Nagas, Integration and Identities
Morung Express Editorial | Oct 7
The integration of the Naga homeland, divided at present by manmade boundaries, has been part and parcel of Naga political consciousness right from the time of the Naga National Council when the Naga movement took an organized form.
There is the ENPO, then the Tenyimi bloc and recently those tribes left out of this two grouping have come together to forge a common understanding through SARK.
Some of us may be aware that in the early 1980’s the Zeliangrong people of Assam, Manipur and Nagaland had started a movement for creation of Zeliangrong homeland to be carved out of Assam, Manipur and Nagaland. They came close to getting this from the Government of India.
Going by recent events in Naga society, this newspaper is concerned if this demand is revived and thereby making it all but clear that instead of integration we will see the balkanization of the Nagas into groupings and who knows eventually end up as separate States. This should be our greatest fear unless better sense prevails among the Nagas, the future looks ominous.
