Neiphiu Rio raises inter-state tension with a school affiliation proposal
If economic progress is the one thing that can solve the problems of the troubled North-East, the actions of those entrusted with the responsibility of leading the region seem to speak often to the contrary. This time, it’s Nagaland Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio, who has ruffled feathers by declaring that schools in Naga dominated areas in states bordering the state would now be allowed to affiliate to the Nagaland Education Board. In a backward region known for its share of ‘economic blockades’, ‘rasta rokos’ & bandhs, Rio’s move comes even as long-standing border disputes among NE states are yet to be resolved.
For a region that is yet to see its only stock exchange at Guwahati get anywhere meaningful in more than 15 years of existence, the proposal has been greeted with anger. “We will not allow this to happen,” said Shankar Prasad Rai, President of All Assam Students Union, “We also appeal to the people of Assam to go and occupy those areas of Assam, which are under threat of Naga occupation.” In Manipur, which was in flames in 2001 after the Centre’s ceasefire with the insurgent National Socialist Council of Nagaland (Isak-Muivah) was extended to Manipur, the response was similar. “This is their way of setting up Nagalim, a Greater Nagaland,” Y. Mangi, Editor of Matamgiyakairol, a Manipuri daily published in Imphal told B&E. For now, however, Rio’s government is attempting to play down the issue. “Don’t we have colleges affiliated to universities in Delhi & Punjab?” asked K. Khekiho Zhimomi, Rio’s Industries & Commerce Minister. But, moot question is: Will Nagaland’s neighbours accept such a simplistic view of the issue, given the history of violence in the region? And yet non-acceptance could mean more clashes –and another small step backward, socially as well as economically.
