Moayanger stated that history had undoubtedly witnessed an unhealthy paradigm shift because people were divided like never before and because of the shifts that have been happening since the declara tion of Naga Independence on August 14, 1947, by the president of Naga National Council (NNC) until today. “The changes, transi tions, and transformations that are supposed to be healthy for the Nagas as one family has somewhere devastatingly gone wrong”, he asserted.“Who is/are respon sible for all the hazardous divides? Are individuals asking these difficult ques tions to themselves and to the leaders who are sup posed to be accountable to the Nagas across borders and barriers?”, the student leaderHeasked.informed that with all this in mind, DNSU be lieved that conducting a de bate would help the younger generation and elders to be ignited “with a sense of responsibility towards the unity and progress of Nagas as one people, one nation.” “It would also be a meaningful platform to highlight the history of Naga initiativewayhunsage,stated.byweignorantorofmovementnational/politicalbecausemanythestudentcommunitygenerationtoday,areofourhistoryandbelieveitmustbeknowneveryNaga”,MoayangerInthesolidaritymesNSFpresidentKegTeplaudedtheofDNSUand said such activities should be conducted in order to broaden the minds of the students.Pointing out that Na gas were not confused but were distinct and their his tory was “very clear”, Keg wayhun he urged upon the younger generation by say ing that it was time for them to come together in order to unite the Nagas as one. He also informed that NSF has directed all federa tion units and sub-units to observe “Naga Indepen dence Day” on August 14.

“Tribal Leaders of the Free dom Struggle” published by the Amar Chitra Katha’s Pvt. Ltd., Manipur’s war hero Paona Brajabashi is list ed among the tribal leaders of India’s freedom struggle. Amar Chitra Katha published the comic book under the Union ministry of culture in connection with the 75th year of India’s independence.Theprotest of the JSCC is at a time when various sections of the so cieties in the state expressed strong resentment over the wrong portrayal of the war hero of Manipur as a tribal freedom fighter of India’s freedom struggle. During JSCC’s protest, they as serted that Manipur was an independent kingdom before the invasion by the British. The last war of Manipur’s independence was fought in 1891 and the wars fought with the invading British had nothing to do with the In dian freedom struggle. JSCC convener S Bidyananda said that Paona Brajabashi was a war hero of Manipur who laid down his life in the Anglo-Manipur War of 1891 and his patriotic act was not related in any way with the freedom movement of India. Paona Brajabashi was the commander of Mani puri soldiers who fought against the invading Brit ish at Khongjom, present day Thoubal district, the infamous last battle of Ma nipur’s BrajabashiofasfoughtManipur’sremembererstwhileofBritishbravelyIndiamergeddependentthis,ManipurTheindependence.Britishinvadedin1891.BeforeManipurwasaninkingdomandwiththeUnionofonlyin1949,hestated.“Ourforefathersfoughtagainsttheinvadingfortheprotectionthesovereigntyofthekingdom.WestillthelastwarofindependenceagainsttheBritishtheAnglo-ManipurWar1891,”hesaid.Paonasacrificedhislife while taking a major role in the war to defend the sover eignty of Manipur, he said.

AGARTALA, AUG 12 (PTI): Secularism, federal structure, and rights of peo ple were “at stake” under the BJP-led government at the Centre, former Tri pura chief minister Manik Sarkar claimed on Friday. The institutions, which were created to safeguard the Constitu tion, were “under attack” with the electoral process becoming “a farce” at the hands of the saffron party, the Tripura Opposition leader said at a rally. The rally was or ganised by the Students’ Federation of India, the student wing of CPI(M), and the Tribal Students’ Federation.“TheElection Com mission of India is a selfgoverned body established by the Constitution of India. It is supposed to cre ate a level playing ground for all the political par ties. There should not be discrimination against any political party be it the ruling party or opposi tion. Nowadays, election has become a farce at the hands of the BJP as people in power are using money and muscle power”, the CPI (M) leader claimed. In a reference to BJP national president J P Nad da’s recent speech in Patna, Sarkar said according to the BJP leader, there is no need to have regional or smaller political parties in the country.“Itisnothing but a re flection of the BJP leader’s fascist attitude”, the Leader of Opposition in Tripura AssemblyClaimingsaid.that the Lok Sabha has turned into a ‘stage for puppet show’,
Constitutional values ‘at stake’ under BJP rule: Manik Sarkar Sarkar said 15-16 Bills are passed in the lower house in a day during BJP rule. “What is happen ing? There is no scope for discussion on these Bills. It is an attempt to attack the foundation of Parlia mentary democracy”, the CPI (M) politburo member said.Heaping praise on the SFI and the TSF for organising the ‘Save Con stitution’ rally, the former chief minister called upon the students and youth to raise their voices to uphold the constitutional values in the country.“Itwas not only the mission of the freedom fighters to get India liber ated from the British but also to form a country where there will be no economic and political disparity. Unfortunately, this is not fulfilled yet”, the Left leader said.Manik Sarkar

They (state government of ficials) have only powerpoint presentation and papers were not ready. I am not happy with the presentation and without papers how can we review. I have to submit my reports to the concerned department and this is very essential to provide me with the hard copies of the presen tation,” a visibly upset Tudu told journalists.TheUnion Minister went to his room at Hotel Pinewood. Later the state government officials rushed to his room and requested him to return for the review meeting.

React ing to a query that the state government has been able to complete only “ 40 per cent of JJM ‘’ project so far, Tudu said, “The target is to achieve 100 per cent implementation by March, 2024. The national average is around 50 per cent but the aim is to achieve 100 per cent by March, 2024.” He said that steps are being taken in order to ac complish the goal and urged the State government to work in coordination with the Centre to achieve the tar get.

Nitish Kumar’s decision to form govt ‘slap on BJP’s face: Tejashwi
Hadsought4centralcabinetberthsin2019,BJPdidnotagree:Nitish
NEW DELHI, AUG 12 (PTI): The “government’s rich friends” are getting ‘gajak’ through tax reliefs, write-offs and exemptions worth crores while the poor are getting only small assistance as ‘revris’, the Congress alleged Friday targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Last month, the prime minister, after inaugurat ing the Bundelkhand Ex pressway in Uttar Pradesh, cautioned people against what he called the “revri culture” of offering freebies for garnering votes and said it is “very dangerous” for the development of the country.He used ‘revris’, a popular north Indian sweet often distributed during festivals, as a metaphor for freebies being promised by various parties to grab power and said the people, especially the youth, should guard against it. Hitting back at the prime minister, Congress spokesperson Gaurav Val labh asked why were “bank loans worth Rs 5.8 lakh crore were written off in the last five years” and why was “corporate tax worth Rs 1.45 lakh crore reduced”. He said while small assistance given to the poor and oppressed classes to tide in tough times are ‘revris’, the “freebies given to the rich” were like ‘ga jak’, which were way more than those given to the needy.“We are against the ‘jhooth ki gathri’ (bundle of lies) culture. We are not against holding the hands of citizens during bad times,” Vallabh said. He cited various proj ects such as giving 100-day employment to every rural household under MGN REGA, mid-day meals by which “12 crore children are getting food”, and the Food Security Act because of which “60 per cent In dians got free ration dur ing the pandemic”, saying these welfare schemes are showing“Weresults.arenot against MSP for farmers, we don’t consider that ‘muft ki revri’. We consider those as hand holding, making them a partner in the growth story of our“Wecountry.areagainst ‘muft ki gajak’ which the Gov ernment of India is giving by way of corporate tax cuts, causing a loss of Rs 5.8 lakh crore to the exche quer when public sector banks transferred Rs 7.27 lakh crore in loans written off. We are against this, not against empowering people,” he told reporters.

NEW DELHI, AUG 12 (PTI): A group of people who are HIV positive have been protesting outside the National AIDS Control Or ganisation (NACO) office here for the past 20 days alleging shortage of certain antiretroviral (ARV) drugs even as the government maintains there is no scar city at the state or national level.The government re cently told Lok Sabha that there is adequate stock of ARV medicines nationally for around 95 per cent of people living with HIV in India.
“Please do not ask me such questions, I have said many times that I harbour no such ambitions. I want to serve my state,” Kumar asserted, with folded hands, replying to journalists who asked whether the people of Bihar could one day see him as the prime minister. How ever, when asked what role he saw for himself in forg ing unity among disjointed opposition parties, Kumar said, “Our role will be posi tive. I have been receiving many telephone calls. It is my wish that all come to gether (against the BJP-led NDA). You will see some action in the days to come.”
PATNA, AUG 12 (PTI): Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Friday main tained that he had no prime ministerial ambitions but said he was looking forward to play a “positive” role in forging opposition unity against the ruling NDA at the Centre.Kumar also made light of apprehensions of “mis use” of the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Enforcement Directorate against the new dispensation in Bihar, which has achieved power after ousting the BJP, and said “those habituated to misuse will face public ire”.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Friday said he had decided against JD(U) joining the government at the Centre, after the BJP’s refusal to his demand for four minis terial berths in 2019. He also asserted that the induction of his former close aide RCP Singh last year did not have his consent. “I had said in 2019 that we should get at least four berths. We had 16 MPs, they had just one more from Bihar. Agreeing to anything less than that would have sent a bad message in Bihar from where they had inducted five people. They refused so we did not join,” Kumar said. Asked about BJP leaders’ contention that his consent was sought before the induction of Singh, the CM said “it is untrue”.

Small assistance for poor ‘revri’: Cong slams PM SAYS GOVERMENT’S RICH FRIENDS GETTING ‘GAJAK’ NEW DELHI, AUG 12 (PTI):
The protestors are al leging complete unavail ability of certain drugs including those for children living with HIV and ran dom shifting to another class of drugs for most of the patients.Theysay if the drugs do not become available in the next few weeks, this will lead to serious com plications in HIV-affected people.“Dolutegravir 50 Mg is the backbone of the Na tional AIDS Control Pro gramme and since April the drug is not available at almost all individual anti retroviral therapy (ART) centres across the country. “We have written multiple letters to State AIDS Control Society and NACO and health ministry, mentioning the shortage of this life-saving drug but there has been no response. Besides, DTG, another drug TL is also not avail able,” one of the protesters said.

Vallabh said, “Why are small amounts of assis tance given to the poor are freebies or ‘revri’, while the freebies that the rich friends get all the time through low tax rates, write offs and exemptions are categorized as ‘necessary incentives’ (gajak)?”When will there be a discussion on bank loan waivers to big corporates and the cut in corporate taxes, he posed. The Congress leader claimed that of the Rs 9.92 lakh crore loans written off by banks in the last five years, Rs 7.27 lakh crore is the share of public sector banks. The government, he added, has admitted in Parliament that of the amount written off by it only Rs 1.03 lakh crore was recovered.Assuming that the re covery from the written-off loan will increase to 20 per cent in the coming time, public sector banks will have not recovered Rs 5.8 lakh crore, Vallabh said. “When will there be a discussion on freebies of Rs 5.8 lakh crore given by the public sector banks in the last five years?”

Ground auditions were elaborate - a detailed ‘Personal Profile’, made one cogitate on numerous aspects of per sonal life. The MCQ-test had 20 questions. I got shortlisted. Similar such exercises had been conducted elsewhere resulting in about 4000 auditions. The audio-visual audition with the KBC-team went off well. Providence apart, I resolved attending to even unknown callers. Meanwhile, I blocked numerous spam-scamming and phishing URL messages offer ing hefty rewards and a seat at the FFF-round. An unknown number called again. A gentle man identifying himself from KBC informed that I had been selected for the FFF-round. Cautiously, I suggested that I would call back on his number to verify his credentials. He agreed, adding, “Sir, we do not ask for any OTPs etc.” He ex pounded a series of instructions about KBC - dates on which travel to Mumbai is required; details of costumes; videocall a friend, companions etc. Wiser after the technical glitch earlier, we jotted down the details. Before disconnecting he mentioned that team-KBC would, from that time onwards keep calling to coordinate other aspects. Preparatory interac tions regarding costumes were elaborate and participants and their companions were to carry at least 8-9 sets of pre-approved costumes.

Bridging the Gaps –the Kaun Banega Corepati opportunity
End of a dream Workers Union and Pensioners Union, Na galand Pulp & Paper Co, Ltd (NPPCL) Tuli under the aegis of Joint Action Committee (JAC) have agreed to ‘postpone’ their indefinite blockade on NH 61 starting August 12, 2022 till the workers were paid their pending salaries/wages with effect from August 2017 till date. The mill workers have been left to fend for themselves for decades by the negligent erstwhile Hindustan Paper Corporation Ltd. and by extension the centre and even the state government. The paper mill was a gift from the gov ernment of India after ceasefire was declared with the Naga political group (NNC/FGN) in 1964, and as a commitment to ensure rapid industrial development to wean people of Nagaland away from violence. The project was then incorporated as Nagaland Pulp and Paper Company (NPPC) Limited in 1971. This was first and only large and medium unit in the State of Nagaland and the first paper mill in the central public sector in the North Eastern region. It generated great hope and enthusiasm among the people of Nagaland. NPPC is a joint venture where the Government of India holds 95% share and state government holds 5% share. NPCC started commercial production from July 1982. However, due to lack of power supply and problems from outdated second-hand boilers, the mill went on incurring loss and finally limped to a halt from October, 1992.Not only workers and suppliers but also thousands of people in Tuli who had grown bamboo over hundreds of acres of land were left in the lurch. The local people donated 700 acres of land for the mill and housing colonies in Tuli area of Nagaland. Around 126 sq. kilometers of bamboo forest land was purchased for captive plantation and was leased to NPCC. Water from river Melak was harnessed for water supply to the Mill. In anticipation of demand from the mill, large scale bamboo plantation took place in private lands. It may be recalled that after decades of negotiations to revive the sick mill by the state gov ernment and the former MPs, the UPA-I government finally agreed to revive the sick (or dead) mill through a package in 2007. Then Union Commerce Minister Jairam Ramesh announced a Rs.600 crore revival package for the sick NPPC Ltd Tuli during his visit to Mokokchung town as part of the town’s Golden Jubi lee Celebration on December 1, 2007. This was the best ever Christmas gift to Nagaland and it seemed that the mill will begin to churn out thousand metric tons of high-quality paper that its imported machines could produce. However, when the process for revival of the mill began, the employees started the move for payment of arrears which was not in consonance with the BIRF stipulation that those laid off can only be given arrears if it was stipulated in the reconstruction and also if only any revival package included payment of such arrears. According to NPPC, the employees were asked to accept pay structure as on 1997, which was refused. The mill was also overstaffed with over three hundred employees who turned the mill into a white elephant. Any money pumped towards the functioning of the mill appeared to be following the law of diminishing returns, in economic parlance. The last payment was made in 2017 from the revival package. The only way out is for the state government to take the call on taking a clear, transparent and acceptable decision through consultations with experts.

Why are you fearful, O you of little faith? —Matthew 8:26 When we are afraid, the least we can do is pray to God. But our Lord has a right to expect that those who name His name have an underlying confidence in Him. God expects His children to be so confident in Him that in any crisis they are the ones who are reliable. Yet our trust is only in God up to a certain point, then we turn back to the elementary panic-stricken prayers of those people who do not even know God. We come to our wits’ end, showing that we don’t have even the slightest amount of confidence in Him or in His sovereign control of the world. To us He seems to be asleep, and we can see nothing but giant, breaking waves on the sea ahead of us. “…O you of little faith!” What a stinging pain must have shot through the disciples as they surely thought to themselves, “We missed the mark again!” And what a sharp pain will go through us when we suddenly realize that we could have produced complete and utter joy in the heart of Jesus by remaining absolutely confident in Him, in spite of what we were facing. There are times when there is no storm or crisis in our lives, and we do all that is humanly possible. But it is when a crisis arises that we instantly reveal upon whom we rely. If we have been learning to worship God and to place our trust in Him, the crisis will reveal that we can go to the point of breaking, yet without breaking our confidence in Him. We have been talking quite a lot about sancti fication, but what will be the result in our lives? It will be expressed in our lives as a peaceful resting in God, which means a total oneness with Him. And this oneness will make us not only blameless in His sight, but also a profound joy to Him. (From previous issue...) I n 1990, there was direct fight for leadership in Janata Dal between Devilal supported Laloo Prasad and V.P. Singh supported Ram Sunder Das. Das had an edge over Laloo, but at the last moment Chadrashekhar sup ported Raghunath Jha jumped into fray spurring some upper caste MLAs, who were loyal to Dasji. Nitish Kumar and Sharad Yadav were instrumental in favour of Laloo Prasad, a Yadav, who was elected leader and sworn in as the CM (10.03.1990 to 25.07.1997). Due to technical reason President’s Rule was in force since 28.03.1995 to 4.5.1995. For his involvement in Fodder Scam, Laloo Prasad had no way other than to step down. Laloo surprised everyone, when he put for ward his house-wife Rabri Devi for the post of CM. Rabri Devi was elected the leader of the legislature party and in its history, Bihar saw its first women CM (27.7.1997 to 2.3.2002). Although, for short time President’s Rule have been imposed since 11.02.1999 to 9.3.1999. In the general election of 2000, no single party secured majority. Gov ernor Vinod Narayan Pandey invited Nitish Kumar, a Kurmi, (3.3.2000 to 10.3.2000) to form the government, but he could not succeed to gather majority mark and resigned within 7 days. Rabri Devi was once again sworn in as the CM with the support of the Congress, whose all legislatures got ministerial berth and its leader Sadanand Singh was chaired as Vidhan Sabha speaker. In the general election held in February 2005, no party got a clear majority. Ram Vilas Paswan’s Party, LJP was in position of king maker, but he takes “Na Lenge, Na Denge” policy on the question to support any of the two alliances. Rabri Devi had to resign and President’s Rule was imposed on 7th March 2005. At last, Ram Vilas’s Party broke up and a large chunk of its legislatures joined Nitish’s Party JD(U). In the November 2005 election, JD(U)-BJP alliance got an absolute majority and Nitish Kumar (24.11.2005 to 22.05.2014 and 22.02.2015 uptill now) was elected leader of the alliance and sworn in as the CM. In the November 2010 election, JDU-BJP alliance again got landslide majority winning 203 of the total 243 seats and Nitish Kumar continued. In 2013, during the Goa session of the BJP working committee meeting, the then Gujarat CM Naren dra Modi was made the chairman of the Party Campaign committee, with an indication that he would lead the Party (and also NDA !) after the Lok Sabha election. This angered Nitish Kumar and he broke his ties with the BJP and all the ally ministers were dropped. Nitish continue as CM with 118 JDU and 4 independent MLAs; but in the 2014 Lok Sabha general elec tion, his Party lost badly and got just two seats. Taking moral responsibility, he resigned on 17th May 2014 and his surprising choice Jitan Ram Manjhi, a Mushar, was elected as the leader. Manjhi was sworn in as CM on 22th May 2014. Manjhi had no control over the administration; progress works, ini tiated by Nitish, slowed down and im age of the Party began to deteriorate. There was a strong demand from the agrived legislatures for Nitish to lead the government. Seeing himself in the midstream Manjhi revolted; but with no support in the party, he had to resign on 20 February 2015. On 22 February 2015, Nitish Kumar was sworn in as CM. He had to seek the support of Laloo’s Party RJD, having 22 MLAs, as a dozen MLAs of his party stood behind Manjhi. In the November 2015 general election, faced with the four parties NDA, Nitish Kumar joined hands with his close friend-turned-arch rival Laloo Prasad and the Congress to form Maha-Gathbandhan (MG). In the amidst of a tight battle between Narendra Modi and Nitish Kumar, the Maha-Gathbandhan secured 178 seats, while the NDA was shrinked at just 58 seats. As leader of MG, Nitish was sworn in as CM, which was his 5th term in the office. In 2017, when name of the Deputy CM Tejaswi Yadav, son of Laloo Prasad, figured in corruption case, Nitish advised him to come out of the government until he got a clean cheat; but Tejaswi did not do so and Laloo Prasad started criticizing the CM. To save the image of the government, Nitish Kumar and his Party came out from MG on 26 July 2017. High voltage drama was witnessed throughout the night and BJP supported Nitish, who was sworn in as CM for the 6th time on 27th July 2017 along with BJP and LJP. In the Ministry, Pashupati Kumar Paras, younger brother of Ram Vilas Paswan, was also inducted. In the 2020 Vidhan Sabha elec tion, there was a close fight between the two alliances NDA (JDU-BJPHAM-VIP) and MG (RJD-CongressCommunist groups), in which national parties BJP & Congress has grabbed more seats in comparison to the previ ous elections. In reality, the fight was not “NDA vs MG”, but was “Nitish vs All”. Nitish Kumar was the solo target of not only opposition and Liquor Mafia, but BJP’s core voters and TRP thirsty electronic media channels. The LJP parted ways with the NDA with a solo motto of “Finish Nitish” and fought on seats of JDU only with BJP background candidates. In JDU’s con stituencies the BJP’s upper caste voters aggressively rallied behind the LJP and on some seats MG too to weaken Nit ish. Although NDA crossed majority marks of 122, with the BJP securing 74 as against earlier 59 seats; but the JDU was reduced from 71 to only 43 seats due to betrayal of its own ally’s core voters. As per the pre-poll strategy, Nitish Kumar, being the leader of the NDA became the 34th CM of Bihar; whose 7th times oath for the highest post is a record in Bihar. With above deceit, day to day criticism and an ef fort to break-up the allied party by BJP, JDU ultimately broke its alliance with NDA and formed the government with Mahagathbandhan on 10th August 2022 and took oath 8th times for the CM. Nitish Kumar had set record of serving the Bihar state as its CM for the longest period of over 15 success ful years. There have been numerous ups and downs in the history of power politics in Bihar since independence. But resultant change was the downfall of national parties dominated by upper castes and the upsurge of regional parties dominated by backward classes. People experimented various Parties, alliances, personalities in the labora tory of election for want of overhaul ing of the rusty system. Rise and fall of numerous stalwarts and political heavyweights took place. But, time and again, the dream of the People has been shattered, and journey of the democracy is still going on.

A fter every State As sembly general election, a new government is formed to govern the State of Nagaland for five years accord ing to the Constitution of India. The primary and mandatory duty of the very established government is to take care of the welfare in respect of healthcare, education, basic amenities such as electricity, drinking water, food security, etc. for the citizens of the State. It is mandatory for the ministry to preserve, protect and maintain the existing prop erties and assets of the State. It is also the duty of the ministry to bring new and innovative de velopments to Nagaland at par with the rest of the other States in the country. It is supposed to be the endeavor of the Govt. to make Nagaland self-reliant after all it has been in its 59th year of Statehood and being the second oldest State in the NE India. Besides, it is mandatory for the Govt. to have the ac countability to the citizens and transparency in governance. The written directives and guidelines for governance in re spect of Legislature, Executive and Judiciary so enshrined in the Rules of Executive Business which is the bible for the trans action of any public business is supposed to be adhered to by both the elected and appointed authorities in the Govt. The Govt. is duty bound to enforce the rule of law and to ensure that favoritism, nepotism and injustice are disallowed to have its foothold in the land. Such Govt. is expected to be proactive in enforcing the dis ciplinary rules so as to check mate corrupt practices and promote deliverance of justice to the people. So long as the established Govt. performs to the general satisfaction of the public, the citizens in Nagaland are supposed to remain loyal to the authorities in that Govt. In Bible, Romans Chapter 13:1-7 admonishes the people as to how each individual citizen of the State must have allegiance to that authority who governs the State since that authority has been established by God. Being Christians, we, the citi zens of Nagaland, are supposed to be more ardent in submitting ourselves to the established authority in obedience to God. Nevertheless, when the present Govt. is found to be anti-people as it has totally lost sense of care and concern for the people of the State of Naga land, one is virtually perplexed as to whether one keeps the tol erance and allows the perpetra tor to continue suppressing the bona fide citizens for no fault of theirs. The question arises as to whether the prevailing system of allowing the rulers to destroy both the present and the future of the generations is the kind of democracy the people had voted for? Should people have unconditional allegiance to the very Govt. which treats the wellbeing of the citizens to be secondary to one’s personal interest?The specific instances of misgovernance and the mag nitude of corruptions are too obvious and numerous to com pile in a single write up. Yet, to substantiate the contention, let me cite few examples. Firstly, look at how the 4-laneDimapurKohima road has been stalled. 50% of the total distance has been in shambles as the road is almost abandoned. Despite, who is the elected member who has shown concern or which bureaucrat has taken interest for improvement and progress of the road. Thanks to the Justices of Kohima High Court who are having immense concern for maintenance and early completion of the project. Secondly, look at the pitiable condition of the infrastructural developments of the Kohima High Court. The funds meant for the High Court project were plundered in broad daylight, and yet no authority including CBI could do anything since the corrupts are immune from punitive laws. Thirdly, look at how the infrastructural develop ments of the Medical College at Kohima which has been mis managed from the start of the project till date. It is doubtful as to whether this project can ever become a Medical College. Fourthly, Look at the 16 years old State Stadium in Dimapur. This Dimapur Stadium has become the Colosseum (the Amphitheater) in Rome which attracts thousands of visitors, and yet in our case it should attract NIA, CBI, etc. Adding to miserable failures in the completion of projects after projects, the Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has said that Nagaland has a debt of Rs.15,620.8 crore. What a governance when its employees are not paid of their salary even for a year now in certain Department. These few instances are to say the least. Whereas, in respect of delivering justice in gover nance, there has been rampant nepotism and favoritism. Due to large scale anomalies and discriminations, the Govt. employees are forced to seek justice from courts. The solid evidence of injustices meted out to the people of Nagaland is that 99% of court cases filed in Kohima High Court are against the UDA Govt. as divulged by a sitting judge on 22.5.2022. When even the Govt. employees have been facing discrimination and the recent agitation of the staff of the Nagaland Assembly Secretariat is one of such evidences, the fate of the general public can be imagined. In democracy, the welfare of the people is supreme. Therefore, the priority of any established Govt. is the welfare of the general public. Whereas, during the last two decades, care for the public welfare by the Govt. of Naga land has slipped to rock bottom. Individualism and selfishness have topped the list that led to unabated corruption to the extent of privatizing the Govt. offices and Departments. With due respect to a very few God fearing authorities/employees, the elected members and the ap pointed employees have formed a strong syndicate to collective ly loot and plunder the public exchequer brazenly without any respect of the law of the land. These looters and plunderers have particularly destroyed the system of governance and the most pathetic victim being the young children of school drop outs in thousands. Nagaland is ruinedThetoday.former President of Sri Lanka Gotabaya Rajapaksa was ousted from office by the general public recently because he miserably failed to take care of the welfare of the people of his country. Due to his corrup tion, the country’s economy plummeted to food scarcity. Very fortunately for the rulers in Nagaland, the bona fide inhabitants are proved to be the most timid and venal lot with due regard to honest few. Had it been not so, who, the general public, would remain silent when the people are informed of sitting upon a bombshell of debt of Rs.15,620 crores and the Finance Dept. stopping the release of regular salaries to its employees at the moment. Thus, when the State Govt. becomes the sole creator of miseries for the citizens of Nagaland, it is indeed the li ability of the State. What is then the remedy? The State of Nagaland can be healed with only one medicine. There is no other alternative as for Nagaland’s healing is concerned. That is the Naga political solution. The political solution is indispensable. Here, the GoI knows it too well that solution will be the answer to several, if not every, problems adversely impacting the lives of the people in Nagaland. However, due to reasons best known to GoI, the solution has been inordinately delayed. The promise made to the people of Nagaland that “election (is) for solution” by BJP in 2018 is con veniently ignored. Nevertheless, as for the bona fide citizens of Nagaland, whether solution or no solution, we have to survive, and therefore let us not forget the big promise of BJP. I wonder as to whether the GoI has a mind to preserve Nagaland as it is, the most corrupt State in the country, as a specimen and a module of lawlessness. The BJP as a politi cal party always claims to be the champion of transparency and probity in governance. The BJP is the alliance partner of NDPP in Nagaland, ruling the State for several years now. The BJP is relentless in using the law enforcing Govt. agencies against/in booking the suspects of corrupt politicians, bureau crats and business people across the country in its fight against corruption. Yet, the BJP allows its Govt. in Nagaland to indulge in all anti-people activities. The double standard policy of BJP is that it exhibits that it does not tolerate misgovernance and corruption in other States and yet it permits massive misgovernance under its rule in Nagaland. The BJP cannot claim that it is the second fiddle to its partner NDPP in gover nance as it has 6 Cabinet Min isters as against 4 from NDPP. Therefore, all the anti-people activities have been committed in Nagaland at the nose of the BJP leaders in Delhi and yet they prefer remaining indiffer ent to the plight of the people in Nagaland. Does BJP consider its electoral prospects more important than giving peace to the people of Nagaland? Z. Lohe
D uring childhood, I had watched various Quiz shows on Doordarshan but the auditions never reached us at small-town Dharamshala in Himachal Pradesh. Sony En tertainment Television’s knowl edge-based Kaun Banega Crore pati (KBC), Amitabh Bachchan and Information Technology revolution decentralised partici pation and rekindled my hopes too. Intermittent ‘sms-answers’ meant that success remained elusive. Come 2022, I sent the responses again. One morning, the mobile rang. With scam and spam calls being a norm, it was providen tial that I answered. It was an Interactive Voice Response call introducing itself as being from KBC. I answered three questions. A caveat followed – “if shortlisted, you would be contacted again.” A fort night later, another call came through informing me about being shortlisted for ground auditions - Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ) and audiovisual interview, at Kolkata. The caller indicated a venue but under the impression that the call was being recorded, I did not jot-down the exact venue. When I tried to listen to the recording, it was garbled. I thought an opportunity of a lifetime had been squandered. Technology is, after all fallible. Friends at Kolkata helped and emails to the organizers, confirmed the venue and dates.

Ups & downs of power politics in Bihar
A coordinator asked for photographs of costumes and I ‘Whatsapped’ whatever I had in my wardrobe. I have an extremely poor and awkward sense of clothing and attire, sometimes bordering on em barrassment, and was happy to transfer this burden off to my better-attired wife. Finally we were off for Mumbai – my wife from Delhi and I from Nagaland. Once at Mumbai, the organizers collected the costumes. A ‘cluster’ compris ing ten participate over four episodes. Organizers decide the costumes each contestant and companion wears for a particularOnceshoot/episode.ready,thepartici pants were shepherded to the ‘studio’ for ‘mock’ FFF-practice before every shoot. During ‘mock’, the realisation dawned that FFF is the most difficult yet the most important step. Pitted against youngsters, with nim bler reflexes, my own handicap came to the fore. The distance between FFF and ‘Hot-seat’ is dependent on proficiency in reading skills, speed, quick reac tion and accuracy all bundled in every attempt. The scope for an error and correction is narrowa modification though possible is not a viable option - loss of valuable seconds means a certain quitclaim of ‘Hot-seat’. Our cluster was a window into a country of diverse dreams and aspirations – from an IITIIM graduate to a content writer-cum-blogger, a social media influencer and a private sector executive on the one hand to a teacher-cum-tourist guide, an employee of a High Court, a home-maker on the other, all split between an IPS officer and a young police con stable. Besides the opportunity to earn a quick buck at the game of knowledge, aspira tions were varied too – owning a start-up, paying-off family debts, children’s education, in creased visibility as an outcome of being on the ‘hot-seat’, to owning a ‘scooty’ and for me personally the opportunity of living a dream and bringing an isolated Nagaland to the nationalTwomainstream.episodesdone, the hot-seat remained elusive. Slow er reflexes resulted in mounting tension. My wife pep-consoled me that I had proved myself 30-years back - qualifying the prestigious UPSC, but zindagi har kadam ik nayi jung hai. Fear of failure and public rebuke for not getting to the ‘hot-seat’ were palpable. For many, an IPS officer is an omniscient being, not an imperfect human. At the fourth FFF, I was the quickest reacting with a child like “Yeaaahhhh!” Attaining the ‘Hot-seat’ was a moment of unparalleled euphoria and re lief! The episode had Amitabh Bachchan’s grace, professional ism and humility writ all over. Feeling absolutely at ease on the hot-seat, the moments shared with him and the KBC-crew will remain vibrant memories for the rest of our lives – my wife and me. Some hits and regrets though – the latter squarely at tributable to my being unable to continue beyond what I achieved. First, what I achieved was pitch-forking Nagaland onto the national main-stagehopefully this would propel my friends, colleagues, well-wishers and ordinary Nagas to connect with something at the national level. I was representing Na galand more than myself – the fact that Amitabh Bachchan adorned a Naga scarf during the episode would make Nagas and people from the north-east India proud. Hopefully, many more KBC-contestants from Nagaland and north-east would emerge in the coming days. Next - the misses and regrets. First was the disappoint ment at not joining the Cro repati-club – an immensely difficult question took me down. However, by the time this happened, I had a decent opportunity of recounting some achievements and narrating what the ‘Indian Reformative Institutions’ and the prison and police personnel had achieved. Had I continued, I would have utilised the occasion to let the country know about the ocean of diversity which India is –“Bharat Dhaara” – that Nagas and north-eastern people are not ‘chinkies’ but proud Indians and creating and propagat ing stereotypes in a large and diverse landmass and people can be damaging. Misconcep tions about most north-eastern tribes and Nagas being beef or ‘dog-meat eaters’ are true, yet misimpressions too. Not all Nagas are dog-meat or beefeaters and there are many who love dogs and animals as much as we do. However, a degree of freedom in eating habits has to be acknowledged and tolerated by the mainstream too. Another misconception is that Nagas are ‘head-hunters’. Doubtless, they were proud head-hunters but have given up head-hunting in 1950s. They still pride them selves being called valorous head-hunters, something which many ignorant Indians still feel is true. They are not barbarians! Most North-Eastern trib als and Nagas are as much humane as the rest of us. Last but not the least a message that Nagas are honest, large-hearted and extend unpar alleled love and hospitality to guests and friends needs to be disseminated. The opportunity lost was not merely monetary but in national integration too. Yes, the primary motivation may have been money but ‘there are certain things money cannot buy’ – love, affection and lost opportunities.Hopefully, this piece would fill that void. Rupin Sharma

KOLKATA, AUG 12 (PTI): Rallies and coun ter rallies over the arrest of TMC leader Anubrata Mondal in a cattle smug gling case kept West Ben gal’s political cauldron on the boil on Friday with the state’s ruling party question ing the impartiality of the probe agency and the oppo sition camps celebrating the triumph of “good over evil”.

On the overall situation around Taiwan, Bagchi said India is for de-escalation of the tensions and pitched for efforts to maintain peace and stability in the region. “Like many other countries, India too is con cerned at recent develop ments,” he said. “We urge the exercise of restraint, avoidance of unilateral actions to change status quo, de-escalation of tensions and efforts to maintain peace and stability in the region,” Bagchi said. He further said: “In dia’s relevant policies are well-known and consistent.

NEW DELHI, AUG 12 (PTI): India on Friday described as “most uncalled for” China blocking a proposal at the UN Security Council to designate Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) deputy chief Abdul Rauf Azhar as a global Reactingterrorist.toChina’s move, Ex ternal Affairs Ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said India has noted with “regret” that a “technical hold” has been placed on the proposal, add ing the international community has been unable to speak in one common voice in fighting terrorism. He asserted that New Delhi will continue to pursue its principled po sition of bringing such terrorists to justice.“It is unfortunate that when it comes to our collective battle against terrorism, the international community has been unable to speak in one com mon voice,” Bagchi said. China on Wednesday put techni cal hold on the joint proposal at the UN Security Council by India and the US to designate the JeM leader, who is the younger brother of the group’s chief Masood Azhar. All other 14 member states of the top UN body supported the proposal. Bagchi said Abdul Rauf is the deputy chief of JeM which is a UN pro scribed entity. He was actively involved in terrorist strikes such as the hijacking of Indian airlines IC 814 in 1999, the attack on the Indian Parliament in 2001 and on an Indian Army camp in Kathua in 2014. “He has been proscribed under Indian and US laws already, and there fore the placing of the ‘technical hold’ against such wanted terrorist is most uncalled for,” Bagchi said. The designation of Abdul Rauf would have resulted in a global travel ban on him as well as requiring Paki stan to freeze his assets. and to cut off his access to weapons and related materials.“India will continue pursuing its principled position of bringing these terrorists to justice, including through the UNSC 1267 Sanctions regime,” Bagchi said. He also referred to com ments by Ruchira Kamboj, India’s Permanent Representative to the UN in New York, during an open debate at the UN Security Council on August 9. Kamboj said there should be no double standards in dealing with ter rorists and that the practice of placing holds and blocks without giving any justification must end. She said it is most regrettable that genuine and evidence-based listing proposals pertaining to some of the most notorious terrorists in the world are being placed on hold. Kamboj said double standards and continuing politi cisation have rendered the credibility of the sanctions regime at an all-time low, Bagchi quoted her as saying.

AL Chief Sheikh Hasina has asked her party leaders and work ers to fight against any such conspiracies to create unrest and trouble in the country such as BNP -Ja maat’s targeted bombing on public buses and attack on law enforcers back in 2013 when the party boy cotted the election and later carried out such violent attacks both to foil the war crimes’ trial and bring down the Hasina-led gov ernment.These threats from prominent BNP leaders comes within a month fol lowing an earlier warning by BNP’s Volunteer Wing Secretary, who threatened Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina with “a re peat of 1975,” referring to the massacre of her entire family in a military coup at that time.Such repeated threats by the BNP have com pelled the Bangladesh Home Ministry to take a serious view because the month of August evokes grim memories of the 1975 coup that killed the whole family of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founder of the country and ‘Father of the Nation’. Sheikh Mujibur Rah man’s daughters Sheikh Hasina and Sheikh Rehana survived the attack as they were protected by the then Indian Prime Minister In dira Gandhi.
SEOUL, AUG 12 (AP): Samsung’s de-facto leader secured a pardon Friday of his conviction for bribing a former president in a corrup tion scandal that toppled a previous South Korean gov ernment, an act of leniency that underscored the tech company’s huge influence in theLeenation.Jae-yong’s pardon is partially symbolic since he was released on parole a year ago after serving 18 months of a prison term that would have ended in July, and critics say the billionaire has remained in control of Samsung even while behind bars. Still, the pardon will allow the heir to the elec tronics juggernaut to fully resume his management du ties and could make it easier for the company to pursue investments and mergers. The Justice Ministry said President Yoon Suk Yeol, who as a prosecutor investigated the corruption scandal involving Lee, will issue the pardon Monday, a national holiday when some 1,700 people are set to receive clemency, including other top business leaders. Lee, 54, was convicted in 2017 of bribing former President Park Geun-hye and her close confidante to win government sup port for a merger between two Samsung affiliates that tightened Lee’s control over the corporate empire. Park and the confidante were also convicted in the scan dal, which enraged South Koreans, who staged mas sive protests for months demanding an end to the shady ties between business and politics. The demonstra tions eventually led to Park’s ouster from Whileoffice.some civic groups criticized the deci sion, recent opinion polls have indicated South Kore ans - years removed from the protests in 2016 and 2017largely favored granting Lee a pardon. That reflects the continuing hold Samsung has in a country where it makes not just smartphones and TVs but also issues credit cards, builds luxury apartment buildings and runs the country’s most sought-afterBusinesshospital.leaders and politicians had also called for Lee’s pardon, which they said would allow Samsung, one of the world’s largest makers of computer mem ory chips and smartphones, to be bolder and quicker in business decisions by fully reinstating his rights to run the business empire. Justice Minister Han Dong-hoon said the pardons of the business tycoons were aimed at “overcoming the economic crisis through en couraging business activity” at a time when South Kore ans are grappling with rising prices, high personal debt and a faltering job market. Lee’s detractors say he already fully resumed his management duties once out on parole - even though South Korea’s law bans people convicted of major financial crimes from re turning to work for five years following the end of their sentences. Former Justice Minister Park Beom-kye defended Lee’s involvement in Samsung’s management, insisting that his activities weren’t in violation of the ban because the billionaire wasn’t receiving wages from Samsung.Inastatement released through Samsung, Lee said he was grateful for “receiv ing an opportunity to start anew.”
“I want to express my apologies for causing concerns for many people because of my shortcom ings. I will work even harder to fulfill my responsibilities and duties as a businessper son,” Lee said. Lee still faces a sepa rate trial on charges of stock price manipulation and au diting violations related to the 2015Amongmerger.others set to be pardoned is Lotte Group Chairman Shin Dong-bin, who received a suspended prison term in 2018 on simi lar charges of bribing Park, whom then-President Moon Jae-in pardoned in Decem ber. Chang Sae-joo, chair man of Dongkuk Steel Mill, and former STX Group Chairman Kang Duk-soo will also receive clemency. A coalition of civic groups, including People’s Solidarity for Participatory Democracy, issued a state ment criticizing the move to pardon the business leaders, accusing Yoon of cozying up to “chaebol,” referring to the family-owned conglom erates that dominate the country’s economy.

What Is an Addictive Personality? An addictive personality is a set of traits that make you more likely to develop substance use disorder or other addictions. When you have an addictive person ality, behaviors that start innocently can spiral out of control.An addictive personality isn’t a diagnosable con dition but recognizing common signs of an addictive personality can help you acknowledge or avoid problems. Read on to see if you recognize these 10 common ad dictive personality signs. You’re Impulsive Do you often make decisions without thinking about the consequences? Maybe you frequently buy more than you can afford or lose your temper. If you tend to make hasty decisions or feel out of control, you might be impulsive, and impulsivity is a common sign of an addictive personality. You’re Sensory Seeking Seeking out new or intense experiences can lead to a healthy sense of adventure — you may be more likely to travel or try new foods, for example — but it can also be part of an addictive personality. In a 2015 study, adolescents who were considered sensory seeking were significantly more likely to try addictive substances. You’re Secretive About Your Behaviors It’s normal to want privacy sometimes, but if you’re secretly indulging in behaviors you feel bad about, it may suggest an addictive personality. Secrecy is a common trait of substance use disorder but secretive behavior can also be a red flag for activities like gambling, shopping, and video games. You’re a Rebel People who march to the beat of their own drums are often natural leaders or artists. Still, non-conformists may also be more likely to engage in risky behaviors. If you struggle to follow rules — even rules you’ve set for yourself — it may be harder to keep healthy boundaries around addictive behaviors and substances. You’re Obsessive If you obsess over things and have difficulty dis tracting yourself, you may have more difficulty breaking unhealthy habits, making this an addictive personality trait.For people with obsessive-compulsive disorder, some estimates put the rate of co-occurring substance use disorder as high as 40%. You Have a History of Anxiety or Depression People with anxiety or depression are two to three times more likely to have a substance use disorder than the generalAnxietypopulation.ordepression can lead people to use ad dictive substances to try to control their symptoms - like someone with social anxiety having too many drinks.

(MedicallyReviewedbyCarmelitaSwiner,MD) You’re Reward Driven If you have a high risk, high reward attitude, you may be a natural entrepreneur, but you might also have an addictive personality. People who are reward-motivated may be more likely to engage in risky behaviors. A 2016 study showed cocaine users were more highly motivated to achieve rewards than the general population. You Have ADHD If you have ADHD, you’re two to four times more likely to develop a substance use disorder. The link between substance use disorder and ADHD continues to be studied, but brain differences that affect impulse control and reward systems likely play a role. You Have a Family History of Addiction A family history of addiction is a significant risk factor, and both genetics and environment contribute. If you have family members who struggle with addic tion, you might have inherited traits that make you moreForsusceptible.example, children of alcoholics are four times more likely to develop substance use disorder than the general population. 5 Minutes Band, in col laboration with a re nowned professional singer, song writer, actor, producer, director, com poser and an entrepreneur, Sunep Lemtur, released a new Hindi single titled, “Wrong Number” on Au gust 55.
