As Nagaland commemorates its Statehood Day, President Droupadi Murmu extends warm greetings to the resilient and vibrant residents of this culturally rich land. Nagaland, with its unique tapestry of traditions and a wealth of natural resources, stands as a testament to the spirit and resilience of its people.
President Murmu acknowledges Nagaland’s unique position, blessed not only with a rich cultural heritage but also surrounded by a serene and picturesque environment. In her message, she conveys heartfelt prayers for the prosperity and well-being of the Nagaland community, recognizing the significance of this special occasion.
Nagaland’s journey to statehood is etched with historical significance. Initially placed under the Nagaland Transitional Provisions Regulation in 1961, the territory witnessed the establishment of an interim body comprising 45 members elected by tribes, reflecting the customs and traditions of each community. This marked a crucial step towards the realization of Nagaland as a distinct state within the Indian Union.
The turning point came with the enactment of the state of Nagaland Act in 1962 by the Parliament, formalizing Nagaland’s status as a state. On 30th November 1963, the interim body was dissolved, and the state of Nagaland was officially inaugurated on 1st December 1963, with Kohima as its capital. The subsequent elections in January 1964 led to the formation of the first democratically elected Nagaland Legislative Assembly on 11th February 1964.
“However, Nagaland’s journey to statehood was not without challenges. Rebel activities persisted in various Naga-inhabited areas, spanning both India and Burma. Despite ceasefires and negotiations, violence continued to disrupt the region. In response, in March 1975, Prime Minister Indira Gandhi imposed direct presidential rule on the state”.
In November 1975, a significant breakthrough occurred when leaders of major rebel groups agreed to lay down their arms and accept the Indian constitution. While this marked a crucial step towards peace, a small faction continued insurgent activities. Throughout this tumultuous period, the Nagaland Baptist Church Council emerged as a pivotal force, initiating peace efforts in the 1960s and playing a significant role in fostering dialogue.
