The Naga Peoples Movement for Human Rights congratulates the supreme commander of the Indian armed forces, Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, in the form of his personal attendance and concern, at the recently concluded conference under the theme “Combat HIV/AIDS: A Uniformed Intervention,” held at Shillong from 23-24 September, 2005, which puts into perspective the massive spread of HIV/AIDS amongst the Indian military and para-military forces, operating proxy wars in the so-styled ‘north-east’, and for recognizing the fact that the Indian war machines are indulging, encouraging, and abetting virulent fornication and sexual exploitations with our local girls, wherever they are posted.
While noting with deep concern over the differential causations of abuses on the fairer sex, the Naga Peoples Movement for Human Rights takes serious note of the health trends and socio-cultural predicaments amongst the civil population in a militarized condition.
We also express deep resentment over the Indian media system, commenting on their Presidential address, which attempts to portray the war-waged population as the nectar of immoralities, as the breeding axis of evilness, as the pathological site for transmutation of deadly diseases to their otherwise gentlemanly war machines (sic!).
NPMHR notes with caution that such malicious representation of brute forces as innocent flowers of peace draws parallel with the cheap American propaganda, in marginalizing the oppressed peoples – wherein the Cuban government has been maligned as smuggling the most beautiful HIV/AIDS-infected girls offshore to flirt with as much American citizens as possible.
We call upon all concerned Naga population in particular and our neighbouring nationalities to be wary of the ploy, deceit, and modus operandi under which overt and subvert desecration of our girls and mothers is being initiated, to satisfy the sadistic and masculine lust, in our times of war frustration.
We do not approve at all the so-called military canteens catering to civilian needs, which have become the locality for entrapment, lure, and quick money transactions.
The NPMHR also recollects the one internationalized incident where a Naga girl was continuously raped and violated of her decency by the Indian war machine, in a rural outpost, by luring her vulnerably with free medicines for her sick mother.
We strongly resist the proximity waged between the civil and military population by the latter, for war definitions, and protest illustration of an idea of that friendship can be purchased through compunctions or reifications.
