Northeast Echoes: Naga youth get pragmatic
The Telegraph | Patricia Mukhim | Dec 2
It is encouraging to note that a growing population of Nagas living outside Nagaland and outside India feels that it’s time to break the silence and the denial about the enigma surrounding the peace talks. They are tired of the illusion that Nagalim would free them from all the ills inflicted by India. Not that the Nagas are unaware of the power games played in Delhi vis-à-vis the peace talks. They are smart thinkers and are as wise as the Chanakyas of Indian stagecraft. However, they are waiting and watching. At the moment the Naga youths are more interested in checking the rampant corruption and breakdown in governance.
However, this does not mean that Nagas have stopped debating about the “peace talks” dilemma. Some are cynical, others still hopeful, but there is greater insight and clarity in the deliberations. At least they seem to have got over those delusional phases such as owning a separate passport and being part of a new country. The peace talks between the NSCN (I-M and K) and the Centre are a fig leaf that is not even covering the shame.
