Ukhrul Times publishes response to S.C. Jamir’s take on Naga political struggle

The regional daily Ukhrul Times has printed a response to S.C. Jamir’s recently released book titled “Unveiling Bare Facts of Naga Political Struggle”. The response, placed on the newspaper’s editorial page, seeks to address what the editors describe as misrepresentations of the Naga political landscape in Manipur.

In its commentary, the newspaper emphasizes the need for a balanced narrative that reflects the perspectives of Naga communities in the Ukhrul district and beyond. It points out that Jamir’s analysis, while detailed, overlooks certain historical agreements and local sentiments that continue to shape the region’s politics.

The response does not contain direct quotations from Jamir but systematically refutes several of his key arguments, urging scholars and policymakers to engage with grassroots voices before drawing conclusions. The editorial concludes by calling for continued dialogue among all stakeholders to foster a peaceful resolution to the long‑standing political issues in the Northeast.
