The Naga dream is not a few men’s hyperbole dream, but it is a dream that could be made into a reality, only if we see it and work for it collectively because the dream itself is real and vast. People usually come into conclusion that since there is no or little change in the society; it would take more time for change to take place. What we don’t understand is that, the reason why there is no change in Nagaland is because we don’t do the right thing and also because we just accept that no one could do the right thing.
If one is to ask what is the ‘Right’ thing? There is no absolute defined concept of right thing; the only right thing out there in the ‘Real’ world is the ‘Reason’ for truth itself. There could be many laws in any society, for the people to meet justice, but after thorough analysis by the intellectual society, it was pointed out that without hard facts, justice could be distorted. Thus it became imperative for the intellectual civilization (western civilizations) to adopt reasoning because no human knows the absolute truth of the universe, but it doesn’t mean that we don’t know what is the ‘Right’ and ‘Wrong’ thing to do in any given circumstances? Even Christian religion teaches us that God acknowledged us the wisdom to tell the right from wrong. Thus in order to guide us to choose the right thing to do, they give themselves to research the truth, so that in the end every one could observe and conclude what the right is, and separate it from the wrong.
There has been many arguments and closure about the reason for the start of Naga cause but in the process, we missed to accept the frailties of the past and to move forward. We only choose to blame the one and the other, we didn’t think to try to resolve our issues and get to the inevitable future, where Nagaland has already been developed and we are extending our hands to other people in the world who are paralyzed as us today. And if one is to question that…this is Nagaland and not USA? Even USA wasn’t always what it was today. They also had their share of ignorance, if we check history, but with reason they choose to move forward with their ‘American dream’.
So are we Nagas ready to take the right course into the future, with reason?
