For long in our contemporary world the US dollar has been considered to be the second safest asset after Gold.
In the world of the human race - there has always been a third element
- 'my own man ... my villager' and so on.
In the land of the Nagas - no Zeliangrong youth ever made it to the presidentship of the influential Naga Students' Federation (NSF).
The NSF was established on Oct 29, 1947.
One veteran north-east watcher in the national capital region declined to comment (on record) on the seismic episode. He merely said --
"Like some good books, this chapter in Naga life should open windows of the mind".
Quite a powerful statement.
In any kind of elections - the real polity comes into play. That's 'power politics' in the corridors of movers and shakers. Hence students' union (federation) elections in Nagaland, Meghalaya and Assam have been key socio-political episodes in the past too.
In Assam, the AASU leaders floated AGP after they inked the famous Assam Accord with the Rajiv Gandhi government in 1985.

"Congratulations to Mr Mteisuding Heraang on being elected as the President of the Naga Students’ Federation for the tenure 2025–27. May he lead with dedication, vision, and strength, and may his tenure bring meaningful progress for the student community and the society at large,"

In the fiercely contest for NSF president's post there were four candidates.
Mteisuiding from All Zeliangrong Students' Union (AZSU) could humble three others in the four-cornered contest as he polled 14 votes, reports said.
Chumben from Lotha Students' Union managed 2 votes
Ineka Awomi from Sumi/SKK was the nearest rival of the new president as he polled 12 votes
and Benjong Lonchar from the Ao Students' Conference (AKM) finished third having bagged 6 votes.
There must be some long-term and short-term messages of this year's election for the NSF office bearers.
All eyes were on two candidates - as reports suggested - Ineka Awomi and Benjong Lonchar. And certainly they gave a good fight.
All elections leave an impact.
This year's election for NSF top executives assume significance as with any kind of electoral battle (small and big at the level of pressure groups like student bodies or business chambers) -- there may be a possibility of introducing 'untended' changes along with the intended transitions.
