Nagalim Voice May-June 2024
TWO-DAYS POLITICAL AWARENESS PROGRAMME OF NSWON
The National Socialist Women’s Organization of Nagalim (NSWON) was in the spotlight when they arranged a political program to stay abreast of everything about the Naga political issue, including how they can contribute better for the Naga nation. They want to be well-informed and stay educated on the Naga political history, how things went wrong in the hands of the Government of India after the British-India government ends its imperial rule and what finally brought about the 1997 ceasefire and what transpired during the Indo-Naga political dialogue that has crossed 27 years. With this objective in mind, they organized a “Two-Day Political Awareness Program” at the Council Headquarters (CHq), Hebron on the 14th & 15th May, 2024.
Here are the excerpts from the three resource persons:
“God has bestowed lands upon the Nagas, and His purpose for them is not servitude, but rather to receive all things in His perfect timing. Therefore, we must stand firm in fulfilling the purpose that God has ordained for us”- Lieut. Gen. (Retd.) Vs. Atem, VC, Deputy Ato Kilonser, GPRN.
“Naga history is not a fabrication. Therefore, in official negotiations, the Nagas always uphold their position without compromise. During the official talks with the Government of India on November 14, 2023, the Indian representatives stated, “We have inherited Nagaland from the British. So, the Government of India is acting accordingly”. The Ato Kilonser, Mr. Th. Muivah retorted, “The unique history and the rights of the Naga people cannot be interpreted according to the interest and convenience of the Government of India”, – Mr. Kraibo Chawang, Member, Collective Leadership, NSCN.
“It is known to all that if we stop resistance movement, our people, our land, our history, our politics, our religion, our identity and culture will be colonized through Indian laws within no time. We must resist the aggressors or we perish”- Mr. Rh. Raising, Member, Collective Leadership, NSCN.
