My dear Countrymen,
We are thankful to Almighty God who has been ever gracious to shower His countless merciful blessings upon Nagaland. I bring greeting to our people on this occasion of 65th year of declaration of our independence since 1947.
I salute all National Workers of the Federal Government of Nagaland, Naga National Council and our people in general for their unfailing support, endurance and sacrifices in upholding our National Right to this day. It is also our bounding call of duty to remember the fore-bearers, seniors, and colleagues who had sacrificed their lives for our Nation. We pay our respect and honor them all, they were our heroes.
Dear fellowmen, with the declaration of Naga independence on 14th August 1947 by the Naga National Council (NNC), 64 years have gone by and generations are passing away, but the dream of A Z Phizo, Father of the Naga Nation remains as fresh in the minds of his people as the foundations of Naga nation are irrefutable and secured in the hands of God.
India, a mighty nation gifted by its foreign rules, in fact a junior nationality, believing on its own military might attempted without success to annex Nagaland. India intruded into Naga territory in 1954 and continued its forced occupation in Nagaland till today. In the course of way with Nagas dragging on for over half a century, destruction in terms of property, wealth and most of all severely damaging the cohesion of Naga social life has been devastating. Even today the question remains ‘will India continue to evade addressing the Indo-Naga conflict humanely’.
Whatever may be the agenda of the enemy or however may the enemy apply its notoriety over Nagaland, we remain one family and hold the same stand ‘URRA UVIE’ our Home Stead is ours, we shall not be cowed down by India’s evil designs. We are not demanding any thing from anyone. Nagas stand in defense of their own Homeland and their right to be a Nation among Nations.
The world today is changing fast where autocracy and suppression are not tolerated as we see in the case of South Sudan, Egypt and others being transformed and replaced with people’s rule. This modern process of the world is not a strange phenomena in Naga social life this was exactly what we are trying to protect and sacrificing through out our generations. We shall distinguish ourselves by living up to the tradition handed down to us through our forefathers.
As we step on into another historic milestone of our National history, I take the opportunity to call Naga citizens to come forward and join hands unequivocally rededicating ourselves in the service for our nation.
It is God’s providence that this year August 14, 2011 Naga Independence Day falls on Sunday, a day of dedication and prayer to God. I am sure many would be having special prayers for Nagaland and god will surely answer with rich blessings.
