leaders, too many crook organizations run by brute forces in the Naga society? The confusion-laden-Naga society is failing and falling from the crest of civility to the level of bestial cruelty. Restoring humane ethic and civic relation of the Naga society is indispensably urgent. Regretted to states that many good Christian leaders are silent over the evils, taking the lead in the Naga society. When public opinions are accounted, visionary and matter of principle are compromised. When the truth is made to silent at the face of money oriented politicians, any extend of wrong can be committed without any gravity of penalty. Such a society is a lawless society. The fact is seen in the Naga Society today.
