Only Hope for Nagas/Khasis/anybody to develope-- is in Free Assam.
British East India Company came in and stayed Assam for just 1 reason--Saah. Naga Slopes were taken-but not ridges. They allowed rest to US Southern Missions . Brits already had enough of Tea from Plain Districts of Assam.
India wants all and more-more

DAda,
I am not talking my view.Its my father- who had travelled all over NE during freedom struggle.We never had any bad image on the people of NE.Now Mangaldai might be far for new generations.Those days people used to come all over asssam- Bomdilla to Luchai hills with pitha pona etc...travelling/walking weeks......I only told why British dared to go.. the reason.Once Indian Army was full of Naga and Mizo officer including police and IPS.all vanished now-.
Those days all the Govt vehicle drivers used to be a Naga or Khasi- as they have to drive all over one way hills....I miss all...The Govt driver of Tezpur electricity SDO in 1972 was a Naga, he took me to the first day joining to class 4th to then kalaigaon govt aided high school on 10 Feb 1972.His name was Ao.
The then Assam police footballers.. all was mostly nagas..
I too still think why now only people are going away.. side lined.
anyway its global changes now like how rhinos /tigers/glaciers are vanishing.So are the old sweet relations....
Thanks MCM da.
