STOP CHEATING NAGALIM Naga Support Group (UK)
True national leaders use their independence days to spell out major policies to take their nations forward progressively. In this light, it is painful to learn that people like Adinno Phizo chose to talk silly and pathetic. After meaninglessly repeating the usual lines to deceive vulnerable Nagas, her main message was that the dead NNC deplores the Naga NGOs and that the southern Nagas have no right at all to talk about the Naga national issue. We are very sorry for her dirty mouth.
Unfortunately, Adinno’s reckless statement clearly spells out three deadly plans:
PLAN A: According to her, the term “Nagaland” means only the present so-called Nagaland State. In other words, parts of the land continuously inhabited for thousands of years by Nagas in Burma (the home of the Khaplang group) and the present states of Assam, AP, and Manipur are not part of the Naga Nation. Also, she wants to assert shamelessly that thousands of those non-Nagaland State Nagas sacrificed their lives just to enhance the power and glory of Late AZ Phizo and the erstwhile NNC.
PLAN B: Making attempts through media blitzkriegs to revive the dead NNC/FGN, an organisation long buried and completely forgotten with contempt.
PLAN C: To discredit the Naga NGOs by the NNCs in collaboration with the Khaplang group and their Meitei and Indian masters who are trying to subjugate the Nagas forever.
In answer to Plan A, the Naga Support Group (UK) would like to point out the fact that the Nagas did not fight and die for the Indian Nagaland State which came into existence only in 1963, whereas the Naga resistance movement against the Indian aggression began long before its disgraceful birth. Thousands of Nagas ungrudgingly laid down their lives for the “land of the Nagas” which is contiguous and measures 120,000 square kilometres. Reality speaks that the caesarean birth of this Nagaland State (16,579 square kilometres) is one of the biggest betrayals in Naga history. It is, thus, both immoral and criminal for professed Christian like Adinno to talk in this way. Actually it is downright stupid to say that one can live a life of peace and freedom by cutting off one’s head and limbs.
As far as the Plan B is concerned, however hard one may try, even with the help of anti-Naga individuals and states, no human beings can bring back a dead person to a healthy life.
Plan C will surely not work at all. This is so because all the brave and sane Nagas are solidly behind the Naga NGOs which have been steadfastly (1) working selflessly for a permanent peace in the land of the great Naga people through honourable solution of the 50 odd year Indo-Naga bloody conflict; (2) standing up for the sanctity of the territorial integrity of the land of the Nagas for which a quarter of a million Nagas had performed the ultimate sacrifice and millions more are actively committed to and working for it; and (3) articulating the injustices being heaped upon the Nagas by our neighbours such as the Indians, Meiteis, Burmese, etc., and to correct them for the sake of true friendship and genuine progress in all the areas through mutual recognition of each other’s national rights.
At the end of the day, the Nagas and their civil societies are not as foolish as considered by Adinno and NNCs and the Khaplang group (though it is definitely not free of defects, we praise the NSCN for not terming this group as a “Burmese terrorist group” even though the latter had been barking at it like mad dogs, using provocative words). With due respect, we earnestly desire that these NNCs and Khaplang group stop their destructive games of hoodwinking the Naga Nation. We want them to know that true service to the nation is not made up of sitting tight for decades and occasionally sending biased and silly speeches to the local newspapers to make people believe that you are shaking the world with the Naga movement story. And Khaplang group should realize that killing innocent people is a sin, and that threatening and banning Naga NGOs and international support groups is useless and very childish. We are not afraid of these intimidations, for God had promised He will watch over our coming and going ... Psalm 121:8. We trust Him because He is faithful.
It is very difficult to survive in Great Britain, because even a small family needs more than £2000 (about Rs. 200,000) in a month. Though we are quite proud of the fact that there is not a single Naga beggar in Nagalim, the Nagas are extremely poor in comparison to the high living standard of the West. Even in 2006 a Naga farmer works from dawn to dusk but earns Rs. 40 (about 50 pence). But these poor Naga farmers sent some NNC members to London and had been painfully supporting them for the past 44 years. Hence, it is time for the Nagas to ask Adinno and those remnant NNC individuals the progress they have made in Great Britain since 1962. A special tribunal should be set up to try them and, if found guilty of misusing the money given by the Nagas for campaign activities in the UN and Great Britain, they should be made to repay the amount.
We would like to conclude very humbly by stating the truth that we write this serious message for the sake of truth as well as for the true national salvation of our God-given free home Nagalim.

With warm wishes to all the Nagalim citizens,
Professor Timothy Kaping
