NEW DElhi, april 29 (mExN): “One of the challenges for not being able to move forward in finding a solution is the perception that you have for one another,” asserted Kekhrie Yhome, Assistant Professor, Delhi University, at a discussion on ‘Peace Talk as a Means for Conflict Resolution: The Case of IndoNaga Peace process.’ The event was organized by the Forum for Understanding the Naga-India conflict and Human Rights (FUNICH) in New Delhi on April 24. The talk cum discussion was held with the hope to forge a path towards conflict resolution, peace and friendship, amongst various conflicting parties in the sub-continent. FUNICH expressed optimism for prosperity and peaceful coexistence based on fundamental principles of democracy, mutual respect and liberty. “Let this message resonates in other parts of the country, no matter how small it may be,” it stated. A press note from FUNICH cited Yhome stating that the enthusiasm among people, which existed when talks first started between the GoI and the NSCN, “is slowly disappearing.” He also lamented various developments, occurring in parallel to the peace process. These include, according to Yhome, “a process of differ-

FUNICH holds discussion on Indo-Naga Peace Process entiation, compulsive distortion of facts and history, branding underground activism as acts of terrorism, under development, armed atrocities by the Indian security forces, advancement in utilization of natural resources, presence of institutionalized violence with militarization and loss of dignity, corporatization of North East vis-à-vis militarization.” This, he stated, gets manifested through large scale migration of Nagas and other NE youth into a city like Delhi, despite incidences of “racism.” Yhome cautioned that if the current peace talk breaks down, “the result will be not desirable and it will have its repercussion.” Yhome was one of the panellists at the event, which included GK Pillai, Former Home Secretary GoI; Dr Kumar Sanjay Singh, Assistant Professor, DU; Binalakshmi Nepram, General Secretary, Control Armed Foundation of India; Inshah Malik, Activist and Research Scholar and Gautam Navlakha, Consultant Editor, EPW, writer & activist. GK Pillai stressed on the need to ensure that “mistakes” made earlier “should not be repeated in the future settlement.”

“Should there be a settlement from this current peace talk with the NSCN, GoI should make all out efforts to get the approval from all the stakeholders including civil societies such as Naga Hoho, Naga Students’ Bodies, various underground factions,” he asserted. Inshah Malik stated that “in a situation of war, ‘peace talks’ are India’s way of buying time and enforcing death to Naga aspiration of self-determination.” She added that any talk should aim towards resolving the political problem and “not mere generation of peace while there is killing in the streets.” Gautam Navlakha viewed that the Indian State, in the process of the nation state movement, “were incapable of accepting and understanding the needs to take a less muscular approach to issues, where people challenge the Nation State Project.” “And that is the crux of the problem,” he added. He further lamented that the GoI takes a movement seriously “only if they take up arms.” “As a non-violence movement or a so called peaceful movement is easy for a strong state to handle,

they have succeeded in doing so,” he said. Binalakshmi Nepram, another panellist, stated that India is still in “denial,” regarding the Naga Movement, which according to her is “reflected in India’s reply to the UN Committee on UNSCR 1325, saying that there is no armed conflict.” She urged the GoI to first “apologize to the people of the NE for armed atrocities.” “If there is no armed conflict then why there is AFSPA,” she posed. Nepram further questioned whether political leaders representing the region are addressing the issue of armed conflict. Dr Kumar Sanjay Singh stated that one “cardinal failure of peoples’ movements in India has been the singular failure in understanding the significance of various political issues. He noted three aspects of the negotiating process which need to be taken into account. These include recognizing that negotiation is a part of statecraft, that the organization that negotiates always “splits,” and that the term of discourse changes from rights to community. Stating that the Indian state is” in the process of very active centralization,” he further questioned as to what affect this development would have on the Naga Movement for their right to self determination.

Temsurenla Imcha Yaden.

Victor Dzüvichü Dimapur | April 29

Fashion has become a mainstay in many aspects of modern life. From just covering up the body to looking trendy, clothes are a way of defining a person. From designer clothing brands like Versace, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Prada and Zara to sporting brands like Adidas and Nike, every piece of cloth in itself is a reflection of who a person is, whether it is simple yet elegant or chic and glamorous. The last decade has seen a revival of sorts in Nagaland, wherein Naga youth, defying the age old mentality of sticking to public sector jobs, have dared to venture into the private sector. The glamour world is one such sector, where Naga designers like Atsu Sekhose and models like Esther Jamir, Akuonuo Khezhie, Ethiel Konyak, Carol Humtsoe and Ketholeno Kense have achieved noticeable success. Meet 27 year old designer

Temsurenla (Aren) Imcha Yaden, who has taken that leap forward and brought out her own brand of clothing line “Yadenz.” A product of the Indian Institute of Fashion Technology, New Delhi, Aren revealed that during her BBA 1st year, she discovered her true passion and joined IIFT, New Delhi to pursue her dreams. Aren recollects how her parents were very supportive of her decision to switch fields and helped her pursue it. She spent three and half years at the institute and worked for 20 Media Onwards, Couture Allure and Carnival. Aren is today the proud owner of her own clothing line and store “Yadenz”, which was launched on April 28 in Dimapur. Aren likes to keep her designs simple yet elegant and states that ‘Yadenz,’ along with focusing on teenagers and young adults, both men and women, will also deal in clothing for the elderly. She believes fashion and trend should not be just focused on the younger generation. With three persons working under her, Aren is responsible for researching the raw materials, engineering the fabrics, designing them and then putting them into production. Her designs have already been worn by Nagaland’s only all girls’ band Vivace during the 2013 Hornbill Festival. Drawing inspiration from Karl Lagerfeld, Aren defines herself as an independent and inquisitive character. When asked about the future, she says, “I want to focus on the things at hand. As for the future, I’d want to be surprised at what the future has in store for me.” Aren had initially planned to set up her boutique at Bangalore, but decided to set up shop in Dimapur, ready to take on the challenges that life has to offer along the way. She hopes to make ‘Yadenz’ a household name in the fashion industry. For more info on Yadenz, check out their page on Facebook or visit www.yadenz.com.
