indigenousnagaland #24 — Democratic Ethos? No
NNC (Naga National Council) has the mandate of the land. India's dialogue with NSCN-IM (National Socialist Council of Nagalim — Isak & Muivah; breakaway faction from NNC) is a farce.
Thewire.in has published a piece, Will the ‘Framework Accord’ End Democracy and Freedom in Nagaland?, dated 17th June, 2016.
Two things:
(A) The title itself is probematic. It has a wrong presupposition: AFSPA's — martial law — imposition, does not qualify India's puppet state, Nagaland, for a democracy or land of freedom. The title is a misleading, thought-control and thought-manipulative, literary device. You can't end something that doesn't exist in the first place. The title has an error in logic.
(B) The unwarranted use of the phrase, India "is committed to a democratic ethos" (repeated twice within the same write-up) has come without its leg to stand on.
India — when its promises and veiled threats proved futile — has conducted a scorched-earth policy-based, full-fledged military invasion, with the beheading of men and women to militarily enforce a submission to India on all fours without the ability to say NO.
The plebiscite has had shown 99 % of the population giving their thumb impressions for indigenous sovereignty, as opposed to becoming a colony of India.
India — the only country to conduct aerial bombardments on its own 'citizens' — has merely superimposed a western constitution at the surface level, like lipstick on a prostitute, while the caste rigidity at the heart of Indian society gives no habitable space for democractic ethos. Democracy is never a top-down system, because the concepts and concepts, that beat the heart of democracy, have to reside in the very heart of the myths and beliefs of the land — those myths and beliefs for which the land is committed to sacrifice its soul. Democratic ethos is not a commitment. Democractic ethos is a state of being.
