Kohima: The Naga Students Federation marked its 80th Naga Independence Day on August 14 at the Naga Solidarity Park in Kohima. Leadership expressed thanks to the media, churches, tribal bodies, and citizens who showed up. The event drew heavy support from civil society organizations and various well-wishers.
Educational institutions earned special praise for letting students attend. The federation believes this history lesson helped the younger generation connect with their heritage and collective aspirations. The group also thanked its subordinate bodies for organizing the turnout.
The federation praised those who followed its call to skip Indian Independence Day events in 2026. This move protested the government directive on singing the revised Vande Mataram. The NSF claims this choice reflects a commitment to religious sensitivity and personal conscience. The group maintains its stance targets principle rather than any specific nation or community.
Nagaland residents received a call to protect their identity and unity. The federation insists that every person deserves respect for their private beliefs. Closing its statement, the group urged local solidarity. "Let us continue to stand together at all times as One People, One Nation, One Destiny," the federation said.
