NEWS : Intransigence as villain of the peace?

Context:

The peace talks between the Government of India and the National Socialist Council of Nagalim

(Isak-Muivah), NSCN (IM), could not yield a peace agreement by October 31, the government‟s

deadline for concluding an accord.

History of Nagaland Insurgency

The British annexed Assam in 1826, and in 1881, the Naga Hills too became part of British India.

In 1946 Naga National Council (NNC) was formed under the leadership of Angami Zapu Phizo. It

declared Nagaland “an independent state” on August 14, 1947.

On March 22, 1952, Phizo formed the underground Naga Federal Government (NFG) and the

Naga Federal Army (NFA).

The Government of India sent in the Army to deal with insurgency and, in 1958, Armed Forces

(Special Powers) Act was enacted.

The Naga Hills, a district of Assam, was upgraded to a Nagaland state in 1963.


On November 11, 1975, the government got a section of NNC leaders to sign the Shillong

Accord, under which this section of NNC agreed to give up arms.

A group of about 140 members led by Thuingaleng Muivah, who were at that time in China,

refused to accept the Shillong Accord, and formed the National Socialist Council of Nagaland

(NSCN) in 1980.

In 1988, the NSCN split into NSCN (IM) and NSCN (Khaplang) after a violent clash. While the NNC

began to fade away, the NSCN (IM) came to be seen as the “mother of all insurgencies” in the

region.

Loopholes in the Naga Peace Accord

The foremost challenge of the peace accord is the framew

There is a demand for a separate “frontier Nagaland or Eastern Nagaland” under the aegis of

the Eastern Nagaland Public Organization (ENPO) which will undermine any attempt at making

one greater nagalim.

What Affects the Land of Nagas

Armed Cadres or Military Wing of insurgent groups remains Intact in-spite of Ceasefire and

despite Suspension of Operations and have not shrunk, neither their resources have dried up

which remains a constant threat to peace in the region.

Insurgent groups have become a way of life in the region, with every group running their

own parallel government and extorting huge amount of money from Nagas as well as non-

Nagas.

There are violent differences between the NSCN (IM) and the NSCN (K) led by S.S. Khaplang

which are a huge roadblock for any accord to succeed in the region.

Politics has played a far greater role in destabilising the region. Insurgent groups have been

used, raised and protected by political parties to settle scores or to come to power.

One of the major drivers of any insurgent movement is ideological belief and hope of

success. However, the Naga movement seems to have lost its original goals and ideological

stand on the basis of which it was initially established.
