The answer to who is from Nagaland state territory and who is not is a serious political matter than just a simple question. This decides who and who do not for Nagaland. In political matters it is only the citizens of the territory that decides the political matter of the territory and not by others.
A Naga village has no say in the affairs of another village. One Naga tribe has no say in the affairs of another tribe. Arunachal has no say in political affairs of Assam and Manipur cannot decide for Nagaland or vice versa. In political matters, it is the State itself who decides and no other.
The Naga Hills formed the Naga National Council (NNC in 1946) based on the democratic Principle of Non-Violence for the Pan Naga Tribes of the Northeast India and of Burma.
Initially Tuensang-Mon Area was not in Naga Hills, it was in the Northeast Frontier Agency, and the NNC cannot decide for the Area. Mr. Phizo met the Leaders of Tuensang Area and persuaded them to join the NNC. Mr. Thongdi Chang brought the Tuensang Area to NNC and together formed the Federal Government of Nagaland.
The Konyaks did not initially join the NNC, they decided for themselves in matters of politics. NNC sent Mr. Imnaonen the General Secretary as its envoy to the Konyaks. 9 Principal Konyak Anghs and Escorts of about 40 with muzzle loading guns discussed the matter through Thanwang of Tamlu, the first educated Konyak in early 1950s. Finally after 4 days of intense discussion in the Ponkong Jungles, the Angh of Mon as the representative of the Konyaks, with Konyak ceremonial daoh and great force cut the sharp edge of another similar ceremonial daoh the General Secretary was made to hold. Dents were made at the cutting edges of both the daohs and Mon Angh solemnly declared “until the dents in the Daohs disappear, the Konyaks will be land animal if the NNC is land Animal, and if the NNC is water animal, the Konyaks will be water animal”.
Mr. Khaplang, the principal leader of the Naga of Burma said some time ago that NNC and the Plebiscite was for Nagaland only though practically Khaplang worked for the NNC until Muivah created the rival National Socialist Council of Nagaland in 1980.
The NNC was for Pan Naga of the Northeast and Burma. The Organization included any Naga Community joining it democratically.
The Tuensang-Mon Area ultimately joined the Naga National Council and the State of Nagaland in early 1950s. Muivah joined the NNC around middle 1960s and became the General Secretary of the NNC in 1965. He was democratically elected and had he remained, he would have a right in the Decision Making Body of the NNC.
But Muivah fearfully and violently created a separate National Socialist Council of Nagaland –NSCN- with Barrel of the Gun in opposition to the NNC.
One Naga State cannot become the common Naga Territory of all the Naga Tribes, just because the people are all Naga. Even wild animals have different territories and one of one territory cannot stray into the other. A family of Lion or Tiger or a pack of wild dogs do not stray into each other Territory.
Muivah’s has rebelled out of NNC territory, he has no say in the political affairs of Nagaland State territory.
This is political principle of all mankind of all the continents of the world. Britain does not accept European Union to decide for Britain, so it has democratically separated out from the EU. France, Italy may likely follow.
Nagaland does not object to any Naga from any other State coming and living in Nagaland but it would not accept other State to decide for the state political matters. The Parliament of India even does not interfere in the customary traditional practices of Nagaland.
The territorial limit of a State is very serious matter; nobody on his own has the power to integrate or disintegrate State Territories.
Any Community declaring itself Naga peaceably is Naga. Muivah is Naga from Manipur and can have a say for that State bue not for Nagaland. The NSCN of Muivah claim:
I. All lands of Nagaland are National Land, II. All minerals of Nagaland belongs to NSCN Government III. The institution he would form -Pan Naga Hoho would govern Nagaland IV. Divided Nagaland Citizens into Permanent and Non-permanent Classes V. Imposed Tax on the territory of Nagaland VI. GoI has given Sovereignty power to IM to integrate all Naga Areas of the northeast into Nagalim. Shri. Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of India has publicly refuted Muivah’s claim as “blatant lie”!
It is very uncomfortable, even shameful for the Naga to hear Statement of IM Leader described as a ‘blatant lie’ by the Prime Minister of a great Country India.
Mr. RN Ravi the Interlocutor between India and the NSCN (IM), said on 25 March 2017, (quoted)
“I have signed the Framework Agreement on behalf of the Government of India and I know everything in detail of it. There is nothing about touching the territorial Integrity of any State”.
The Home Minister of India Rajnath Singh immediately refuted Muivah’s claim as “erroneous”
Yet, General Secretary is bewitching Nagaland with false political claims and statements, his MIP instead of clarifying the ‘erroneous’ political statement and ‘blatant lies’ has made racists and defamatory Statements challengeable in the Court.
It is bewildering as to how Nagaland has so completely been bewitched by a fake democrat, un-trustable violent person and a man whose hand is dirty with innocent blood.
Nagaland seemed to have been blinded with its own stubborn self-righteous national political arrogance. It seems to have become so dependent and defensive in its political outlook that it appears naively unbalanced.
