celebration of AHIMSA (Non-violence) by the Naga Solidarity Group On this auspicious occasion of celebration of AHIMSA (Non-violence) observe by the United Nations as International Day of Non-violence, the Naga Solidarity Group bows its head and salute the great leader and the pioneer of non-violence movement to fight against oppression and injustice. This day has a special significance for all of us because we are reminded once again of the ideal and principle of non-violence to build peaceful and just societies for ourselves and for our future generation. For the Nagas, it is also a day when we are reminded of the solemn commitment made by Mahatma Gandhi, the Father of the Nation to the delegation of Naga leaders on 19th July 1947 at Bhangi Colony, Delhi, where he said "Nagas have every right to be Independent. I believe in the brotherhood of man but I do not believe in forced unions. If you (Nagas) do not wish to join the Union of India, nobody will force you to do that. Sir, Akbar is wrong. He cannot do that. I will come to the Naga Hills; I will ask them to shoot me first before one Naga is shot". Read full :: bit.ly/1bsXhEi
