Southern Nagas: Tangkhul. Mao. Maram. Poumai. Anal. Chothe. Liangmai. Rongmei. Zeme. Angami. Aimol. Chiru. Inpui. Kharam. Khoibu. Koireng. Kom. Lamkang. Maring. Monsang. Moyon. Purum. Tarao. Thangal. And every Naga tribe in the southern Naga homeland.
I urge your careful attention reading it!
Many of our major tribes are spread across the Naga homeland, divided by artificial boundaries drawn through Nagaland, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, and Myanmar. Yet our circumstances are not the same. Nagas within Nagaland today enjoy a degree of political security, administrative and constitutional protection, and demographic stability that many Nagas outside Nagaland do not. The historical experience, demographic realities, and immediate concerns of Nagas within Nagaland are often different from those confronting the southern Naga homeland today. They have even accommodated and integrated with some of the same ethnic groups that are now a serious threat in the southern Naga homeland. These groups receive political, moral, and social support from their own kin in Nagaland State, as we have witnessed in recent times. But that is not the point here.
We Nagas outside Nagaland State especially Nagas of Manipur face a far more precarious, urgent, and existential reality today, one that directly threatens our lands, our future, and our political place in our own ancestral homeland. The pressures upon our lands, villages, and future are immediate and growing, emboldened by complacency across regions, tribes, factions, and organizations, despite the fact that we remain a far stronger people numerically, historically, politically, and morally, with legitimate and inherent rights over our ancestral homeland. This challenge is further exacerbated by the persistent disunity among the southern Naga tribes themselves.
This is not a criticism to our brothers and sisters in Nagaland. Their support remains important, and our destiny remains intertwined. But history teaches that no people can survive by waiting to be rescued. We must first look at ourselves. We share the same dangers, uncertainties, and the same adversary of history and if the present situation cannot unite, then no one else can do it for us. Our survival depends on our own unity.
The refugee tree planted under colonial rule less than two centuries ago has now grown deep roots. Armed groups, the civil society apparatus and the political machinery operating in our homeland are outnumbering and outmaneuvering us in area after area. They isolate us tribe by tribe, village by village, community by community. Divide and conquer is their method. Disunity is our accomplice.
Our lands are under pressure. Our political space is shrinking. Our demographic weight is diminishing. Our people are paying the price of disunity with their lives. This is not a distant threat. It is unfolding before our own eyes.
History teaches a simple lesson: no nation is defeated from outside until it has first been weakened from within. Our greatest vulnerability has never been the strength of others. It has been our inability to stand together when history demands it. One tribe cannot defend the future alone. One region cannot carry the burden alone. One organization cannot protect what belongs to all Nagas.
Those who seek advantage over us understand this truth. They exploit every division, every rivalry, every misunderstanding, and every delay. They advance together while we argue among ourselves.
