At the outset, the Federal Government of Nagaland (FGN) welcomes you to Nagaland, while rejecting and condemning India's showcasing Nagaland as part of India. Nagaland went through aggression by India in 1955. Since then Nagaland has been under forced Indian occupation. Given below is an overview of the genesis and chronology of the independent history of Nagaland.
1. Nagas are not Indians and Naga territories are not Indian territories. In the pre-colonial era, these two entities had no connections whatsoever. The colonial rule in South East Asia exposed Nagas to Indians and vice versa.
2. Based on that historical fact, the Nagas submitted a memorandum to the Statutory Commission for India headed by John Simon (Simon Commission) in 1929 by the Naga Club. The memorandum rejected the new reformed scheme for India and asserted for pre-colonial independent status as our future.
3. The Naga National Council (NNC), (the lone authentic Naga political institution established on February 2, 1946), declared the independence of Nagaland on 14th August 1947, a day ahead of India's independence. The formal declaration was necessitated to assert our position as an independent entity, entirely separate from India and Burma (Myanmar).
4. The NNC conducted a national plebiscite on May 16, 1951. The result was a resounding 99.9% to remain independent. This plebiscite ratified the independence declaration.
5. The Nagas under the leadership and guidance of NNC rejected the republic of India's first parliamentary election held in 1952. No Naga cast his/her vote as the Nagas were not Indian electorates. Even in 1957, the republic of India made another desperate attempt to impose her election on Nagas, but Nagas rejected again.
6. The Government of India having failed to apply her constitutional machinery in the form of election for two successive times had concluded that the Nagas could not be subdued by imposing its Constitution, thereby India resorted to military aggression. And the aggression started in 1954 and it turned into total onslaught by 1955.
7. In order to defend the sovereignty of Nagaland from aggression, the NNC established the Federal Government of Nagaland on March 22, 1956. An undeclared war ensued between India and Nagaland. The Indian military atrocities caused much sufferings beyond human imagination. Several draconian laws were imposed in Naga territories of which, the Armed Forces (Special) Powers Act, 1958 (AFSPA) is still in operation in some parts of Naga territories.
8. In 1960, the Government of India signed a Sixteen Point Agreement with some self-representing non-players under the name, the Naga People's Convention. This political agreement was signed on the pretext of ending human sufferings on both sides. In reality, the agreement was the best instrument to cover the Indian war crimes on Nagas. The agreement begets the puppet state of Nagaland in the Union of India. The Federal government of Nagaland had nothing to do with the creation of the state and its puppet state government.
9. The creation of the state of Nagaland failed to end the war with the Nagas. Thereby, on September 6, 1964, the Government of India (GoI) and the Federal Government of Nagaland (FGN) signed the Ceasefire agreement as equals regardless of size. By universal convention, it nullified the so-called Sixteen Point agreement and its by-product, the state of Nagaland in the Union of India. Since 1964, the Federal Government of Nagaland has honored the peace agreement and pursuing the Indo-Naga conflict peacefully in consonance with NNC's non-violence policy. Regrettably, the Gol has not withdrawn her military from Nagaland.
10. The host of B-20 delegates of G20 member countries summit in Kohima is the puppet state government of India. The name of our country 'NAGALAND' was coined by the NNC under the legendary leadership of the then NNC President, AZ Phizo. Whereas, the signatories of the sixteen point agreement robbed the name to confuse the world
11. Nagaland is under Indian occupation. It has no freedom of its own. Nagas have no liberty to develop Nagaland according to our own genius.
12. The Federal government of Nagaland takes this opportunity to tell Nagaland's suffering under forced occupation to G20 member countries. Everything is not what seems to be. The FGN has been working in every way possible to free Nagaland from forced occupation by India and Myanmar. The FGN appeals to the G20 member countries to prevail upon the Indian government for withdrawal of her armed forces and its administration from Nagaland. So that, the Nagas can shape their own future and develop its country in its own way.
