Greater Nagaland: Great danger to India's sovereignty
By K. Kath



NSCN(IM) leader Th. Muivah had given Delhi "only a few more months to decide on
his proposals for reaching a final political settlement". "No one should take
Nagas for granted", he warned during an interview with BBC in the middle of
November last year. In a recently held talk at Bangkok in December 2005, he
alleged that some elements in India were trying to drive the NSCN(IM) back to
war. He threatened that GoI should know the truth that neither the NSCN nor the
Nagas will ever bow down under threats. To create additional psychological
pressure on GoI and to show his capacity of again returning to war he has
shortened the ceasefire period from one year to six months which expired.

The soil beneath the feet of Muivah and NSCN(IM) is dithering away. His cadres
have turned extortionist. <b>NSCN(IM)'s higher cadres are living a luxurious and
lustful life. For them, insurgency has become a flourishing business.</b> They do
not want any solution so that insurgency continues and they can live a royal
life without doing any work. The inaction on the part of state and central
government encourages them to continue on the path of terrorism. This is the
reason that Muivah and his cohorts are putting such demands which GoI cannot
fulfill and they can continue tread the path of terror. Most of the NSCN(IM)
cadres are married and are enjoying happy life with family-parents, wife,
children etc.

But innocent Naga people are paying the price. They are subjected to extortion
and humiliation. On refusing to pay extortion money, the innocent Naga people
are gunned down. Since people are afraid of reporting their torture to police,
things look normal from above but beneath the surface, there is a powerful storm
against NSCN(IM). People say Nagaland cannot produce even a match-stick, how
shall we survive if India leaves us. All the extortionists working under the
garb of NSCN(IM) cadres will have a hey day if there is no control of the
Centre. There will be murders and counter-murders only.

Muivah and Issac can serve American interest better than any other Naga. That is
why, America and UK are extending all possible help to

Muivah is neither interested in the welfare of Nagas, nor of Tangkhuls of
Manipur. He is more interested in his own welfare. He gets VIP treatment in
America, UK and other European countries because latters interests are served
through Muivah. These countries don't want India to be a competent country in
the world and this could be possible if there is no peace. That is what Muivah
is doing not only in Nagaland but also in Manipur, Arunachal and other N-E
states through various sister terrorist organisations.

Muivah and Issac can serve American interest better than any other Naga. That is
why, America and UK are extending all possible help to NSCN(IM). They are not
only providing money and material help but they are properly looking after their
well-being. With their help, Muivah has opened several offices in USA, UK,
Netherland, Bangkok and many other countries. Organisations like Naga
International Support Centre (NISC) and Naga Vigil are functioning from foreign
soil to destabilize India and Muivah and Issac along with their cohorts are
dancing to the tune of Americans and Britishers. A person by the name of Grace
Collins, a registered foreign agent for Nagaland and believed to be working for
NSCN(IM) in US, drafted the following speech for <b>Senator Barbara Boxer,
Chairperson of US Senate Foreign Relations Committee: "After studying the
location of Nagaland, I realise, it has military importance.</b> Nagaland is
sandwiched in between some very different and large nations in terms of
political philosophy, culture and religion. It may be small with a population of
3.5, million and 42 distinctive tribes of Sino-Mongoloid descent but the
significance of their location is great. <b>To north Nagaland borders China
(Communist), to the east Burma (Buddhist), to the West India (Hindu) and to
South Bangladesh (Muslim). I believe the potential military importance of
Nagaland to the US is akin to that of South Korea's 38th parallel. </b>Like South
Korea, Nagaland falls in the middle of powerful countries. America's Army holds
the dividing line between democracy and communism is South Korea."

<b>Barbara Boxer says further, "While Nagaland has evolved its own type of social
system, it is founded on American principles and its political structure has
been influenced by American missionaries who went there in 1839. I would like to
take this opportunity to welcome Nagaland's presence in Washington and recommend
our committee to provide technical training to Nagaland to create a voice (for
Nagaland) in US, support their right to self-determination and freedom from
their oppressors." Boxer attended the opening of NSCN(IM)'s office in
Washington. She backed the group's demand for a Greater Nagalim including
Naga-inhabited areas in other states of Northeast. The Senator's daughter Nicole
is married to Hilary Clinton's brother Tony Rodham. She is known to wield clout
in Washington in favour of NSCN(IM) being a member of the important Committee
(Time of India, October 4, 2003). It is alarming that NSCN(IM) is given free
hand to open its office in US. They already have their offices in Bangkok,
Amsterdam and London. In similar tune, former President of US, Jimmy Carter has
asked Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to push the peace dialogue with NSCN(IM) in
order to bring about an acceptable solution, which would assure the rights of
Naga people. In a letter addressed to Manmohan Singh(June 18, 2005) Carter has
tried to influence Manmohan Singh to concede to the demands of Muivah for
"Greater Nagalim".</b>

NSCN(IM). They are not only providing money and material help but they are
properly looking after their well-being.

<b>There is no Christian country in third world.</b> Right from Israel upto Japan
including the countries like Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, China,
Bangladesh and other smaller countries, there is no Christian country and nearly
375 crore population live here. This is the pain of nexus of USA, UK and
Vatican. <b>They want to create a Christian country and Greater Nagaland. If carved
out, it will be the proposed Christian country in the subcontinent. This
strategy of America is an echo of Pope's declaration that Europe was won over in
first millennium, Africa and America in the second millennium. Now, in third
millennium, Asia must be won over. And the means are Bible (forced conversion),
booze (destruction of youths by preaching the philosophy of hedonic consumerism)
and bullet (the way NSCN-IM works).</b>

America has one more reason to help NSCN(IM) and forcible conversion of Indians
particularly in North-east region. The zone is rich in natural and mineral
resources. When America remembers this richness, the water comes in her mouth.
Bush is a fanatic Christian. Condoleeza Rice is the daughter of a Christian
priest and most of the top-ranking and policy-making politicians and bureaucrats
in Bush government of USA are fanatic Christians. They are helping N-E Churches
through multinational companies, NGOs, particularly, working in the fields of
HIV/AIDS and other visible and invisible means. Jirsong Asong in Diphu is
helping the Karbi outfits to foment clashes between Karbis and Dimasas.

Recently, Asia's biggest Ao Church was inaugurated in Dimapur in December 2005.
In a very strange manner, Vatican has appointed two bishops in Arunachal
Pradesh-one at Itanagar and the other at one place in East Arunachal Pradesh.
How the divisive forces are allowed to work in sensitive bordering areas? In
August 2005, NSCN(IM)'s Chairman Issac Chisi Swu was in USA. He revealed in an
interview at Beverly Hills(USA) that Nagaland had 10,000 missionaries poised to
take the Gospel to nearby lands. Issac said, "We want to penetrate China,
Cambodia, Burma Vietnam, Laos and Nepal with the Gospel and we have 10,000
missionaries who are ready to go. What is holding up the outreach is the
finalisation of peace talks between the Indian government and the four million
people of Nagaland which borders China, Burma and Bangladesh who have been in
military dispute for many years." NSCN(IM)'s chairman says further, "we want to
request the whole world to pray for us so that the peace process with India will
be successful so that God will then release us and we can send us to preach the
Gospel around the world particularly in the neighboring countries." Muivah has
threatened to adopt the path of jungle if their demands for Greater Nagaland and
then sovereignty(limited) are not granted by January 31, 2006-the day present
ceasefire expires. Meanwhile, several eyebrows were raised on the visit of
Vatican Ambassador-Pedro Lopez quantana, the apostolic Nuncio and Vatican
Ambassador, to India into Nagaland. The 11-member team from Southwick Christian
Community Church, England, arrived Nagaland on November 16, 2005 and visited
Mokokchung, Akumen, Molungkimong, Kohima, and Dimapur to provide resources so as to help the Christian community grow. They told to media that they contributed
and supplied the resources in the field of medicine, education and also helped
to built church at Akumen. Now, Muivah has proposed the name of a Dutchman to
salvage the Naga talks. Known to be a longtime friend of Muivah, Dutchman
Michael C.Van Walt van Praag of the International NGO Kreddha set to attend the
next round of talk between NSCN(IM) and Delhi as the third party mediator and
perhaps GoI has agreed to it. If the Dutchman is allowed to mediate, it will
prove to be a disastrous game. Dr Michael C. Van Walt van Praag is an
international lawyer and former General Secretary of the Unrepresented Nations
and People's Organisation (UNPO).

The soil beneath the feet of Muivah and NSCN(IM) is dithering away. His cadres
have turned extortionist. NSCN(IM)'s higher cadres are living a luxurious and
lustful life.

This side, NSCN(IM) with the help of its frontal organisations like Naga
Students Federation (NSF), Naga People's Movement for Human Rights (NPMHR), Naga Hoho, Naga Mother Association (NMA) and Nagaland Baptist Council of Churches (NBCC), Council of Baptist Churches of Nagalim (CNBC), All Naga Students
Association of Manipur(ANSAM) and United Naga Council (UNC) of Manipur have
taken up a vigorous mass awakening program to mobilize the opinion in his
favour. NSCN(IM) cadres are on spree of encroachment of Assam lands. They have
encroached reserve forest areas-Diphu Reserve Forest-18, 053 hectares,
Nanbor(Golaghat)-25,000 hctrs, Rengma-11,800 hetrs, Doyang-1,500 hetrs. Dessoi
Valley-21,000 hctrs. Geleki(Sibsagar) 2,950 hectares (The Sentinel, December 28,
2005). Similarly, they had occupied 2500 hectares of reserve forest in
Misibailam village near Dhansiri. Earlier, Dimasa-Hmar clashes and now
Dimasa-Karbi clashes are NSCN(IM)'s creation.

But Government of India should know that people's response to NSCN(IM)'s call is
very poor. Whosoever attend their meetings, most of them are their cadres,
Church functionaries, forced invitees or hired people. People have no interest
in smaller or Greater Nagaland. Now, Naga society has understood the tricks
played by NSCN(IM). So they want development. They want university, medical
college, engineering college, industry, road, railway line and airport. They are
not interested in autonomy or sovereignty. They don't want Greater Nagaland
also.
