Kohima ( MExN): President of Mao Council, KH Tasoni, while talking to The Morung Express, asserted that he was positive the predictions made by their forefathers that all Nagas would be finally integrated would definitely come true.
Whatever happened in the past is gone and we can do nothing about it, he said.It is up to the present generation to fulfill what all the Nagas aspire for, he added. He further said that the huge gathering of Nagas from all over was a very encouraging sign and a positive statement for Naga integration.
He expressed that there was no sense of belonging under the Meiteis as they were different from them in every aspect, be it language, culture or in social aspects. He voiced that the Maos discriminated socially and politically by the Meiteis to the extent that they were not even welcome to their hearth.
He asserted that as long as they were under a different government they would not be able to work and build up the society and that the environment is such that it is not congenial for their development.
Another member of the Mao community echoed along the same lines. He stated that it was the wish of all the Mao people that the artificial boundaries be erased.
