- On March 5, 1995, Kohima town came under heavy firing when a convoy of the 16 Rashtriya Rifles mistook a tyre burst of their own truck for an ambush. For two hours, random firing and mortar shelling continued. This claimed the lives of seven innocent civilians. Several citizens caught in the firing were injured, some hampered for life. Many people including children were affected by fear and trauma from the experience.
Even the retelling of the incident gives chills; I can't imagine how much trauma still lingers on in the minds of those who were affected.
This brought back haunting memories. So glad this is told for everyone to relive and learn once again. History should not be forgotten. Thank you Take One team for a brilliant take on this. Forever fan!
My mum was just 2 months shy of delivering me. I cannot imagine the shock & trauma my family had to endure. This is truly such a wonderful piece. Lest we forget.
Our grief has always been our own. Our pain, private. And yet, when the same abuses keep happening again and again, you need to share it, if only to stop the aggressor. We recognize it is no longer a personal matter when the whole community cries. It is this collective grief that we hope to channel for good, for the sake of the future generations. Thank you Sesino and team for helping us share our stories. It is not easy but it is worth it.
I can never forget how me and my siblings hid underneath our parent’s bed, while they were away to attend a meeting after the church. It was such a traumatic event most people can never forget. The date, the day, the year, remains sharp in our memory. Coincidence is that, I was still talking about it with mom yesterday (5th March 2022), not knowing this video existed. Thank God for this.
what happen and what's the cause
I wasn't even born then, and what I feel may be far less than what people who lived during that time must have felt and feels till this day; gripping storytelling, I felt all the emotions. Thank you for educating us in your unique way, Take One. Lest we forget!
Really appreciate the efforts for documenting this.
Such tragic stories. Terrible what the people had gone through at that point of time.
True stories from the voice of the experienced hits different. "Forgive but never forget". A history to remember indeed for everyone.
Beautifully produced🔥
I'm glad I watched this. Thanks for making this. Thanks to the person who shared this to me. It's haunting yet beautiful.
The memory is very vague, I was about 4 years old. I remember being told to hide along with the other neighborhood kids. I had forgotten about this incident and at that time I barely understood the situation. Reflecting on it now, I feel so lucky for me and my family's safety and saddened for the people who lost their loved ones.
“LEAST WE FORGET”.
Ohhh Poor souls💔my prayers to those families…who had to face this unjustifiable brute experience…
I can’t imagine losing my family like this..must have taken a lot of strength to accept the reality….Especially must have been a painful journey mentally..!
Thank you for Documenting on this incident they deserve to be remembered..! 🕊
Thank you for the video. So many memories of that dreadful day
I wasn't born during that time, but the pain they had to go through is really saddening.
An incident that should never repeat again. God is with us ❤️
Thank you Take One for yet another soulful story. Deeply moved. God bless and take care of our land 🙏
I was five at that time but I still remember that Sunday. Our house was located on the highway just above the present KC’s kitchen, Old Minister’s Hill. The whole family was watching Star Trek. When we heard gunshots, everyone lied flat on the ground till they came barging in the house. We were ordered to go down on the highway, still remember my mother carrying me on her back, not knowing what was even going on.
Thank you for sharing this story! Painful...May God bring healing in our land!
Thank you #TakeOne Nagaland for documenting this. May the compensation for all the loss come from the Lord in the form of peace and joy to the people of Kohima.
A year before I was born. Knew nothing about it untill today.. A prayers for those families who lost their loved ones back then. You are brave and God has protected you till today. Be blessed🙏.
Chills. The music, the storytelling, the cinematography. We will never forget 🙏✨
March 5 1995 was the day i was born this was the horror my parents still tells me, I'm really sorry to hear what you all have gone through the day I was born may God's grace be upon each and everyone of your family members.
Hope the children's of those jawans involved get to hear these cowardly acts commited by their self declared Hero fathers..
They will remain Cowards forever!
My mother just narrated her experience, I had never heard of this incident before. Remembering all the lost souls.
So sad to hear that touching story !!
Thank you "Take one Nagaland" for making this happen, and letting us know the stories of our people, the hardships that they'd undergone. Can't even imagine the pain they've experienced, however believing that God is in control of everything.
Keep up the good work👍
Life is so unfair. Upholding that the deep deep pain finds way to newer understanding of the thing call life. Soothes me away with the soulful tune at the end.
Sad to know the news lately but good that you guys makes the documentation. 👍
This is world class videography. Everything is just so artistic and very mellow, it's treat for the eyes too!
Underrated people ase hoh💙
Such a tragic story.
I can still remember the smell of that alcohol on their breath, when they threw a 8 year old me to the ground from my bed. Beautiful done @sesino and team.
🥺💙
They were animals ruthless.
A big thanks to the TakeOne Nagaland team, you're doing a great job!👍We need to share this as much as possible and let the whole World know the atrocities committed to our innocent people!
this gives me goosebump🥺
This is really a heart breaking moment.
I'm so speechless right now.
My mum was just 1month shy from delivering me. She tells us how she and my elder brother hid inside the bed not knowing what will happen to us. She recalls of how bullets and bombs landed near her. She was traumatized which in turn effected me since I was still inside the womb. And growing up as a child I sometimes get terrified of people and little sounds for no apparent reasons. Thank you to the team for bringing out this video 👏👏
Peace be with you all
I still remember how the police personals came and took me to the hospital to my injured family members. My mother was lying half dead, my two nieces unconscious n injured with blood stains, swollen and disfigured. I was told that my niece the one who died on the way to the hospital was well and taken home, but I didn't believe them. I also thought that my nephews and my brother and sis inlaw had lost their lives 💔 because they were not there when I reached the hospital. They had taken their dead daughter/sister home.
It was most horrible. I get teary when I recollect that incident. I don't want to even think about it 💔
Its okay, jst forget it,.. like a bad dreams, u will get what you hav lost and only that you will get more❤️ believe in the creator and ask for what you need
@@stonereazy2671 yes you are right, God had been great to my family ever since and yet it's difficult to forget
So painful,may the lords healing be on you and your family
💔I can’t even imagine the trauma of going through this…so sorry for what happened to them, what they and you went through..
And you losing loved ones like this…!💔
@@stonereazy2671 do u think its that easy to forget please be mindful of your words.
Indeed a page from a dark day in the past. Great work from the creators. Power to you ✌
Keep it up Take One Nagaland
Please continue this initiative we, Nagas have a short memory. Oting is a painful reminder for us all.
Please cover other massacres and incidents.
We should never forget ever.
Am I too ignorant or too lacking in my own history. This is the first time I heard about this incident.
There's much more
The rapes are still not discussed
Don't forget that 300 thousand innocent Nagas has lost their life in the hands of these terrorist Indian Army.
They have literally wiped 50% of Nagas population during 50s and 60s
@@robustanybody5138 sad but true
@@notanidiot5166 source for this claim? I dont doubt it but it helps if i have sources. F*ck AFSPA
Casualties could have been much greater had it not been for d unsung hero ,the then DGP ,Chamanlal,who boldly faced the ire n wrath of d rashtriya rifles n insisted on taking the the victims to the hospital in his own vehicle,laying his life on the line to protect the public. God bless him ,wherever he is today..
I still remember vividly that day as we hide to listen to the sound of the gunshots for hours. Though it was difficult times those days and we hear regular gunshots every now and then but we had never heard guns fired for so long, we were sure that a full scale war was going on in BOC area only later to be told that it was all caused by a tyre puncture!!!
Omg it literally made me cry wow ❤
RIP to all the deceased and God bless all the people and families who survived the devastating ordeal.
A similar incident happened in Mokokchung too when I was still a kid.
beautiful documentary 🙏lots of love from Manipur 🤍
I have also seen and face that terrified situation 😔when I was in akuluto town😭thank God now it's peaceful
Watching this from another state and still remember this horrific incident. My mum, bro n sis anxiously crouched and waited for it to be over as every now and then mortar shells were falling on our roof. And after few minutes we heard that our Lotha neighbour had lost their daughter n his mother also injured and we just couldn't go and console them was so heartbreaking. I know what you are talking about uncle.
💔💔💔💔💔💔
cant imagine 😢😢
It breaks my heart yk💔...
They released THE KASHMIR FILES
NOW IT'S TIME FOR NAGALAND FILES
Indian govt will pay no heed. The bloodshed is yet to come more... Until the integration spirit is killed n crushed they will continue this genocide. Yet we nagas r divided amongst ourselves....
Why stop at Nagaland? There should also be Mizoram files, Manipur files etc
Disheartened and angered to learn all these...
Powerful
Listening to the real story after such a longtime since i feel crying
If tyre blast blast is enough to trigger their chicken heart then how will they fight real war, especially the Chinese PLA? Truly annoying to even be retold of these kind of atrocity meted upon us.
Support Chinese PLA anyday against devil Indian army
Yes I remember too, Was 5 years Old at that time. I Was playing with my nephew in a nearby ground when suddenly it started. The Army fired motor shells randomly anywhere n everywhere. My family came out to get us, we were shocked by their expression that we could not walk an inch, they carried us. Then all of us lock ourselves in the bathroom, kept Praying. A painfull time to recall. A traumatic experience for everyone who was a part of that.
This is so sad....😭😭 may they all rest in peace.
I am extremely ashamed and want to apologise for the massacre caused by those corrupt devil men in arms. I am from Uttarakhand but I have lived abroad and Japan is my favourite. After living there, I came to realise the importance of human freedom and true happiness alongside many changes in my thinking and personality.
I hope God will punish those devils for their crimes against innocent humans including children. I love North East India but at the same time if many Naga people do not want to be part of India then it should be accepted by the central government and the state government of Nagaland should support the freedom movement.
If we are not happy by being a part of a nation because there is no development, no jobs, and no growth in human life then what value will the state gain by being part of any nation? Now Russia is doing the same thing to Ukrainians against their will, in the Baluchistan province of Pakistan, many people do not want to be part of the sinking economy of Pakistan and have even picked up arms and killed many corrupt/devil Chinese and Pakistani civil servants and army men who are doing unauthorised development in that region because Baluch people want their province to be an independent and much better place from Pakistan. Similarly, in China, the people of Tibet, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia and now Hong Kong are suffering.
I hope the Naga government supports Naga freedom because there is no use in being part of any nation if that place has experienced some torturous treatment by the army and no development for many years.
Love to all wise, compassionate, merciful and honest humans on Earth. In human freedom, we find ourselves and in the place of freedom, we gather all those who think like us and form a country of dreams. Even in my state, all I see is police patrols more but less development and creating more control and fear among common people who feel threatened instead of feeling safe by seeing police because some of them are criminals in uniform.
Shameful
This is a good channel 👍. New subscriber here.
I heard many about this and also torturing our people, killing rape Chaos etc.
It boils my blood when i think about this.
I was born on 15 june 1995.
Me and my mom were at home and we thought it was crackers, luckily even though we were close by from the firing area, there was no line of sight so we were pretty safe.. this brings back memories that should never have happened. Chilling, haunting nightmare.
Goosebumps 🥺 Thank you for sharing! @takeonenagaland
Goosebumps 😞 I was not born yet still it chills me down, sorry to hear such awful moment
I ws away in my boarding school..got a call 4m Nagaland..my uncle's family ws hit by a stray bomb..his mom lost her arm n his young kids were injured too...hw can we forget tat day😢 it's still raw...
The torture humiliation hardships misery perpetrated upon by the foreign indian armed forces can never be forgotten.
What about 27dec 1994 in Mokokchung.
Trending on your content creation and subject content. 👍👍👍
Heard about a similar incidence fron my parents but dont know about it clearly
I believe they lived in Chandmari area that time.I wasn't born yet.I was to be born on 24/06/1995
This is horrible and heartbreaking.My heart goes out for all the families who suffered and losed their love ones.
it shook me to learn about their stories and
i am so saddened by listening to their stories ..
I as a father can imagine the sadness of losing a daughter and just the thought of that is so unbearable and to know that my dear have gone through it is so saddening.
I can only pray that God comforts you ...
Also it is high time we nagas forget the money and starts thinking about the future of our kids and what kind of world we are going to keep for them .
God bless my Nagaland

Barbaric cowards! That is what those army men were. Killing innocent civilians!! This makes me so enraged.
What bullshit training did those nincompoops even receive to be not able to scope out a threat
This dark event should never be forgotten. Thank you for making this wonderful piece of film. 🙏🙏
#lestweforget
Because of all those gruesome act that brought down in the history, in fact the heinous killings, I literally cannot except till today as Indian. I still vividly remember my mom will scary me to sleep 🛏 by using the name ‘Army’ it is fear more than Devil and that’s true to most Nagas back then. History will Remain!
Bro Make a documentary for Oinam Hill Village senapati too... though now many have expired there are some few of them willing to share their stories of the infamous "Bluebird operation" 9th july 1987.
Kindly share the original track of the song... Sooo good. Fits the story.
Dont know what to say. Born on 2001 I never came to know about this incident and maybe like more of this type but now through this small documentary what i have seen learnt I just Can say sorry for the human from a human behalf of some human 💔 It will be false to say i can feel your pain because I can't no one can feel what you guys feel at that very moment also after the years so just praying for every good possible for you guys
Same bro....born in 2001 as well. I think I will try asking my parents the next holiday i go home from college.
Who might be those evil army 😤
We should not leave them,but now toh I can do anything to help it out... My support will always be their for the Nagaland
Wounds will heal.....but scars remain.
Sad thing is that not much has changed still now....... Take Oting incident for example...
Sadness has no words to describe the attrocities of the indian army and their cowardice. I was very young too and I remember this day vividly. I did not know until this story about the loss and that many had been affected. My deepest Condolences to the families. I will remember each and every hardship that Our Brothers and Sisters had to go through in every walks of theirs, and my Life.
Please visit phor village too
😢
Please update the incidence of 27Dec 1994.
Absolutely disgusting and horrific . I couldn’t even imagine how the people suffered under the military terrorism. Countless act of genocide and terrorism have been conducted by the military terrorist in the north Easter regions and countless lives lost. Hope the sins of the fathers and their forefathers are all reaped down their generation untill the debts are cleared tenfold .
They will rot in hell for eternity
@@greenscenery1974 absolutely right .
The sins and curses of those murderers who killed our innocent people will surely pass on to their generations.... In the end of the day, what they sow the same seeds will be reaped.
☹️
Still Naga's are in that awe of those days 😢 ... Oting massacre
Rashtriya Rifles the Coward Rifles
Extremely sad! May the gracious Lord abundantly RESTORE happiness & total healing on the victims of this vicious atrocities committed by indian RR. May God keep blessing them who shared their stories. Amen🙏
😓😓🙏
😭😭😭😭😭
Nice 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 one
Thank you for documenting one of the many Indian army atrocities in naga soil!
I was there just below the naga hospital making us to kneel sometimes /sit sometimes for a long time by those forces on that sunny Sunday. Threatning us to shoot... I remember that sunday
What was the reason for the gunshots and threatening by the army??
They were coming from Imphal and was reaching Kohima town, when one of the convoy vehicles' tyre bursted they started shooting randomly thinking that the naga insurgents were shooting at them.
we are not safe in ne states,as well in this country.
I still remember that day …I was 6 years old hiding inside the bed…fire took place just few minutes away from my home old minister’s hill….past is past I can forgive but il never forget…
Strength to the Nagas. As a kashmiri hindu, the indian army practically saved us from isl@mic terro rism. But every coin has 2 sides. So, yes what they did in nagaland is something they should be punished for SEVERELY. I don't know if this matter was taken to the court but if not then it should be.! The national media mostly ignores the NE.
Representation and justice is very important. I hope your story comes out as well like my community's did in the form of a biographical film..
Thankyou 💙for your empathy and understanding.
@@munchkin54 I understand as a fellow human being.. But what's the way out of this? Can i ask you..? I mean is there any solution or the independence of the Nagas is the only way?. Genuinely asking this question. I'm also watching a documentary on the Nagas, someone in the comment section recommended..
See we are also confused.
1. Our leaders refuse to unite for a solution and have seperated into Factions.
2. India plays dirty divide and rule politics
Nagas are not just in NAGALAND(It is a artificial state created only in the 1960s) it did not include other Naga Hills which are now present in Manipur, Assam and Manipur.
3. India launched several military operations against Myanmar Nagas.
Now Myanmar Nagas live in pitiable conditions. It breaks my heart to see my people suffering this way.
4. India never acknowledges its wrongdoings they continuously paint NAGAS as bad and violent.
Its true to some extent because even our Militants committed many killings. But India started the whole mess.
There is no reconciliation without Truth.
Yes,bring out biographical films,and create hatred amongst the people,that's what your film makers are very good at and on top of that your dung filled headed RSS hindutva creatures will go on rampage on everyone in everything.
@@munchkin54 oh ok.. Got it. My friend went to Nagaland in 2018-19 and she mentioned once that the people are innocent but they are sandwiched between the army and the militants. The army who can't differentiate between the two. Maybe the locals are involved with the militants?? But she said that the people are warm. But most weren't well versed about what they want. Now, The least I can say is God Bless✨✨ the youngsters need to come out to tell their stories.
That's why , people from nagaland shoun't FORGET the past
