WHOSE SINS?

WHOSE SINS?


“I myself always strive to have a conscience without offence towards and men- Act 24:16”

All of us must have read the very enlightening speeches by Shri Muivah and Swu in which they have blamed sins of the Naga society and the handiwork of ‘Good old satan’ as the main cause of delay, in resolution of the protracted Naga Political problem.

In some ways this is hilarious and in other ways pathetic. Let me recount some of my ideas here? What sins have we the Naga people done? We also need to define what sin is? Is it a sin to be happy? Is it a sin to miss a mass? Is it a sin to work outside the State? Is it a sin not to sympathize or empathize with the IM faction?

What sins have we done which the rest of the country or the world not done? Are we more sinful than America (which almost wiped out American Indians and used slavery to flourish), England, Portugal or France (the original imperialists)? Are the leaders of the IM Faction so bereft of ideas that they have to invoke God in putting the blame for lack of progress in peace talks to the society at large?

What about your own sins, Sh Muivah and Swu? Taking thousands of innocent lives and leading to the path of sin, of young and malleable minds. Is extortion a sin Mr Muivah? So do the poor suffering people of Nagaland expect this form of donation to stop? No sir! Your sins will continue and the Naga society will continue to be blamed for your ‘Sins’. Will the killings stop Mr Muivah? Now that you have realized the true path to peace and salvation.

Yes Lord Christ is very forgiving. May be he forgives you and your types for the atrocities and hardships perpetuated by your men in the last so many years, on your own people. May we expect something better in the future? If sins of the general public are to be blamed for our ills, will a sudden reform to church standards (repent and confess) remove the ’Sins’ of the other Indians believing in some other religion, so that both sinless groups can negotiate peace?

Some say a weak man takes recourse in God. Psychiatrist say this is the ‘external locus of control’ where in we blame all our problems, inaction and lack of success to God or other factors such as luck, fate etc. Be strong Mr Muivah. In your hands lies the fate of the Talks. If you have repented and confessed, maybe this round of talks will be more meaningful. But should you fail, as usual, please do not blame us poor souls or Lord Almighty Christ who is compassionate, loving, benevolent and kind. Please do not try and show HIM as an angry and upset God whose only pastime is to stop or delay peace talks.
