It is principle on which the meaning of life takes root. When it is shaken, everything is forced afloat on the evil side of the world. The purpose of life is discarded and the society is set out of scruples. The conduct of such a broken-loose society is governed on the philosophy of the fallen Angel! It is beyond forbearance to see the fate of any people being wafted on towards that end.
It is by keeping the principle that objectives are attained through policy and the meaning of life is pursued to its reality. Therefore to save a nation or a society one must, above all, be established on the solid rock of principle. We should know that whenever expediency is stressed beyond there is always the danger of principle being sacrificed; it would be like running both feet off the ground just for a fall. Opportunists often ran out of horizon in the name of what they called expediency. We Nagas, have suffered much from this; we have to struggle to come round from such grievous hurt. It stems in the main, from the failure of knowing the exact prowess of the enemy. When enemy's consequently leads on to embark upon unfounded, feeble policy through which the adversary could come to know of him and have the advantage of taking the offensive on all fronts. It is most dangerous when we do not know both ourselves and the adversary; until we know the adversary, paradoxically we cannot know ourselves either as we are to deal with him.
The leaders at home did not believe in the resisting power of the people; they did not comprehend the fact that, for all set-backs, the force of the people could make its way to the final victory. They feared the continued fighting would bring terrible consequences, nay India could even annihilate the people of Nagalim and argued "What freedom would mean if people are finished? It has, therefore, involved the question of humanity". They accordingly discouraged fighting and the efforts to strengthen defence line. The cause of the nation was no more in them. They carried within them only the defeated hearts. It is also an open secret that they had been playing understand game with the enemy to get the area of their occupation free from military operation and made spear-head of the operation directed on the stalwart patriots to soften them into their line. Unfortunately, many a good-intentioned national worker became victims of it. They always overestimated the enemy in spite of his practical inability to crush us in the past twenty five years and made importunate, fear-ridden overtures here and there which they considered expedient at the time when Nagas were worst situated. This nature of unrealistic and ill-timed approaches exposed our helplessness to the adversary. He had got what he wanted. Now, knowing for sure that Nagas were no longer in a position to hold their own both in the battle and on the negotiating table, the government of India launched a timely offensive and successfully had his terms dictated. It was, it should be acknowledged, a splendid catch hauled ashore.
In their vain attempts to foist the treacherous Accord on the people, they have employed all sorts of political black arts, calling heaven and earth, now here, now there. They do not cease talking large of their act -- "Our conscience is clear; we have done it to save our nation". Words of valour and honor are profusely used in their politics of prostrate capitulation. We wonder if a man could fight better with a monster by jumping into his jaws, nay, by permitting to be swallowed deep into the stomach, than from a free position! Are we to experiment upon the sovereign existence of Nagalim by concluding an agreement of treason, and bury it for expedience's sake? Is this expedient, as claimed by the Accord makers who once boasted themselves as the oracles of the country? It is no other than saving one's own life at the expense of the nation. Your philosophy is that "let it be, even though everything of the nation is lost, if I am saved." Nagalim would not be so cheap as it was disposed of in your agreement. You will come to know the hard fact that Nagalim belongs only to the people and you cannot defraud them of it. The leadership who still harbours the notion that people could be led by the nose has overshot himself and has fallen astern of time. We, the revolutionary patriots, shall at no time view our free Motherland through the eyes of a traitor. Whatever noise you may make it will be only your helpless cry from the bottomless pit into which you have jumped of your own accord. You are there and your doom is sealed there.
On the whole, we cannot approach the world without clarity, neither could we escertain the actuality of any condition through fear. Accurate appraisal of what the enemy and ourselves can and cannot do is essential for prudent dealing. Whatever might be the superiority of the enemy, there is no power on earth that dares annihilate the Nagas. Therefore, we should never allow ourselves to be carried away by the baseless view that the adversary could wipe out the whole population. This is a mere phantom projected through the fear-ridden shallow politicians, now traitorsd, to indimidate the people into accepting their line of capitulation. We should not yield to blackmail of whatever kind. We should never lose sight of the truth that victory is definitely fight for the just cause of her freedom so long as the opponents are able to fight the wrong war to exterminate it. Let us be earnest with the world being mindful of the fact that overestimation of the adversary causes fear and make one commit right opportunism, while underestimation leads him to be presumptuous and makes him commit left opportunism. It is the correct assessment of the actual condition that makes correct approach possible.
