Interesting article here. Is there forced conversion happening amongst these tribes - is the news real? This is obviously the RSS at work here. But so is the Naga Church. And is the conversion creating the strife?
The Naga Christian movement is on an aggresive, expansionist mold - I do have some understanding of how it is expanding in Arunachal Pradesh and how the tribes in Arunachal find themselves in strife against each other because of the NSCN. Can anyone throw light on this? Offcourse beyond stating that the RSS should be thrown out of Assam. There are more forces at work in Assam than the RSS and we all know it. Besides throwing out the RSS is a phenomenon we understand and have discussed it to an extent. ASSAM TRIBUNE NSCN (IM) denies role in Karbi violence KOHIMA, Oct 25 The National Socialist Council of Nagaland (I-M) today refuted allegations that it was behind the recent ethnic violence in Karbi Anglong district where 89 people died and over 50,000 villagers belonging to Dimasa and Karbi communities were displaced, reports PTI. Terming the allegations as absurd and inconsistently bereft of any logical reasons, the outfit in a release received here said certain elements with ulterior motives dragged NSCN(I-M) into the clashes in order to incite hatred against the Nagas and create enmity within to launch their evil designs. Assam government, Bharatiya Janata Party, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and Assam Governor Lt Gen (retd) Ajai Singhs report to the Centre had alleged that NSCN(I-M) was behind the worst-ever ethnic strife resulted out of the turf war between Dima Halom Dauga (DHD) and United Peoples Democratic Solidarity (UPDS) militants. Stating that Nagas have no enmity either with Karbis or Dimasas as they have been living together peacefully as good neighbours, the release also dismissed Sangh Parivars allegation of forced conversion asserting that the charge did not bear an iota of truth. As Christian Nagas we do not believe in forced conversions or champion violence which are completely against our religion and a grave sin in its act, the outfit said. Describing the Karbi Anglong incidents as unfortunate, NSCN(I-M) desired that peace prevailed over evil and urged both Karbi and Dimasa tribes to sort out their differences and misunderstanding, it any, through dialogues and diplomatic approaches instead of resorting to violent means. --- Rajib Das <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Is China's public posture about crushing (and not > just > removing support) for militant groups mean anything > for the situation in our region?
