Principal Secretary, Retd Nagaland.
The average Americans wanted change of a World that cared only for the Billionaires and the Global Corporate. Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton –the American Presidential Candidates- both promised “CHANGE” for America. However, Americans were tired of the Political & Administrative Bag Pack Hillary Clinton carried. Mr. Trump on the other hand had a clean Slate and most rural Americans and the elderly preferred a clean Slate with no bag pack of past Politics.
Nagaland is tired of the System that caters only to greedy politicians and some ‘self-styled Patriots’ enjoying extorted Tax Money from the Citizens. Nagaland is also fed up of the fear of the Barrel of the Gun on its brow.
No one would oppose CHANGE in Nagaland but the State did not and would not know how to change. Nagaland would prefer someone with a clean political Slate like Trump, but the Society is nowhere near it. Nagaland has become so subservient to the NSCN (IM) Gun Culture that searching for a independently Fearless Free Mind today is like searching for a Needle in a Stack of Rice Stalks. Such a Society is incapable of producing independent Free Mind. All the political VIPs of Nagaland has become like Old Wine turned Sour.
The System of Governance has gone so corrupted that even the Chief Minister with his Cabinet cannot clean it now. It has become like a Forest Fire Hunters have set to flush the Animals out of the Ravine to shoot them as they come out but the Fire has gone too big and wild now that the Hunters themselves alone cannot put it out now.
The State Government does not appear have the sterner Stuff of what it requires to change the System of governance in Nagaland they themselves have corrupted. We have seen them all, all these years: “Mene, Mene, Takel, Parsin”.
It now appears only a strong COLLECTIVE PUBLIC OPINION PRESSURE ALONE can change Nagaland.
Towards this, the FIRST requirement for Nagaland is the creation of a strong collective combined NTC, CNTC, ENPO and other not purchasable NGOs and Tribal Hoho, all strongly supporting the ACAUT.
The ACAUT appears adroit, UNPURCHASABLE, it has criticized Village Councils, tribal Hohos and the Government for flouting the Interest of the Public; it has exposed the misdeeds of the People in Power.
Today, DEMOCRATIC ELECTION alone is the only way to change the old Master in Nagaland. Therefore, the SECOND requirement is to purify the corrupted DEMOCRATIC ELECTION in the State.
Foolishly and naively, the Naga has totally corrupted Democratic Election. The Church and its Organizations preach for Clean Election unceasingly but it does not appear to have the magic wand. The leaders fear to rebuke the devil, the liars, and all kinds of tricksters, the dishonest, and the perverters of justice in the Rich and the Powerful and others. The Church leaders often seem to place maintenance the comfortable position they have with the entire World in a higher priority than the strict dispensation of justice in the Gospel of Christ.
This is particularly because most Pastors in Nagaland are very Young theological lightweight Graduates without Traditional Customary Influence of venerable Elders have in the Society. The young Theologians give beautiful Sermons from the Pulpit but do not have the gut to rebuke the erring Tribal Organizations, Village Councils or the Organizations in the Society gone astray from everything that is right.
One of the greatest weaknesses of the Church for correction of the Naga Society, are its Leader’s inability to deliver hard Justice of the Gospel of Christ. Peter rebuked Anania & Safira and Paul told Elyma the Sorcerer in the Court of the Proconsul in Cyprus at Phaphos -“You are a child of the devil and enemy of every thing that is right. You are full of all kinds of deceit and trickery.” Jesus told Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me”.
Democracy is more precious than the human niceties is in the Church; it is much, much weightier than the Pastor’s Friendliness with his Deacons or his good friendship with the Chairman of the Church Managing Board.
Democracy is the demonstration of the Essence of the Ten Commandments. Democratic Election Rules are extensions of the Ten Commandments. The 11 Apostles of Jesus Christ actually initiated the Modern Secret Casting of Votes for the Election of the 12th Apostle. Democratic Election System grew from the Christian Ethics and Christian Morality. God selects, but humbler Beings like Man Elects from among their own Kind. Election is the Christian Ethos; No Christian worth his Faith dares violate Democratic Election Rules of the Land.
The ACAUT is not out to uproot the NSCN (IM) Government, it is not against any Chief Minister or Politicians in the Government. It is not out to seize the Government in the next Election. The ACAUT is out only to uproot Deceit in the Governance; to expose Liars, Profiteers, the Greedy and correct the Injustice in the Land. Nobody needs fear ACAUT.
Every Citizens or Organizations of Nagaland, Indigenous or not, even with love of beautiful Nagaland as small as a mustard seed, need to support ACAUT if he/she wants Change In Nagaland.
