NSC 69 | The Naga Question: Insurgency, Ceasefire &the Peace Process

Dr. Happymon Jacob speaks with Gopal Krishna Pillai [India’s former Home Secretary
(2009 - 2011)] about a range of issues that constitute the Naga question, or the Naga quest for greater
autonomy. He provides a historical overview of the Naga issue, the unilateral declaration of
independence, the Indian state’s response, the insurgency and the many efforts at peace that have
been made. Mr. Pillai highlights the many factions within the Naga movement, delineating their
respective positions and demands. Mr. Pillai explains what he thinks of the 2015 framework
agreement and the progress that has been made since then.

    What is the objective of this interview. It is important to let India know about Nagas and its struggle and what past situations led to the current ones. But Mr. Pillai seems one sided, arrogantly minimising the Nagas and our Culture. Have Mr. Pillai even visited Nagaland?. Why are you discussing how insignificant Naga issue is? We the "insignificant" Nagas without any arms witheld the Mighty India with all its firearms and ammunitions and made India to withdrew from the then Naga hills area. How can Mr. Pillai quoting "their idea of sovereignty" blatantly belittle us. Do you see any similarities between the cultures of the rest of India and Nagas? How can you just skip by the real fact that ur India did not even know the existence of Nagas unless for the British government and how can you skip the fact that "you" falsely occupied our land and ruled us for decades.

    It would be fair if some Nagas were present or as a panelist during this conversation... Nagas were never part of indian princely state.

    Mr. Pillai need to humble himself before Babu Gandhi jee's statement towards Naga rights. Otherwise He is just acting great to himself and challenging to whole Naga for no reason. Keep it in mind Naga by History are totally different from the indians. To speak the truth , we are totally sick of indian rules and policy that coppy from british....time to end up those silly mistakes and focus on others rights as well. Thank you.

    The type of attitude GK Pillai, like most Indian officials possessed, makes Nagas more Disturbing

    Isn't this Mr. Pillai the one who is much talked about that he became a millionaire just by serving the state of Nagaland? I can't digest how he's talking shit about Nagaland as if he knows every history of the Nagas.. The way he speaks clearly reflects he's totally against the Naga solution.

    Fascinating discussion. I like the flexible stand on flag. Statehood is a good thing. Should be given to all , including Delhi. Unless the population is a " couple of lakhs".
