Six Naga tribes- Konyak, Chang, Phom, Khiamniungan, Yimchunger and Sangtam inhabiting four districts of Tuensang, Mon, Longleng and Kiphire- are determined to achieve their common goal of a new state called ‘Frontier Nagaland as per the memorandum submitted to the government of India on December 6,2010. The six tribes have distinctively come under the banner of Eastern Nagaland Public Organisation(ENPO) and have been proactive in meeting representatives of the central government including chief minister, governor and other functionaries of Nagaland. At their September 14 public meeting in Tuensang town, ENPO representatives have resolved that they will not accept any economic packages as substitute for their demand of ‘Frontier Nagaland’ state. The ENPO has also rejected the offer for creating district-wise project proposals for the development of ENPO area as suggested by union special secretary(Internal Security) ministry of home affairs to officials of government of Nagaland. The main grouse against remaining part of present Nagaland state was the ‘discrimination’ by the so-called ‘advanced tribes’. In all the rallies, the focus used to be on ‘discrimination’ by the state government and therefore, they firmly believed it was better to have their own kitchen and cook their own food without being left at the ‘mercy’ of the kitchen run by the ‘major’ or ‘advanced’ tribes of present Nagaland. It is ironic that while there is the issue of Naga integration on one hand, there is another issue of Naga bifurcation on the other hand. One factor that had been aired over the past decades was that of being deprived of a fair share of development in the four districts in matters of projects including employment opportunities. This is borne by the fact that the far flung regions of the state still woefully lack basic infrastructures such as all-weather roads and other needs such as properly manned institutions. These are genuine concerns which have been unattended for many decades. The elected representatives of the ENPO area especially in the past, have failed to do justice to their people. This shows that the elected members were not on the same page though on paper, they were supposed to be sharing the same platform. The creation of Frontier Nagaland after bifurcation from present Nagaland will effectively reduce the state to half its present size. Today the tribes under ENPO have gone far enough to ever want to retract their demands even if it may seem a very difficult objective. The demand for a separate Frontier Nagaland will have to be addressed one way or the other by all other tribes of Nagaland. There is a need for serious discussion not only by the tribe hohos but also the ordinary and unorganised people on how to resolve the issue. The genuine concerns of the ENPO may not be alien with similar concerns by other tribes in Nagaland. This means that there is need for the church, since it is the most influential body, to play its role in resolving conflicts and to ready itself for greater tasks ahead. On the other hand, if the persistence is to achieve a political goal of statehood then perhaps there may not be much room for resolution. The state legislators have to talk over this issue and bring out a practical and implementable blueprint resolution that will convince and assuage the feelings of the six tribes.
