Being grown up in Bihar and taught to believe in Indian nationalism. I understand how repressive the Indian structure is as far as dalits, adivasis, minorities, women and ethnicities from North-East, Ladakh and Andaman are concerned. In this regard, it would be interesting to learn how the elites and masses are trying to shape todays politics in Nagaland. Hopefully you can comment here. Personally, I don’t think India would treat Nagas on equal terms, for them in the present framework the latter would always be distinct inferior people to be called Indian so that the mainland could boast for its ‘harmonious diversity’, claim for its resources and use it as buffer regions against other recognized nation-states. Though the people living there could better reflect the reality.
