In an endeavor to weave the threads of the nation’s fabric, Project Constitutional Justice (PCJ) orchestrated a Motorcycle Expedition under the theme, “Connecting Worlds – For the People, For the Nation.” This journey is sought to bring Eastern Nagaland into a closer embrace with Mumbai, while echoing the spirit of unity that binds all people.
Facing daunting challenges, the leaders of PCJ moved forward with five members for the expedition, the trials of the road eventually left only one member to carry the torch to its destination. Nasset Chollen, the head of the planning committee, commended the indomitable spirit that prevailed against the odds.
Embarking from Dimapur on December 18, 2023, the Motorcycle Expedition traced a magnificent path through the diverse landscapes of Assam, West Bengal, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh, culminating in the radiant city of Mumbai, Maharashtra on December 27. Dr. Aniruddha Babar, the lone rider, etched a remarkable tale of determination, conquering a formidable 3200 km distance in a solo odyssey.
Reflecting on the arduous journey, Nasset Chollen, Executive member of Planning committee of PCJ shared, “The trust bestowed upon us by the mission directorate, planning committee, and honourable district representatives of Project Constitutional Justice, combined with the unwavering support from generous donors across Nagaland, fueled our journey. Every contribution stands as a symbol of solidarity, echoing the resilience of those who endure hardships with hope for a brighter tomorrow.”
Speaking about the expedition’s deeper purpose, Dr. Aniruddha Babar said, “This is a tribute to the architects of ‘New Bharat’ hailing from Eastern Nagaland. It serves as a beacon, illuminating the stories of the invisible people—their struggles, dreams, aspirations, and their yearning to be an integral part of our great nation. Through this Motorcycle Expedition, we extend a heartfelt salute to the unsung heroes of Eastern Nagaland and strive to illuminate their narratives on the global stage.”

During the PCJ’s Motorcycle Expedition, Dr. Aniruddha paused for a night at Barkachha Kalan village in Mirzapur District of Uttar Pradesh. In an inspiring show of solidarity, local social worker Abhishek Tiwari in the village handed over a letter of support to Dr. Aniruddha, expressing goodwill towards the people of Eastern Nagaland.
The letter read, “My dear brothers and sisters of Eastern Nagaland, Heartfelt greetings to you. I, Abhishek Tiwari, along with my fellow villagers from Village Barkachha Kalaan, Mirzapur, UP, extend lots of love to the people of Eastern Nagaland. As a social worker and proud citizen of India, we may be separated by language and geography, but our emotional connect, love, and goodwill for our brothers, sisters, and elders in Eastern Nagaland are as strong as those with residents of any other state.”
According to the organizers, the journey which was marked by adversity and triumph, stood as an extraordinary testament to the resilience and determination of Project Constitutional Justice and its supporters.
