lest we forget - september 6, 1960

[@knicokire]

This kind of video should be pictured in all school and colleges..... Let the present generation who are lost know the past...

[@erhopo5171]

My paternal grandparents were killed in this massacre. How can we ever forget the brutality? Indian Army never extended any apology either. For as long as we live, this memory will always stay with us.

[@kaggie2m]

Just teared up, I can literally feel the pain in their voices. Thank you for doing this. It is not to carry the pain in our chest but it is important to let the truth be heard.

[@hokitoayemi1008]

The song sung by the narrator in the end gives me Goosebumps. It's in Sümi dialect and the song is all about tribute to the village. No amount of good act can justify the suffering, pain and agony our forefathers had to go through during these period of time. It's heartbreaking for real. 💔

[@dipankarmitra7923]

The story is very painful.Heads off to the Naga peoples who didn't bowed in front of uneducated Indian Army who killed lots of innocent Naga Peoples uselessly.I'm from Golaghat of Assam.RIP to the peoples who died in that incident🙏.We will miss you always😢😢😢.You guys are warrior and always will be.Lots of love and respect to Naga manu khaan ❤ Jai Aai Axom Jai Aai North East ❤

Didn't evn knew this things happen

[@badennoklang2748]

Visited Mathikhrü this summer for my internship. Who knew such a beautiful and innocent village would carry such a dark sided story. I really respect the women folks who survived the attack that day and braved themselves to rebuild the village which famously stands today telling the stories of one that showed true patriotism and much courage faced before the giants by the innocent men folks. I was very pleased and honoured to meet the people out there who wore a big smile as they welcome us, kind souls, very much God-fearing, humility and the face that reflected the true spirit of courage and never giving up! God bless the people of Mathikhrü village and to all the people of Pochury, your stories that left a legacy and sacrifice you bore will continue to live on throughout the ages. Kuknalim!

[@lalachila_24]

Tears just can't stop rolling down watching this video from the beginning till the end. Learning how our great grandparents suffered and sacrificed for our nation makes me feel proud to be a Naga. These stories shall remain forever and deserves to be heard by every younger generation so that they will know how our great grandparents endured the pain.

[@mobilelegendsbangbang12942]

We r not a nation, we are a state of india

and I remembered another recent genocide of Nagas by Indian Army but government never took any action against these heinous brutality ...North-east has suffered enough when will they get justice for everything..praying and supporting from Nepal 🇳🇵

[@lushetohesso1128]

Cannot hold back the tears. My young ones always remember we are indians not by choice but by circumstances. Forgive but don't ever forget.

[@livitostuccu]

It teared me down after watching this. Job well done to the team for bringing forth such a knowledgeable message. May we all have the courage to preserve our Naga traditions that call upon each of us to fight for justice. And may we inherit the tongues of those who died crying for justice for our better today. Always a proud Naga, yesterday, today and tomorrow ❤️

[@Appe_m]

Matikhrü is a Chakhesang (Khezha) speaking village under Pochury Tribe. After the 6th September horror, many other neighbouring villages came in to built the village together. Today, it speaks both Pochury and Chakhesang dialect.

[@alexjurry537]

The shooting down of Dakota plane at Phor is one of the Nagas most important documentation in contribution of Pochury share in the struggle for Naga Sovereignty and Independence and the ultimate result of which was the massacre of Matikhrü village and attainment of Peace in Nagaland. Today, the people of Pochury gather at Matikhrü and observe "Black Day" in remembrance of our martyrs, let every generations to come know how much the people of Pochury has passed through the worst phase of Nagas struggle for Sovereignty and Independence.

There are no words to express to say thank you, TakeOne Nagaland. May this documentary bring peace and unity to our Nagas.

[@lanutzudir4978]

Thank you Take One for documenting such painful but much needed stories. I had vaguely heard about the atrocities committed against the people of Matikhru, but I was not aware of such harrowing and painful details. Such fine storytelling, editing, cinematography, just everything! I also love how your team dedicated the video to the mothers. I can only imagine the trauma the survivors must have gone through.

[@warriorchief8897]

My Grandfather and Grandmother are still alive, as a living legend and knows A-Z about Matikhrü massacre, me a grandson will never ever erase the cruelty and barbarian act upon Naga's

[@aboliswu1162]

It pains my heart to hear them 😢 my maternal grandpa too died cos of army 's torture 😢. Thank you to the team of Take One for bringing out the untold stories of the bravehearts of our LAND. The song at the end was a shocking reveal to me as a sumi💔 May the brave souls rest in eternal. peace💐

[@yirmiyanarthur4772]

Thank you Sesi and team! Hearing first-hand account from survivors make such a big difference even as we struggle to find new ways to carry the Naga story forward. Your commitment shows through and through. I feel indebted in a strange sort of way. Thank you ❤

[@verdansk4761]

Have our freedom fighters forgotten about these incidents? The real FFs were fighting for justice and freedom. Alas! All we have now are goons bringing menace to our own kind and killing our own brethren. To the unborn ones who had died in your mothers' wombs , I'm sorry you never got to live the beautiful lives you were meant to live. I'm sure your mothers fought and bore the kicks and brunts till the end. To the helpless men, I'm sorry you had to face such humiliations. You were all warriors and great men. To the girls and women, the blood stains on your beautiful petals can never be wiped clean. I'm sorry, you had to go through all this. These narrations make even the toughest of men cry. To all the victims of this merciless tortures and massacres, you never deserved this cruelty. Rest, hush now, depart in peace, dearest men and women, the littles ones and the unborn angels.

[@nimok3965]

It really pains my heart to know about the inhumane ordeal they had to go through. But, what is even more dismaying is the present freedom fighters who have derailed and altered the essence of our political struggle laid by our forefathers , I.e complete sovereignty from the Indian union. With the passage of time, our present freedom fighters have become a victim of the foxy policy of the Indian govt., even willing to trade our rights for monetary gains and status. I hope this type of video will awaken our national workers once again from their nonchalant approach. Thank you, Take one, for making our history alive. Also, forget about our govt., but how nice it'd be if those well-to-do citizens or politicians around the area can come together and initiate to make this village a historical tourism oriented village for the Naga struggle, because they deserved it. The struggle and ordeal they went though may just be the tip of the iceberg, and for which we Nagas should come together in upholding and respecting them.

An unimaginable pain and suffering has our elders endured. Their undying sacrifice for us younger generation is incomparable, we as younger generation must never forget and let go the struggle and sacrifices made. We mustn't let the flame die, together we should make a change and raise, divided we can never accomplish. We are called Nagas with all the tribes counted together. A high time for our leaders to come under one umbrella and work together.

@@mobilelegendsbangbang12942 Educating the young generations of today using varied platforms and sharing the stories about the horrors and traumatic experiences faced by our people isn't something useless. Forgive but never forget becoz it helps people to remember, learn and grow from it not to ever repeat the same thing.You seemed devoid of empathy,even animals feels empathy towards their own kind. If you have problems with such Facts or videos,never ever use social platforms again, there's a time, place and limit for everything,do not show your shallowness,toxicness and negativity to the world! And especially don't ever forget this though you don't have empathy for people suffering traumas,hope your loved ones doesn't experience horrific things done to them and when people say such negative things to you, don't mind the traumas faced by your loved ones just ignore their pains and keep on the negativity which you're already full of it!
