THE YOUNGEST GENERAL OF NAGALAND
A BRIEF ACCOUNT OF THE LIFE AND WORKS OF LATE GENERAL KAITO SUKHAI (1933-1968) :

The nature has, by virtue of its discretionary entity sent forth geniuses at its appointed time and for its delegated tasks. Human world may inevitably appear to be crude and savage, full of greed, anxiety, and egoistic. Yet, to your consternation some exemplary personalities have lived and gone leaving behind their legacy of patriotism and authentic spirit of devotion to humanism.
This biography note is an humble attempt to pictures’ an illustrious legendary in the personal of Late General Kaito Sukhai, who had appeared in a spark of luminous comet with unmatchable glory that has gone for no return. Death man’s action speaks louder than the magnifying living proclamation in hypocrisy. He had lived action stuffed with indefatigable drive for national sovereignty.

If Abraham Lincoln was assassinated for his spirit of renaissance in America, Mahatma Gandhi for his relentless struggle for Indian solidarity, falling prey to partisans’ hands; Late General Kaito Sukhai had been misunderstood by fanatic assassins.

A man to be titled “Born General” exhibited that he was a different man right from his mother’s womb. I may be failing on my part for not being able to bring to light A to Z of embryonic development and its peculiarities. But his mother Kiholi knew all about it. Coincidentally, a seer (whose name was Alemtemjen of Longsa village happened to foretell the parents that a son would be born, and the multitude would follow him).

Born on May 22nd, 1933, at Ghukhui(native village) in Zunheboto district. He was the second son of Late Kuhoto Head D.B. of Kohima District and M.B.E. (Member of British Empire) by then. As an infant, carrying this genius to places against his liking would be madly protested by wriggling about, scratching and pulling the hair on the head.

Unlike any other’s food habits he would never go for fast food. He relished on cold food alone. His boyhood was full of military characteristics and leadership-making. One thing was always clear to him—he was never alone. It could be too early for a kid of his age to keep a band of boys accompanying him, but it was no child’s game. He really meant it what he was doing. No one could have guessed the future general was disciplining his compatriots because honestly to say, you could have estimated what he was doing was childish game.

Manifestation of leadership gradually rose to substantiality. In one incident he was asked by an army officer (British Allied Forces who were then camping in their village) to fetch water for him. This boy in turn ordered his followers to fetch water and he remained with the officer. The boys brought and he remained with the officer. The boys brought the water and keeping the water pots in front of the two stood in absolute army order formation. After a brief staying with the army officer the boys under the command of the little boss paraded off the camp. The second mark of impression the same army officer had gathered in another occasion was, when the boys were offer tested to fire the arm inside the trench other friends had withdrawn but he would not. He accepted the offer, took up the gun and prepared to fire inside the trench. The Allied Forces personal watching the scene were stunned unmistakably, who couldn’t help predicting the boy would become an excellent army officer.

General Kaito did not leave much about his education to relate. For his early schooling he was admitted in the Mission School, Kohima in 1940. But the World War II broke out after a few years and Kohima being the battlefield he left Kohima. In 1945 he joined his brothers and sisters for schooling who were then having their schooling at Atukuzu (now Satakha). General Kaito did his middle education at Satakha, then Class VII at Zunheboto. During his study at Satakha School he was the group commander of the boys scout. Whenever the School Inspector
