Supra-State Rumblings
Seven Sisters Post | (Apr 10): :
Many may wonder why home minister P Chidambaram is now silent on the “supra-state body” controversy. But moment the polls are over, the Centre is back with a proposal (again reported only in Seven Sisters Post) that it was offering the NSCN “maximum autonomy with administrative and financial control” over Nagas residing in states adjoining Nagaland.
So, one can see the contours of a developing storm in Northeast, unless the Congress-led UPA government diffuses it by its time-tested delay tactics. The Centre might be using the Naga issue to experiment with a new “maximum autonomy” formula that could not only solve the half a century old Naga problem but could also be a possible answer to all the separate statehood demands from Bodoland to Bundelkhand. Without doubt, this “maximum autonomy” formula will have to step beyond existing constitutional parameters and attempt to work out a new autonomy paradigm for the whole nation.
If India’s lawmakers and the usually routine-serving bureaucracy discovers a new path to address the problems of ever-multiplying statehood demands, the Naga issue could be used as a trial ground for what could stabilise the whole country
