    The 72nd anniversary of NNC formation Day. The Naga Club was formed in October 1918, and the same leaders renamed the Naga Club as the Naga National Council (NNC) on the 2nd February 1946 at Wokha Town, Nagaland, and the Naga Club leaders became the leaders of NNC. The aspiration of the leaders was to safeguard the sovereignty of Nagaland in those days of changing world. Today, the 2nd February 2018 is the 72nd anniversary of the NNC formation Day. The achievements and history of the NNC. 1. With the formation of the NNC, all the Naga Villages were brought into a nation for the first time in the Naga national history. Before the formation of the NNC, each and every Naga village was sovereign and republic in itself. 2. The NNC blatantly rejected the Couplan plan of the British Crown Colony for the Hill people of Frontier areas, which was proposed by Sir Robert Reid and Sir Reginald Coupland in 1946, and thus the plan became non-starter. 3. On April 9, 1946, the NNC submitted a memorandum to the British Cabinet Commission Camp New Delhi stating that “The Naga future would not be bound by arbitrary decision of the British Government. And any recommendation without consultation would not be accepted. We have not deviated from the true path of national independence. We shall not betray our nation.” 4. On 27th March, 1946, the Naga National Council sent a letter to Lord Simon, House of Lords, stated that “we the Nagas made it clear to your Lordship and your Lordship’s colleagues in 1929 that we desire to be left alone in the event of the British withdrawal from India.

    Centre for North East Studies and Policy Research Jamia Millia Islamia New Delhi 110 025 Panel Discussion on ‘Understanding the Naga Peace Talks: The ways forward’ 28 September, 2020, from 2 PM onwards Join with Google Meet: meet.google.com/xoa-ucuk-jjg A Background Note The Naga movement for independence started around the time India won independence. The first ever peace building effort was made as early as in June 1947 through an agreement between the then Governor of Assam and the Naga National Council. The effort however failed to have any meaningful impact. Thereafter, the Naga National Council declared independence and claimed to have conducted a plebiscite for independence. The government was willing to give limited autonomy under the constitution of the country. The Nagas rejected the offer and boycotted the first parliamentary elections held in 1951. In 1959, the Naga People’s Convention adopted a resolution for the formation of a separate state. This led to the Sixteen-Point agreement to elevate Naga Hills-Tuensang Areas into a state known as Nagaland. But, the creation of Nagaland could not bring peace. Another agreement, popularly known as the Shillong accord, was signed in 1975 between the Government of India and the “Representative of the Underground Organisations”. It created a major rift within the Naga National Council which ultimately led to its split in 1980 with the formation of the National Socialist Council of Nagaland. Meanwhile, a ceasefire came into being in 1997 between the Government of India and the NSCN-IM, and separately with the Khaplang-led NSCN faction since 2001.

  • Naga Identity: Naga Nation As an Imagined Communities
    International Journal of Research in Social Sciences Vol. 8 Issue 2, February 2018, ISSN: 2249-2496 Impact Factor: 7.081 Journal Homepage: http://www.ijmra.us, Email: [email protected] Double-Blind Peer Reviewed Refereed Open Access International Journal - Included in the International Serial Directories Indexed & Listed at: Ulrich's Periodicals Directory ©, U.S.A., Open J-Gage as well as in Cabell‟s Directories of Publishing Opportunities, U.S.A Naga Identity: Naga Nation as an Imagined Communities Longkoi Khiam* T.Longkoi Khiamniungan* Abstract Nationalism, as a political phenomenon, has gained much currency in the last few centuries. It has aroused large collectives of people and has become the grounds on which economic, cultural and political claims have been made. The nation has also become a marker of identity for individuals and whole societies. In this paper, I would like to look at the beginnings and formation of Naga nationalism and the important economic, cultural and political claims it makes. The beginnings of Naga nationalism could be located in the specific encounter Nagas had with modernity via British administrators and missionaries. From the 1940s onwards, the claims made by Naga nationalism have been met with certain ideological and militarist response from the Indian state. The response of the Indian state has determined the subsequent efforts of the Nagas to define the contours of their nationalism.

  • Unit V 1. India As a Champion of World Peace and Justice A
    UNIT V 1. INDIA AS A CHAMPION OF WORLD PEACE AND JUSTICE A peace movement is a social movement that seeks to achieve ideals such as the ending of a particular war (or all wars), minimize inter-human violence in a particular place or type of situation, and is often linked to the goal of achieving world peace. Means to achieve these ends include advocacy of pacifism, non-violent resistance, diplomacy, boycotts, peace camps, moral purchasing, supporting anti-war political candidates, legislation to remove the profit from government contracts to the Military–industrial complex, banning guns, creating open government and transparency tools, direct democracy, supporting Whistleblowers who expose War-Crimes or conspiracies to create wars, demonstrations, and national political lobbying groups to create legislation. The political cooperative is an example of an organization that seeks to merge all peace movement organizations and green organizations, which may have some diverse goals, but all of whom have the common goal of peace and humane sustainability. A concern of some peace activists is the challenge of attaining peace when those that oppose it often use violence as their means of communication and empowerment. Some people refer to the global loose affiliation of activists and political interests as having a shared purpose and this constituting a single movement, "the peace movement", an all encompassing "anti-war movement". Seen this way, the two are often indistinguishable and constitute a loose, responsive, event-driven collaboration between groups with motivations as diverse as humanism, environmentalism, veganism, anti- racism, feminism, decentralization, hospitality, ideology, theology, and faith. There are different ideas over what "peace" is (or should be), which results in a plurality of movements seeking diverse ideals of peace.

  • Simon FRANK Columbia University
    133 A Nation at the Limits of State: The Colonial Heritage and International Reach of Naga Nationalism, 1945-1975 Simon FRANK Columbia University In its first decades of independence, India came quite close to the progressive West’s imagined ideal of a postcolonial state. The new state was democratic, secular, and gradually growing economically. True, the country was haunted by the trauma of Partition, conflict with Pakistan, and poverty, but these issues seemed fleeting in the optimism of early independence. So it seems surprising that some in India would rebel against the new state, seeking assistance not from Communists and other radicals, but the very same Western states that often sympathized with India. Yet this is precisely what the Naga National Council (NNC) attempted to do, in an armed independence struggle they actively led from 1955 until the Shillong Accord of 1975, but which continued under various successor groups until the first years of the twentieth first century. Led by Angami Zapu (AZ) Phizo, the NNC sought independence for the Nagas, an ethnic group comprised of a collection of predominately Christian tribes living in the isolated region along India’s northeastern border with Burma (now Myanmar) with an estimated population of 350, 000 at the time of the conflict (Neville 1973, 13). Today the area constitutes the Indian state of Nagaland. The Nagas attempted present their fight for self-determination as internationally relevant, but were held back by a combination of remoteness, a political message perhaps tied to their British colonial inheritance, India’s power, and internal divisions. Their critique of India came not through Leftist politics that would have found them friends in Moscow or Beijing, but in an argument of their fundamental cultural and ethnic difference from mainstream India.

Only 4% of Sri Lankans have a negative view on India, the lowest of all the countries surveyed by the Ipsos GlobalScan.[1] The two countries are also close on economic terms with India being the island's largest trading partner[2] and an agreement to establish a proto single market also under discussion at an advanced stage.[3] There are deep racial and cultural links between the two countries. India and Sri Lanka share a maritime border. India is the only neighbour of Sri Lanka, separated by the Palk Strait; both nations occupy a strategic position in South Asia and have sought to build a common security umbrella in the Indian Ocean.[4]Both India and Sri Lanka are republics within the Commonwealth of Nations. They have been however tested by the Sri Lankan Civil War and by the controversy of Indian intervention during the war. In recent years Sri Lanka has moved closer to China, especially in terms of naval agreements. India has signed a nuclear energy deal to improve relations. India made a nuclear energy pact with Sri Lanka in 2015.[ WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INDIA AND SRI LANKA? There are deep racial and cultural linksbetween the two countries. India and Sri Lanka share a maritime border. India is the only neighbour of Sri Lanka, separated by the Palk Strait; both nations occupy a strategic position in South Asia and have sought to build a common security umbrella in the Indian Ocean.

  • REVIEW OPEN ACCESS the Naga National Struggle, ‘Framework Agreement’ and the Peace Prospects Prof
    Dutta. Space and Culture, India 2015, 3:2 Page | 5 REVIEW OPEN ACCESS The Naga National Struggle, ‘Framework Agreement’ and the Peace Prospects Prof. Akhil Ranjan Dutta† Abstract The signing of the ‘Framework Agreement’ between the Government of India (GOI) and the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (Isaac-Muivah) on 3 August 2015 that pledges to restore ‘pride and prestige’ of the Nagas takes place after more than six-and-a-half-decades of violence and militarisation of the Naga society. The Agreement has been signed at a moment when the Naga society is marked by enormous fragmentation from within. While, the GOI through the creation of the state of Nagaland in 1963 and other initiatives created a local ruling class opposed to long-cherished Nagas’ demand for sovereignty; on the other hand, the tribes-centric proliferation of various insurgent outfits has created hostilities within the Naga society. The continuance of security apparatuses like Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act (AFSPA), 1958 and that of the top-down development paradigm has been in contrast to the social and cultural dynamics of the Naga society. The recent Accord, which has remained silent on those issues, however, has shifted the Naga national discourse from exclusive sovereignty of the Nagas in Nagaland to that of shared sovereignty of the Nagas within the Union of India. While, there have been celebrations of the Accord among the civil society forces in Nagaland spearheaded by Naga Hoho who for long have endeavoured to sustain ceasefires between GOI and the insurgent outfits in the state, there have, however, been serious reservations in regard to the efficacy of the Accord to restore peace, harmony and national pride among the Nagas.

TARIQ AHMED Department Of History, Department Of History Lovely Professional University, Lovely Professional University Phagwara -Punjab Phagwara- Punjab. ABSTRACT This research is made to understand how the Naga National Movement started, to examine the peace initiatives between the Government of India and the Naga leaders and also to analyze how affective the Naga National Movement has been. Here in this research we also try to understand the impacts of the Naga National Movement on the society and on the Naga people. Key Words: AFSPA, Insurgency, Nagaland, Naga Movements, NNC, FGN, NSCN-IM, NSCN-K INTRODUCTION Nagaland is a small state in the North eastern part of India. The Nagas lived in the North East hilly region of India and Myanmar. During the olden days, each Naga village was an independent republic so eventually the Nagas wanted to be free from all outside domination. Every Naga villages was independent and each with their own chiefs who acted as the leader, no other tribe had an interest in ruling over different or any other tribe or village. During an external aggression from foreign invaders all the Naga Chiefs collaborated and fought against the invaders. Nagas have been fighting to British and to the India & Burma for occupying their homeland illegally. The Naga nationalism first emerged in when thousands of Nagas participated in the British War efforts and saw action as members of the British Labor Force in France. However, having been exposed to the outside world and inspired by the material advancement, exposure to other cultures, and the reshaping of the political world by major movements.
