One-sided

The editorial "Peace but no common ground" (Aug. 3) is one-sided. How can we say the demand for a greater Nagaland is impossible to concede when it is based on history? If the argument is that the fulfilling of the demand will set off explosive conflicts in neighbouring States, then is it not true that the existing territorial boundaries have been drawn at the cost of Naga interests?

The UPA Government should recognise and honour the unique Naga history. If the Naga issue is not resolved now, the people of the northeast, particularly the Nagas and Manipuris, will find themselves trapped in a turmoil that will become a potential threat to India's internal security. Does New Delhi want one of its limbs bleeding permanently?

Ezekiel Peide,
New Delhi
