Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
Not very long ago in Nagaland, when there was limited or censored media, and when there was no such thing as “social media”, the function of the civil society organizations was greatly limited. Social media and other means of communication were extremely “biased”, not reporting the grievances of the victims factually. Many times, media acted as an important tool of the Government of India, revealing and broadcasting the events and issues that India wanted other people to know on the Naga political struggle. However, with the passing of time, today, in the era of Information and Technology, the Naga civil society organizations have come to occupy a fundamental position in quickly disseminating the cause of the Nagas. In fact, the Naga civil society organisations with the help of social media has been vocalising that the common Naga people cannot tolerate atrocities of the Indian security forces any longer. Today, social media and other electronic communications empower them to expose any violent inhuman action, committed either by the Indian armed forces or by the Naga revolutionaries themselves. This research article analyses on how the information provided by the Naga civil society organisations as well as the social media concerning the issue of Naga peace and reconciliation process influence the viewpoints of the Naga masses. Keywords: Communication, Information, Naga Civil Society, Reconciliation, Social Media
