May 16 plebiscite reminds us that Naga Freedom hasn’t been forgotten

Nagas from across the world, along with well-wishers like UNPO (Unrepresented Nations and People’s Organization), and Naga International Support Centre (NISC), joined hands in commemorating the Naga Plebiscite Day on May 16, 2024, after 73 years. 

It was a red-letter day in the history of the Naga freedom struggle as the Naga Plebiscite reaffirmed Naga Independence announced on August 14, 1947. It was the day the Nagas portrayed themselves loud & clear with their thumb impressions in which 99.9% of the Nagas voted for Sovereign Naga Nation.

It was the most powerful symbol of the Naga People’s inalienable right to sovereignty. It also represents the virtue of the Nagas and ignites the flame of the irreversible political identity of the Nagas as a sovereign nation.
