#Nagaland: Story behind, according to ground level information about the brutal massacre in Mon district || 17 villagers were brutally massacred by the Indian Army but govt says "Probe", the centre says "condolences" and Army says "Regrets" - but no statements on accountability and punishing the murderers. Let's check the ground level information that happened on the 4th evening at the massacre site: The incident took place on the night of 4th December where the six Villagers from Oting Village who were heading back home from coal mining work at Tiru in a Pickup mini-truck were ambushed and killed by the Indian Army mistaking them for militants. They were unarmed and possessed no hint to be mistaken for militants but were murdered in cold blood. On hearing the gunshots, the village youths rushed to the spot being apprehensive given that, the individuals didn't return home from work, only to find the mini-truck and the Indian Army trying to hide the dead bodies of the six individuals by wrapping and loading them in their truck. It was reported that they tried to act normal and some even put stuff above the dead bodies and even sat on it to avoid suspicion. The remains of blood from the mini-truck was also attempted to hide by putting sand in it. This indicates that their intention to hide the blunder made by them. Upon seeing the sceptical situation there, the village youths who appeared in the incident site searched the truck and found the dead bodies after which the violence broke out between the villagers and the army. The villagers burnt down the trucks of the army and started attacking them with Dao and the machete they were carrying with them. Had they carried the locally made guns, the situation would have been even worse for both sides. However, in retaliation to the attack by the villagers, the Army fired upon the villagers which led to the death of more individuals altogether 13 already and several left seriously injured. There are still some individuals missing in the jungle and their whereabouts are yet to be ascertained as to whether they are even alive or dead. [Today, 2 more were killed in the discriminate firing by the Assam Rifles/ Indian Army and the death toll rises to 17 now.]

[@priyanshupandey2670]

We are sorry for that bro from deep of my heart I know I can't do anything but condolences but if this is not probed this can may happen in mainland and yes I agree with you a lot coz operational procedures of ci operation of IA says you have to ask to surrender before firing on them and until you don't receive fire from that side you shouldn't fire on them this maybe due to some mental officers leading them...

You are right about the factor leading to the formation of NSCN (IM) but the Shillong accord was not condemned convincingly by Phizo. In fact his younger brother were one of the representatives that signed the accord. Isak & Muivah (IM) requested many leaders including Phizo to condemned the accord but he remained silent. Perhaps Phizo already knew about the inevitable outcome. He never come back to nagaland & remained in London till his death.

Cause in Saikhuma's prophecy before he died in 1965, he has connections with a strange natural being of in 1962-1965. In the prophecy, he has already prophesies many things about the future of Mizoram. For example: The Mizo revolt, the Indian Union, Kaladan Multimodal Project, the reason why oil cannot be extracted from the grounds of Mizoram, the Indo-China war to happen in the future.😂😂. I will tell you one of his prophecy, '' From the East, I saw a ferocious, barbaric tribe coming and saw them eating everything, but the ones who believe in God, do not be scared of them, for they are the key to your freedom''. Also one similar prophecy, '' I will let the tribes near you fight and shifted you out, for this is how the Lord save his people''. '' As long as Mizoram is in the hands of a ten hand statue, God will never allow for you guys to search for the Hidden treasures''. '' This is not the time to cry nor this is the time to laugh''. ''Pendant!Pendant!''. We Mizo called all of these prophecy as '' Thimthuahhnih'' meaning the second covering of darkness. The first ''Thimthuahkhat'' has already happened in 1966-1975 which he prophesies in 1962-1965 before he died and yeah many of us suffer a lot. I wonder how dark and painful it will be when the time of Thimthuahhnih comes. And all of it came true. During those times we Mizo laugh at him and even spit on him but now some of us Mizo can see that he was not a psychopath at all. The Prophecy of 'Saisihchhuah' is very near. Maybe in 2023. All these act East policy are not just a coincidence but was already planned long time ago by God is some of us Mizo just see it now. 😀😀. I sound like a coward. 😂😂

The Eastern Nagas were never under the rule of the Britishers and was free up to the stage when India got its Independence. It was only in the year 1948, a year after India achieved independence that it came under the control of India and was placed under the External Affairs Ministry. After the statehood, Tuensang was not under Nagaland State Assembly but Tuensang had Regional Council for 10 years (1963-74) and till that time Nagaland State was kept under External affairs. The Tuensang District also participated in the Indian election for the first time. After the state election of 1974, Nagaland state was brough under Ministry of Home Affairs.

In the aftermath it will come out as a mistake and case of mistaken identity by the security forces. The credibility of the entire security forces is at question. How can you expect a force that relies on unconfirmed information or acting on their own volition and killing innocent civilians to protect the whole country.

As far as I know in 1966-1971,during the time when the MNF(Mizo National Front) have revolted against the Indian government, 400 Mizo civilians were killed, many of our men were beaten up to dead and many women have been raped and murdered by the Indian soldiers and many people are missing till this day. And the worst part, they use Jet Fighters on innocent Mizo civilians who doesn't even have any connections with the MNF in Aizawl and the Central Officials even said on the news, '' We don't want the Mizo people, we only want the land'', and even Morarji Desai said, '' All those Mizo people should be shifted to the hot deserts of Rajasthan'', Indira Gandhi too said, '' We drop ration'' by which she means bombing. Looking back at all those dark past, it's hard for us many Mizo to suppress our anger. Not only for us Mizo, but I think for some of the Nagas too. Back in those days, the only reason the MNA surrendered is because of the Church and the Mizo students,people who are born in 1950s are still in pain.But what can we do anyway. After all, we are a minority whose future is full of dangers. Right now, many more Bangladeshi immigrants, not only Bangladeshi immigrants, but some Bengali Hindus too are overpopulating us. If the Government of India wants us to always remain in the Indian Union, they should take actions as quickly as possible to prevent the upcoming revolution to happen. History is History, people may say, but if you guys are not the victim, you will not know how it feels.

[@shubhamsagarsingh9451]

Indian army raped and killed en masse? Are you being serious?

[@atharvzemse6599]

You know your history but you don't know history of formation of Maharashtra. If maharastrian's would have picked guns in 1950s today Maharashtra would have been a country but our leader and people knew that we will be more prosperous with resources from the rest of india and rather then picking guns our people conducted peaceful protest for establishing state of Maharashtra. Still hundreds were martyred during the peaceful protest. Today Maharashtra is no1 in economic and infrastructure in whole india. But look at north-east. You people think indians as only UP, Biharis, Assamese, Bengalese and Punjabis. Plus if you listen speech of phizo you will notice superiority complex in him. He call indians 'black' which clearly tells us that he didn't know anything about india and indians. Pakistan and Chinese were architect's of these all insurgency's. One thing you should accept Naga's and mizo's picked the guns first and then union retaliated. There was no reason to for separating from union. It was just greed of power of few peoples which resulted in deaths of thousands. Even today some people say they are forced indians. Which I think says a lot about both Mizoram and Nagaland. Literate people with less thinking abilities.

[@Mark___933]

@@shubhamsagarsingh9451 It happened back in the days although the documentation of such incidents are lacking because of our calm attitude. We are not the type of people who cry over spilled milk. So we have a tendency to just forgive, forget and move on. Instances such as the indiscriminate bombing by the Indian Air Force over Aizawl city are promptly forgotten by the Mizos because we don’t want to unnecessarily go back in history and open old wounds. You should read about the Indian Army’s strategy of the collectivisation of villages and interning the civilian population. I’ve also heard from the older generation about many instances of rape but we are too polite as a society to interview the victims and infringe on their privacy. So we just move on and forget.

[@ruatapachuauruatapachuau9116]

@@shubhamsagarsingh9451 See!! I know you guys are going to reply like this. Saying, '' Are you being serious''. I will tell you 'This is all the Truth' . Go ask the Nagas, if the Indian Soldiers have killed their Forefathers or not, have they raped their women. The answer is 'Yes'. FYI, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Mizoram, etc would never have been a state if there wasn't any insurgency. FYI, there were more than 10 Insurgents groups in the North East before 2000. We Northeast Indians didn't join the Indian Union because of our own will. It is because of the brutality of the Indian soldiers and government. Sikkim was also forcefully annexed by the Indian Soldiers.

[@STJAMES-nm3zq]

Thanks for doing an amazing homework, however there is a very important and most crucial reason why the insurgency could not really die till today in Nagaland Or NE in general and in part why this protracted negotiations: 1. It's important for everyone to know what a tribal people thinks,what are the things closest to their heart and intertwined with their way of life. And remember North East tribal are not like Mainland tribals either by looks Or mindset as in N.E. they are in total control of their own land Or State since the time of their forefathers(People due to their ignorance clubbed them like mainland Indian tribal which is totally so wrong. Example in Nagaland,Nagas are the administrators of their own state, everything is run by the Nagas themselves whether the state Police,judicial, etc2 from top to bottom)Therefore,the nagas being a tribal ' LAND,RELIGION and IDENTITY ( culture) are of utmost important. Until these 3 things are not in their hands or they feel that they're not gonna be given full rights as per their satisfaction long term solution will be difficult. 2.Nagas are diverse, you have pointed out correctly,but the tribal blood relations amongst them as a NAGA is too strong which is unbreakable, inspite of such difference. So, why!! Refer the above ( Land, Religion & Identity) to get your answer. These 3 things again binds them together at the end.

[@jadeemperor1616]

Very well researched and a great speaker. However, I am a little discontented because of no mention of the atrocities face by the Nagas. Our grandparents and parents still live to tell the story of brutal crimes and acts committed by the Indian army. The rapes in our churches, maiming and murdering the innocent, burning villages are just excerpts of the hell faced by our forefathers and elders. Even if Nagaland becomes a sovereign nation or not; the cries of the innocent souls will always echo in our lands and hills, it will be forever etched in our hearts.

[@johnweak7917]

Exactly! Why are those stories never discussed? Is it propaganda on the part of GOI or are the people who make these presentations afraid to be called "anti nationals" or do they simply not know the truth? only a number of us Naga millennials who've read books by some esteemed Naga writers and/or heard oral tales from our elders know about those atrocities meted out to our forefathers by the Indian army. While the rest, such as most Gen Z Nagas and even a number of millennial Nagas would be thanking these presentors for their biased reports and stories . Smh!
