Peter Kholi
Silence does not mean to say, yes I betrayed Jesus. Silence is a secret weapon that strikes you hard to speak out the truth in itself. Your implications and allegations is not a victory. Your knowledge and intelligences is not a wisdom. Your imaginations and suspicious is not a vision. You cannot order your fellow country-men to jump into the ocean unless you have guaranteed the danger of not getting drown. How righteous and honest you may think and act to transform the devils life, it will only invite the infamous omens promising you to a hell of fire and blood. The most depriving and disastrous life of devil was when Jesus underwent fasting for 40 days.
Let Naga leaders don’t eat away the One and Only unique History by claiming your historical rights always without doing your responsibilities to protect your unique political history. This political history has made Nagas so common and so unique as compared to rest of the Indian states. Such unique political history came into existence because our forefathers could not withstand the inhuman treatment melted upon by the main land India. So the only alternative way was to defect/ stay away from the Union of India to revolt against and be free. But, today our Naga society is witnessing and experiencing rising birth rate of multiple Nationalist Groups, Politicians, Churches and Civil Organizations entitled with branded names which are universally accepted as quick fix reformation, unification, Accords Accepted, not accepted Accords, No.1.2 People’s front, support groups and at last dilemma groups within. May be our Naga leaders were trying to avoid failures. So they came up with an idea of conspiring, just to confuse and to feel oneself partially satisfied by condemning from the very Group or organization you just defected to form another. Instead of forming another new self-style National group or Organization it was far better to defect to safe guard common people’s interest. The ugliest part is you feel satisfied or disappointed on the pretext that the other opponent is gaining or losing support. At this point defection is something that gives you a freedom to decide whom to choose or something that you overcome dishonor and disrespect. It depends on the individuals on what terms and conditions they defected. With free cease fire packages by the GOI also played a vital role, some had formed for power and greed and some for recognitions and some for real Naga people. It is a best opportune time for the common people to decide who is for the people and who rejects people’s wishes and who just seat ideal acting as lawyers? Because throwing stones in the air will just destroy neighbor’s property because it just falls back again.
You cannot expect everything to come in our own ways. And you cannot expect everything from God too, 99% should come through your perspirations and remaining expect inspirations from God. When you are a true leader your life is like a tree which bears much fruit. Some will try to cut down the branches, some even the whole tree. You may be called in any manner but remember you are like the waters that flows deep beneath the ocean that makes the ocean so deep and big in the surface. To work for peace, unity is not so easy, it is like a humble work to enter the Kingdom of God leaving all your comforts behind. You cannot please everyone to follow. You cannot always stop and throw stones to very dog that barks. Even God was not able to convince His own creations to convert rather they rejected, betrayed and crucified but, salvation was given to all Mankind.
Heaven is an open Door Policy for us all. You don’t need to consult with Hindus nor needs a Muslim consultant. Noah Ark was built to safe God’s own creations but it reads that only those who entered the ark was safe and then new world was born. God might have already chosen a Leader for Nagas but even forbids to speak it out through prophets because of our evil intensions. Let our Naga leaders not fail today to lubricate God tomorrow with fasting and prayer of repentance. We have consecutively failed His wisdom for Free Naga Homeland and subsequently with all Agreements. To decide the fate of Nagas one does not need a certificates of approval. If at all Naga political solution is to take place with a condition one after the other then, Nagas should have as many factions as possible. Because the blood in your fathers hand is also the same blood that flows in you. Avoidable media wars and blame game has become so popular which does not serve any purpose. So, instead of opening up a Pandora box, the Naga leaders at different levels should willingly accept the responsibilities to contribute more ideas and suggestions in the interest of the common Naga people. Just do your best to bring what is best for the common Naga people. Let the walls of dis-unity within fall, and let the cocoon of hatred and revenge suffer.
