Speaking at the seminar,Shri Jagdamba Mall who has been associated with Zeliangrong people for a long time touched upon many issues from Jadonang Naga Raj Movement, the Naga Movement, Heraka Movement to Rani Gaidinliu. He gave his opinion on the causes and failures of these movements and the impacts of these movements on Zeliangrong society. He opined that the Zeliangrong people have produced outstanding leaders who were well ahead of their time unlike any other Nagas who willingly sacrificed their lives for their people.
However, Zeliangrong people could not realize their dreams under Haipou Jadonang and Rani Gaidinliu because of the deep-seated internal differences within Zeliangrong society. Zeliangrong peoples’ unfulfilled visions and dreams such as the desire to be integrated under one administrative roof can only be fulfilled by the next generations if they are willing to come together by giving up their differences he said.
