We are at an exceptional political threshold and something big is about to happen. Before it strikes, let us strike. Since unity of all NPGs or their nomenclatures (or a single common nomenclature) is not ready yet, let us all move together with one voice in unison for an interim and transitional solution or settlement to make it more meaningful and more transformational (including a reconciliation process headed by FNR and the Church represented by all denominations, such as a revived Naga Christian Forum). Let this agreement make us better for greater things ahead.As an Angami, I know that deep in the hearts of my people, we are genuinely and profoundly grateful to all our Naga people wherever they are, far or near, big or small, deceased or alive, who initially rallied around the leadership of the Angamis for the take-off of our movement and for onward transmission of our struggle to the rest of the world. I personally feel that, moving with the tides of life, it is appropriate to now rally in unison around the present day leaderships of Nagas in India and Burma (Myanmar) for growth of our Movement towards full fruition.
The general public who are not negotiators (FNR, NCF, NH, including state government and all NGOs, etc) have been playing their supporting roles on behalf of the mass to facilitate the process of dialogue and negotiation. Why not all NPGs join hands now to make it more lively and effective? Let’s make our national stand more important, more urgent and far greater than tribal or factional interest. It’s time to seize the day “carpe diem” in joint efforts and make our Naga story and song more sweet and beautiful in UNISON.
