Ai Won’t Save the Nagas: Students’ Federation Emphasizes Unity
NSF’s 2nd federal assembly at Jongpha village in Karbi Anglong district of Assam on Thursday resolved to strengthen Naga unity and collective identity, with a focus on promoting Naga language, culture, and literature. The Naga Students’ Federation wants to promote Naga nationalism.
The decision comes at a time when tensions are running high among Naga groups over issues like the Naga flag, constitution, and the long-standing demand for a separate Naga state. The NSF has urged all Naga students to work together to achieve this goal. This is a call to action, as the organization believes that unity is key to making progress.
NSF General Secretary, Imtilemba Singit, said that the unity of the Nagas is their greatest strength. According to Singit, the Naga students must work towards a common goal, focusing on the promotion of Naga culture, language, and literature.
With over 1.5 million Nagas spread across Nagaland, Assam, Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh, and Myanmar, maintaining unity is a major challenge. However, the NSF believes that with collective effort, the Nagas can achieve their goals. The organization plans to engage in activities like workshops, conferences, and cultural events to promote Naga unity.
The NSF has also appealed to the Central and state governments to address the issues of the Nagas, including the demand for a separate Naga state. The organization believes that unity among Nagas will help them present a stronger case to the governments.
What this means
The NSF’s resolution to strengthen Naga unity and collective identity is a significant move towards promoting Naga nationalism. It emphasizes the importance of language, culture, and literature in maintaining unity among Nagas. The organization’s call to action, urging Naga students to work together towards a common goal, is a practical takeaway for the reader.
