Reconciliation among the factions does not rest on any faction but on being true to God. The formula for reaching true forgiveness and reconciliation is obedience to the law of relationship with God which is synonymously the law of good relationship among mankind “Know your God, believe in Him, fear Him and obey Him.” Anything which is to your liking or disliking, your advantage or disadvantage, if true, it should be admitted as true; if untrue, it should be admitted as untrue; right should be admitted as right and wrong should be admitted as wrong. Moral bankruptcy is prevailing in our society. Justifying selves and accusing others is going on endlessly. No one speaks to bridge. So the element of truth is found lacking to bring about true reconciliation.
The Naga publics, the Church, the civil societies, the factions and the FNR have to be realistic and to admit the truth. Roaring lie cannot defy the truth but the neglected truth will never die but will prevail. The cause of the Nagas is independence or sovereignty but the contemporaries today have found that any kind of practical, acceptable and honourable settlement is the only way of solution in place of independence or sovereignty and the people cannot blame the national workers for concluding the talk with a settlement short of independence. We have come to such a stage that the time for argument for the sake of argument and allegation for the sake of allegation is gone but it is now the time to dig out the truth in sober mind. Failures and commitment might have been done by any organization such as the NNC/FGN and the NSCN(K) but in spite of it, they have dedicated their lives for the cause of the Nagas. So their hardship and sacrifices have to be honoured by the Naga people. Candidly speaking, the NSCN(I-M) which have been leading the talk with the GOI in the last 13 years, though they also have done lot of blunders for which they are being blamed by the Naga public, they are most capable and efficient leaders among the National workers and we have confidence that they will not betray the Nagas but whatever settlement is made will be out of the best possible bargaining power in the present context.
If certain groups of people are opposed to it or try to sabotage the talk on any pretext, it is a known fact that it is for the sake of opposition. Such people will not manage better. If someone can do better or higher, who don’t want anything better or higher? But it is a known fact that there is no one who can do better or higher among the Nagas. The writer has repeatedly challenged any Nagas to come forward with any concrete idea or proposal for talk for public consumption but not a single one raised his or her voice but simply kept on harping on unity, unity. If there is no idea or suggestion to be produced before the public, it is better not oppose the ongoing talk because without talk no settlement can be brought about and if settlement is not made, Nagaland will continue to be the threshold of factional conflict instead of a land for Christ. If the people are sincere that reconciliation is a must, the logical truth should be admitted. In a family, the success of a brother is the happiness of all and the failure of one is the sadness for all. Reconciliation in Nagaland is hypocritical and insincere reconciliation. In the reconciliation movement, instead of grasping one another, you have been wrestling with one another. Reconciliation is for the sake of reconciliation and unity is for the sake of unity without the cause. Participants of peace meetings speak good things without speaking the truth. If the success is denied, the failure is accepted. Unity is a must and it should be on the basis of the success and not on the basis of the failures. Should the people have reconciliation or unity on the basis of the past failures? Unity should be on the basis of the success. We have to be positive and not to be negative, to go forward and not backward. We are now above the Shillong Accord under the umbrella of the talk in the highest level only. It is cent per cent true and logical but many people refused to admit it because the talk is being led by the NSCN(I-M). It is hatred and jealousy. But hatred and jealous should be removed in the movement of reconciliation. We have to stand for justice and not for or against any group. The people say that settlement is impossible without unity. Unity is a must but if the people fail to realize the truth, the sufferings of the public should not be prolonged because of the ignorance of some ones. A settlement is bound to be made to put the sufferings of the people to an end. In 1960, the 16 Points Agreement was made which was opposed by all of underground people but the State Government has been in existence.
The conclusion is support the talk and participates in it in the spirit of reconciliation or being of a family by obeying the law of relationship with God.
