*** I won't hold your lack of surity against you Alpana. That is not at all unusual. You ( or I for that matter) are hardly in a position to be able to pass judgement on what the REAL ( as opposed to those who might pretend to be their proxies) Naga people want, never mind what your Naga classmates MIGHT have told you. Only the Indian Govt. and those Indians who like think they OWN the land which the Nagas call home would indulge in such pursuits - I mean attempt tell what the REAL Nagas want :-). But these folks could get to the bottom it very easily you know? Let the REAL Nagas speak -- thru the ballot box. I am sure you will agree it is not that elusive an answer. What do you think :-) ? >..probably it is because of the fear that it might repeat again? *** What is so unusual or bad about history repeating itself? If it is good history, why not? Who would, for example, not wish to see the history of America, or even India -- in spite of all its problems, becoming independent repeat ? >But being part of a country only recently is not an excuse, IMO.
