The word "Naga" tribe in NE India can be deleted, IF?

 Suthep Chaviwan/Jan. 31.22

 Since the genesis of the first Naga armed group, known as the Naga National Council, in Northeast India in February 1946, and followed by the establishment of dozens of other Naga (rebel) groups that exist nowadays. They have the word "NAGA" added in their organizations and all of them have the same Naga National Flag.

 

In "my viewpoint" if there is no Naga rebel group, the word "Naga" will be easily destroyed, delete, or perhaps vanish from India as some Indians are trying to castrate the grown of Naga population (?).

They said Naga must be Indian, not participate with the separated movement.

Indian security forces, Assam Rifle, and all mightily Indian forces as well as those who are authorized to use the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA), that operating in Northeast India, however, do not win the Naga armed groups.

India may use its Naga Regiment, an infantry regiment of the Indian Army and Naga politicians against Naga rebel groups, but India failed to eliminate "Naga" rebels and was unable to delete the word Naga.

The Counter-Insurgency and Jungle Warfare School (CIJWS) in Vairengte, Mizoram, which is the best school of India to fight against insurgency had produced hundreds of Indian security personnel to fight against Nagas, but they still did not fulfill their task.

Indian forces have sophisticated weapons and strong maneuvers, but they do not fully have a chance to use such weapons against Naga guerrillas as the Nagas had used another guerrilla warfare against India.

Although India may have the advanced knowledge from the CIJWS with the school's motto "fight the guerrilla like a guerrilla" It is likely to follow the tactic of Naga guerrillas, not supersede Naga guerrillas.

Fighting against Nagas by forces may not be successful as the Nagas have vast areas to escape and hide including the vast mountainous area of Somrah Tract between India and Myanma. Somrah Tract in a portion of Layshi Township of Myanmar side located within the Naga Self-Administered Zone of Sagaing Region. Myanmar borderline with India has multiple groups of Naga armed groups stationing.

Anyhow, India is very clever, not only suppressing Naga rebels by armed forces but also trying to eliminate Naga armed groups by other strategies, and quietly trying to delete the word Naga, with the hope to remain only the name of the tribe such as Tankhul Tribe (without the word Naga) Sema Naga will be called only “Sema tribe” or Sema Indian Tribe, no Naga tag.

As a matter of fact, India's security force has used this pilot project in certain of Naga – inhabited areas in Northeast India for deleting the word “Naga” but failed.

 Interesting, some Naga persons that live in a foreign country, are reported that they do not want any foreign friends knowing that they are Naga. They want to identify themselves as Indian or Indian national. (Not Naga!.)
