- [The impact of Manipur’s conflict on children](https://nagalandpost.net/index.php/2025/05/24/the-impact-of-manipurs-conflict-on-children/): The 3rd of May 2025 marked two years of the outbreak of violence in the state of Manipur. The pathway to a permanent peace is still unclear. The ongoing negotiations that are largely shaped by adults (and mainly men) are yet to transform into concrete mitigating measures that alleviate the burdens of the most vulnerable. Children constitute a disproportionate number of the 67000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) who fled their homes in the conflict and the overall number of children who have been impacted remains largely unknown. As of September 2023, nearly 22,000 children (constituting 33% of the displaced population) […]
- [Nagaland’s demographic anxiety: Is the Bangladeshi influx the real crisis?](https://nagalandpost.net/index.php/2025/05/24/nagalands-demographic-anxiety-is-the-bangladeshi-influx-the-real-crisis/): As a Naga who has watched our land and people change — sometimes for the better, often not — I write this piece not as an expert, but as someone who cares deeply.

I don’t claim to have the answers, but I believe the right questions and grounded analysis can move us forward.The fear of an alleged influx of “illegal Bangladeshi immigrants” (IBIs) in Nagaland has surged in recent months, triggering panic, political posturing, and deep confusion across the state.

- [Resurrecting the body politic: Naga reconciliation beyond factional fractures](https://nagalandpost.net/index.php/2025/05/24/resurrecting-the-body-politic-naga-reconciliation-beyond-factional-fractures/): The Naga political struggle, spanning generations, is etched in sacrifices that defy measure: centuries of defiance against erasure, rivers of blood spilled for self-determination, and the slow erosion of hope in all Naga homes across the artificial boundaries. Yet the promise of Naga reintegration and sovereign homeland lies shattered, fragmented into competing shards of tribal and factional interests. This is not mere political discord; it is the unraveling of a people’s identity, the collapse of a collective future. The branches of resistance have splintered into warring offshoots, each feeding on the soil of shared history but yielding only thorns of […]
- [The Delight Of Despair](https://nagalandpost.net/index.php/2025/05/24/the-delight-of-despair-7/): And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. — Revelation 1:17 It may be that like the apostle John you know Jesus Christ intimately, when suddenly He appears with no familiar characteristic at all, and the only thing you can do is to fall at His feet as dead. There are times when God cannot reveal Himself in any other way than in His majesty, and it is the awfulness of the vision which brings you to the delight of despair; if you are ever to be raised up, it must be by the hand of […]
- [NE investors’ hub](https://nagalandpost.net/index.php/2025/05/24/ne-investors-hub/): Since the BJP introduced its North East policy in 2014-replacing the UPA’s ‘Look East’ approach with the more assertive ‘Act East’ vision-substantial developments have unfolded in the region. Unlike its predecessor, the ‘Act East’ policy is action-oriented, emphasizing tangible projects and measurable outcomes. In characteristic fashion, the BJP has sought to distinguish its governance through policy execution, particularly in areas that contrast with the Congress-era initiatives. One of the most notable outcomes has been the steady flow of corporate investments into the North East, with announcements amounting to lakhs of crore rupees. Unexpectedly, Assam has emerged as the standout recipient […]
