lest we forget - december 27, 1994 

We the Nagas, younger generation should never forget how our Forefathers were tortured, brutally killed, women were raped & houses were burnt down into ashes (tears & blood)...This is just one part of the story...there are many incidents happened in many places...& getting to know all these are so painful. Thank you Takeone Nagaland Team from my bottom of my heart for covering this...This is so genuine & the story must be told to everyone.Your work is highly appreciated.

27 dec is my birthday My dad went to buy me a gift for my birthday and all that nightmare happened but he survived. Today he is 81 and he still narrated how fortunate he was that day. From that day I stopped demanding gifts for my birthday till today.

Even the name 27th Dec gives me chills today after so many years.. No words to express what we went through

I remember being under our bed for hours with two neighbourhood kids who couldn't go back home. Their mother had gone to the nearby jungle to fetch fire wood.. Stray bullets hitting our roof. Everyone praying! Thankyou takeone. The world must know. The world must never forget!

On my way to work in the bus...my earbuds in, and I'm listening with all ears. Tears roll down.. How strong are they to even narrate the story. It occurred to me like a movie scene.. May God grant them peace.

Let the young generation not forget this for our elders have sacrificed a lot.

Thank you for documenting these stories.

Whenever I hear about this incident, I get shivers down my spine and I feel an immense pain in my heart for all the people who faced the unimaginable pain and suffering. Even if we have so much anger, forgive and move on because Tsüngremi dang mangyangtsü!

As a 7 year old..on that very day our neighbour, an uncle father of 3 was burnt alive inside a godown. He was one of it among the 5 burnt down soul's. Still it lingers and afresh in my mind. So unfortunate day it was. By God's grace our family saved 🙏 Thank you for Sharing 'The black Day' of Mokokchung People

I remember seeing black smoke rising that day from my village as a small boy…. Remaining was the horror stories i heard… thank you for documenting this.. May God heal the hearts of broken and our land. ❤

Thank u TakeOneNagaland for sharing our story... This is just a pinch of the inexplicable and unjustifiable atrocities committed on Nagas by the Indian Army but glad that the world knows now.. Wil never forget this day for sure... Forgiven or not is another thing... For the sake of the mother's and innocent souls raped and killed it is just impossible to take in what the Army did... May the souls gone find peace in our Lord...

My friend's dad was burnt inside the shop. He went to the shop to buy her baby napkins

i was there on that day, i saw the army jawans firing indiscriminately at every directions, the sound of people crying still haunts me to this day.

On this day.... I walked from Nagaland gate tsutapela to longpa village with my luggage because the blue hill bus from Guwahati was not allowed to go to Mokokchung...... What a black day it was for the people of Mokokchung.

@TakeOneNagaland Thank you so much for showing and reminding our generations the stories that have been almost forgotten! Keep uploading more stories,it needs to be heard and seen all over the world!

We Nagas are taken likely by the mighty Indians ,we suffered ,we cried ,we lost innocent souls and last we forgive bt we will never forget that dark day including the recent oting massacre .Where are we heading Nagas ,now who will be another victim only god Knows .Rest in eternal peace beloved souls ☮️🕊️🕊️🕊️

Thank you for letting the world know. The first step to awareness generation.

My daddy said he went for a haircut that day. But since the salon was full of people, he went up towards the DC Hill in search of another more vacant salon for his haircut... And that is when the incident started and my daddy quickly returned home unharmed. I was still a lil' child back then and I don't remember that incident yet it sends a cold shiver down my spine everytime I hear this story.

I remember praying for my parents from home, who were out at town. Was only 6. I think i won't die of cardiac arrest after that day. Hope many could relate. Ayatai 27th December.

Thank you for the video

I remember this event. My granny told me this story. I even wrote a poem bout it. "Voice of justice"

Our family was also one among the victim of this fateful day. It was hard to forgive and move on, but today we have forgiven as Christ has taught us to forgive and that's the best thing we could do. A memory never to be forgotten but forgiven.

Thank you for covering all these histories.

These Stories should remind us,as indigenous people of this land, to keep ourselves reminded of where and how we came from. Not to spread hatred but to keep ourselves aware about what rights we have and how we deserve so much more

Armies are at 100% wrong. The atrocities our fathers , brothers n sisters faced cn never be forgiven n forgotten bt our so-called freedom fighters are a lost cause now , I think all ta pains n sufferings our fathers n freedom fighters faced are all goin in vain , now everything is about comfort ,money n power. Rest in peace to all ta souls that perished for us.

On that day, i was in the village. Heard it later on when our family had returned to the town. I was a young boy at that time, but i knew about the disaster. It was very heartbreaking too.

Share as much we can.... Let the world see this video

My uncle was also a survivor of this day but even today he faces lots of problems due to the injuries of that day

It's sad how the Indian Armies treated us for fighting for our rights. During Emergencies, the Indian Armies separated the Men and Women just to kill the Men and raped our women. All the Nagas should read the poem called "Kelhoukevira" by Easterine Kire. It's a very touching poem. If u read the poem and don't boil your blood, u are not a Naga. Bye

I thank God, even my father survived that black day.

It's painful the story make my eyes in tears....thanks for sharing ur story 🙏🙏

This is so heartbreaking 😭

No one will forget that day it's still like yesterday i was there on that day i was young boy of 20 yrs

27th December, a day never to be forgotten 😌

literally cried listening this story of pain and servival ❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭😭😭

Wow… this was worth watching! Good job

That transition from 11:40 into 12:20 is so well thought of. Excellent all round!

😢Thank you for your initiative to bring remembrance to new generation

" Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me."

Atrocities of the Indian Army must be made known to the whole world.

I use to tell people we need lot to discuss. But people are busy with Japan Korean American things. Thank you team

This generation must live in love. Thank you for documenting.

So heart touching 💔how I wish we HV movie on this

This is so Emotional🥺 Documented very Well.

Even after a long gap 27 Dec still linger in my mind and heart

To be honest in my personal opinion, Ao Naga Tribes are the boldest people amongst our whole Naga Tribes. Ao are the real warriors amongst all the Naga Tribes. No doubt they are the most advanced tribe amongst the nagas tribes. Beautifully and emotionally captured documentary. Those were the days where our Naga freedom fighters were genuinely fighting for the real causes.

Thanks for your documentary video. Very sorry for my brothers and sisters dead and alive.

I remember to this day also i was infornt of the Classic bakery when the firing started with my Dad lucky we ran n rchd home safely bfr the situation become worst

That day I was inside my house shivering and I was very young.

It's good to know that these incidents are being documented.... Much needed for posterity...

Thank you for sharing 😭i was born and brought up in mokokchung😭

After all this we have faced...are we surrendering to them for money???

Very important to tell these stories.

😭😭😭😭

Good luck for next day, i support you Nagas I'm from Meghalaya

💔🕯️

I never forget the the pain of my grandfather suffered years and years before he die

Well appreciated for documentation and the video graphics really good 👍🏻 can't watch this though 😢 😞

💔💔😭😭😭

This is painful. Really sorry for that.

💔😭

😭🤧

Wow this story make me emotiona🥺😥

Though it's painful we must open up,we must speak up...India must listen.Time has come...🙏🏻

😭😭😭

It gives me immense pain to hear the atrocities being inflicted by these INDIAN ARMIES. I was just a child when this had happened and I do remember a smidge of this incident narrated by my parents. My own Grandfather was a victim of these so called “Friends of the hill people” we was forcibly taken from his house on the suspicion that he was involved with the underground and was beaten up so badly however on the contrary my Grandpa didn’t even know how to pad a gun. Yes, it won’t be easy to forgive them of their actions but I believe God our Father in Heaven knows every bits of how and what they have done to our people. I forgive them not because I want to but my God wants me to do so. I just hope that peace prevails in our land once and for all in the name of Jesus.

😭

I can understand what you guys might have gone through...i was also living there and was studying in EKG school now i think my school name has changed to town higher secondary school,it was very terrifying..there are many memories of that day on my mind...coz it our winter vacation holidays..

💔💔💔

Requesting @takeonenagaland to do interview on kejanglwa village too. Lest we forget✌️🍁

What a dark day, was n t centre of the action, my family was taken from home to t police point n while on t way I saw no 11 year old boy would ever dream to see, remembering that day it still haunts me....

Rise up Patriots. How long must you disappoint the righteous cause that many sacrificed their lives for. May God grant peace and blessings to our fellow Ao Martyrs and their loved ones.

Damnn i remember this incident.....i was 8 years old😭😭😭😭😭

Thanks for take one Nagaland for narrating what happens in that faithful day to our present generation.

I remember me and my friends watching black smoke rising in mkg from my village wondering its causes, later in the evening I learnt about the tragic incident.

I could literally say it with all my might ... AYAATaii.. Never to be Forgotten 27th Dec

😥

😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢let the story be told and be known to the younger generation 😢😢😢😢it was indeed so dark

🤧🤧

😢

We just can't swallow the inhuman act and the horrifying moments. This is a good effort to keep the history alive. The young generation should be told and be informed! ❤

I deeply mourn for the Naga people lost in that day, I deeply cried with my bottom of my heart. Since I am from ur neighbouring state which make me curious, pls reply me what was the cause of the big incident. I was born after 10 yrs and no one knows about that

Even if we were not there that day.. we must never forget

...was trying to fix a frame and thinking or should I go to the shop first (located in the police point) that's when I heard the gunshots😶, something I'll never forget about the atrocities committed by the Rashtriya regiment😡

Ayatai!!!

Wat happened on 27 dec, m hearing this nw only

I can't listen to this it just make me go emotional and at the same time I just feel like taking revenge. Even if we have forgiven it is not forgotten.

Naga's will remember the dark history, for many have chosen to forgive but none could forget the atrocities the Indian military have commited. It's enraging, blood boiling shameful act done to our brothers and sisters. May peace prevail may we have the heart to forgive but the scars too deep cannot be erased.

I will never forget 27.12.1994

We must not forget the history. It should not be repeated. # it pierce my heart. # Till now the trauma compelled me to hate Indian Army.

Glad this documentary was made to remember the sad episode of our nation! God bless the souls!

5 years old remembering every details heads off

👌👌👌👌✨

I remember that day...me and my brothers out on a field playing when gunshots filled the entire town...a pre-planned attrocity meted by the Indian Army. I hope karma knocks on their doors!

What is the issue about.

What i learnt from this horror incident is we Nagas needs Unity !!

I don't remember the year as I was merely 7 years old, one of my cousin escaped from Mokokchung town that very night and reach my home at night fearing the curfew ,recalls the incidents narrate by him 😭😭

My brother was also stuck there on that day but somehow he manage to escape from that spot.

If you reading this , Vv I miss you ..Hope in life we meet again ..hope you are doing well ..Vv

I will never forget that day.
