To Preserve Is to Be Faithful: The Enduring Call of the Zomi Martyrs
In the history of nations, some moments define identity—and sacrifices that define eternity. For the Zomi people, that defining truth was written not in ink, but in blood. It lives in the courage of men and women who laid down their lives so that Zogam could rise—not merely as a land on the map, but as a nation born of conviction, faith, and unity.
Today, that sacred inheritance faces a greater test—not from bullets, but from forgetfulness. The Zomi martyrs gave their lives not for luxury or title, but for a promise—that their people would never abandon the ideals of justice, freedom, and unity. That promise is the beating heart of the Zogam Charter, and its symbols—the Charter and the Zomi Flag—are living witnesses of that vow.
The Sacred Principle: To Amend Is to Preserve—To Abandon Is to Betray
We live in a time when the temptation to compromise principles runs deep. But history demands clarity:
To amend is to preserve; to abandon is to betray.
An amendment is not a rejection; it is a renewal. The Zogam Charter, like the people it represents, is living—meant to grow, adapt, and endure. Those who truly understand the blood that birthed it know that to protect it is an act of faith. But to forsake it, or to distort its meaning for selfish gain, is nothing less than betrayal—betrayal of our martyrs, our mission, and our destiny.
The Charter and the Flag were not conceived in comfort; they were forged in suffering. They are not decorations of nostalgia, but declarations of duty. Every Zomi heart that beats for truth and justice carries the same moral burden—to defend them, honor them, and keep them undefiled.
Faithfulness: The Measure of a Nation’s Soul
Faithfulness is not a slogan. It is the soul of nationhood. It means standing firm when the world forgets, holding the line when others fall silent. Furthermore, it means guarding the sacred trust left in our hands by those who paid the ultimate price.
“Those who honor the Zomi heroes will guard the Charter and the Zomi Flag as sacred trusts, never to be traded.”
To be Zomi is to live as guardians of that trust. Faithfulness is measured not by words but by endurance—by the courage to protect our unity, to reject division, and to rise each time adversity strikes. The Charter is our covenant with destiny; the Flag is our banner of identity. To dishonor either is to wound the spirit of Zogam itself.
A Call to Conscience and Courage
The time for hesitation has passed. The Zomi cause cannot afford complacency, confusion, or compromise. We are called to rise again—not primarily with weapons, but with wisdom; not with hate, but with honor; not with fear, but with faith.
Let every Zomi—young or old, at home or abroad—remember this: our freedom is not inherited; it is maintained. Our Charter is not self-preserving; it is sustained by those who believe in it. Our Flag is not a symbol of the past; it is the pulse of a living nation.
If we do not protect what was handed down through sacrifice, we will lose not only a document or a flag, but the very essence of who we are.
So let us stand—steadfast, united, and unashamed—to defend the dream our martyrs died for. Let us renew our vow to be faithful stewards of the Charter, guardians of the Flag, and heirs of the Zomi vision.
To preserve is to be faithful.
To be faithful is to be Zomi.
And to be Zomi is to never betray!
