Mr. Isak Sumi,
I very much appreciate your deep and great concern for the Naga political movement; you have every right and freedom to feel the way you feel about the events in the NNC and its history.
But you have narrated, placing the events in irrational juxtaposition like a surreal art as if it were a fantasy picture in a dreamland. There are Nagas still alive who lived through many of the happenings you narrated and they know you need to recheck your data and the conclusions.
One has to be a lot more sensitive and broad minded in accounting the history of a people while it is put up in the public news media in particular, otherwise one may ignorantly or unintentionally tread into areas angels would fear to tread in.
The Naga is a multi-tribe people and because of our head hunting past or otherwise, we are often wary of each other tribe and because of subtle culture differences; for example: the very positive forthrightness of the Sumis may be mis-construed as hasty headlong move lacking long range diplomatic nicety in the Angami culture.
Examples of your statements needing your rechecking and verification are:
I. T. Aliba did not head Naga club in 1918.
Ii. Imkongliba was not President of NNC.
Iii. In the 1st installment of your write-up, you wrote Kaito Sema was killed by an Angami.
This is a very serious statement and to be credible it must be substantiated with documents, if not it is fraud with great difficulties in some section of the two very important Nagas communities: the Angamis and the Sumis. In any national political organizations of cut-throat seriousness, such casual treatment of very serious unfounded statement must have created tremendous credibility difficulties in the NNC history of the Nagas.
Go on writing your opinion, you have every freedom and right, but be a little sensitive and be with wide verified information, when dealing with sensitive Naga national issues when in the public news media.
