Zogam Calling

By Fidel Haupu *

"The spirit of the slained Zou innocent groan for Justice.Is it a delay or denial.???"

Be a conservative, communist, Marxist, liberal or whatever you termed yourself, there's one thing that we have in common - i,e the love for one's community or nation.

Gones are the days that our fore-father courageously fought the British with great vigour, to defend the interest and sovereignty of our community or nation. They neither bow down to the British nor surrender and proved equal to every threat posed to them, thereby the British failed to proved that the sun never set in their empire.

Many instances prove that the fighting spirit or the unity maintained by our fore-father are not inherited to the ancestors. Have they been in the 21st century, the Zou community will be one of the most unified and prosperous society in the world. They have shown the British that the Zous are the Kshatriyas community of the Zo Suante.

Considering the political imbroglio within the Zou community in the light of the present situation, many questions are left yet to answer.

Do are life worthless than others in Manipur??
Why our blood bleeds in vain??
Do we die for no reason??

If the 24th June 1997 Saikul Incident escalated to a full fledged communal tension between the Kukis and Paites(pro-zomi), the 50+ Zou innocent butchered mercilessly during the Kuki-Paite conflict need a fresh attention.

From its inception till the existence of more than 50 years, the Govt of Manipur/India didn't make any confusion between the ZOU/ZOMI.

If Pu Hangkhanpau, Adviser, ZRO failed to make the Government understand about ZOU/ZOMI (United Zomi Organisation), he has to consult his predecessor or if he cannot tackle the problem, owing moral responsibility, he has to resign without surrendering or mortgaging our United Zomi Organisation for 5 years MLA.

Everything has a season and every action has equal and opposite reaction.

If USSR can be disintegerated or the Irish Republican Army succumbed to the pressure of the British government, the present Zomi-Taliban will annihilate themselves in the days to come.

Who has binded us in Zomi-Ideology or ZRA.???

The Government of India and Pakistan make every efforts to heal the wounds and remove the scars of partition through peoples to peoples contact. Therefore it s a high time for the Zomi-Taliban to heal the wounds of 1997 massacre to the Zou peoples.

Before constructing a skyscraper, it is wise to laid a firm foundation, in such away that the Zomi movement has a long way to go, if Justice is denied to the slained Zou innocents, someday, some where in their journey, they will realize and regret the ROAD THEY HAVE NOT TAKEN.

The spirit of more than 50 Zou innocence groan for Justice, are you ready to deliver.????

Under the Zomi-Taliban's rule, where the court summon a person to settle a dispute without giving the right/chance to speak or utter a word, Justice is not only delay but completely denied.

Justice will always be a distance dream if you didn't volunteer yourself to deliver. The blood of our slained brethens calls for Justice, will you deny...????!!!!!
