Naga issue was not born out of Muivah and will not die with the death of Atem. Huge Respect😇

[@miximumpop2278]

"Nagas were never part of the Indian Union" "Nagas cannot be equated with other Ethnic Groups in india. Their stories are different " "Nagas cannot sing with the Indians" "Naga political issue is not born with Muivah. And it cannot die with Adem." "They(Indians) create problems for their own creation in Nagaland."

[@JosephTetseo]

Whether it is the Tangkhul's, the Nagas of Manipur, Nagas of Nagaland or Nagas of anywhere.... I believe NSCN IM is negotiating for the best of the Nagas. Let us not always hate a tribe or a group just because they belong from a particular tribe we dont like or a particular faction he dislike. If we are to only look at them from this angle, we will endlessly create only negative energy , opinions or write-ups. Whose TRIBE is so perfect or which faction didn't kill anyone or hasn't killed anybody??? Just because of extreme hate towards a particular tribe, individuals or group... Let us not forget to appreciate the little good things people are doing and engaging for the Nagas. I am from Nagaland and i appreciate any group that stands for the cause of Nagas as a whole and not Nagas of any particular region or state for this is a Naga Cause and not Nagaland State Cause alone.

So you are saying that 24 factions taxes in the name for seperate nation is nothing to you? If you are educated I'm sure you have learned enough example whether this march is really possible, to put it straight J&K whose state is totally in backing by Pakistan the nation and ISIS the world most top and largest terrorist organization could not defend from removing Article 370. Are we even in their league who has that capacity to defend?

[@kaikhasapriina862]

Salute to Sir Atem the Naga Leader. Nagas can live with the Indians as good neighbour but not under suppression. Nagas are not Indians and Indians are not Nagas. Nagas are not asking a for land or sovereignty from India. The Nagas are asking India to leave the Nagas alone. The insanity of factionalism is the brainchild of the enemy who wanted the Nagas to weaken each other internally.

[@lisemongzaza2924]

Nagas were divided into 5 parts including Nagaland: :1) Nagas of Nagaland. 2) Nagas of Manipur. 3) Nagas of Burma 4) Nagas of Arunachal Pradesh. 5) Nagas of Assam. If those nagas are still united as one and fighting under one umbrella. We may achieve our common goal:Naga Soveriegn Independent Nation from UNO.

[@Uff1234]

Mr. Deputy, we get that NSCN are fighting for Naga independence which is a worthy cause. But could you please tell your workers not to go around intimidating people (especially elections with armed gunmen inside the polling stations threatening voters to choose NPF candidates)? Can we also expect NSCN members not to ask for money in the name of their cause? You shouldn't force people to believe in or follow something just because it is considered to be in the interests of the community.

[@khenotosumi195]

Boldly said

[@musicheals.3997]

I agree with the election thing but about the collection of money, it will not be possible to run the organisation without financial support from the citizens like how a country implement taxes in all fields. The problem is about the misuse of the funds. I agree they need finance to run the govt. but they should utilise it for the betterment of the nation or the people and not for the personal or individual benefits.

[@Uff1234]

@@musicheals.3997 You can request people to help but you can't force them to fork out a certain amount each month or in the case of richer folks a big sum as and when these guys want. While others are struggling to pay them, the NSCN members send their siblings or children for education outside the state with people's money. More importantly, we should be looking at what kind of people join NSCN or other such organisations? In most cases, we find that it's the ones who are not good at studies and therefore do not want to continue doing so. They know then they will not find suitable jobs with good money. But if they become part of such a movement, it gives them easy money. Another reason is a lot of them want to feel powerful and weapons give them this false sense of being in charge. How else do you explain so many people with guns walking around like they own the world? Take away their guns and they will stop acting like thugs. Does that mean I don't support the independence movement? I would very much like to have a unified independent Nagaland but we have to be smart and practical about it. First, we are not even united. Nagaland Nagas look down on Manipur Nagas. Second, our people are lazy and materialistic. We are invested in looks and fashion but we have zero brains and we aren't willing to work hard. Some people in India don't even know we exist. We can't even compete with Indians. How are we going to make a mark in the world? Third, after we get independence, what's the plan? Who will be the PM, President or ministers? Are they going to be elected or selected fairly or from the NSCN cohort? If it is the latter which they might feel entitled to, how can they assure us they deserve it? Like I mentioned earlier, most of them are dropouts and power hungry. Look at Punjabis and Gujjus. They are settled in many other countries and they have managed to become such powerful and Influential communities through hard work and unity. Why don't we achieve that first?

[@Uff1234]

​@@musicheals.3997 While I agree they need money to fund the cause, but it should be the people's discretion whether they want to contribute or not.

[@ngullieom5460]

Reportedly the NSCN never take money from GOI to meet its expenses including expenses incurred in the Talks. Whereas it is the only organization which is steadfast and firmly engaged in the political negotiations. If NSCN fails due to non co-operations of the people in matters of aiding in funds, then the Nagas will become like slaves under the outsiders. We must overcome through unity and respects. Kuknalim

[@themanfromnowhere8301]

Until and unless our leaders unite and forgive eachother... Nothing will work out that's for sure. How can we expect solution when our kitchen are all mess up. Our leaders need to keep their difference aside and workout out to unite first. I tell you it will take another century to settle the issue if we don't unite. I'm afraid if the present trend continue the naga issue will just disappear in thin air. with the younger generation coming up our patriotism also seems to be getting colder and colder.

[@KiHosaHosa]

You seem to be an intellectual person. Please do not encourage those factions formers and followers. They are nothing but an extravagant for the people of Nagaland.
