  • The Naga Conflict
    B7-2012 NIAS Backgrounder M Amarjeet Singh THE NAGA CONFLICT NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ADVANCED STUDIES Bangalore, India BACKGROUNDERS ON CONFLICT RESOLUTION Series editor: Narendar Pani This series of backgrounders hopes to provide accessible and authentic overviews of specific conflicts that affect India, or have the potential to do so. It is a part of a larger effort by the Conflict Resolution Programme at the National Institute of Advanced Studies, Bangalore, to develop an inclusive knowledge base that would help effectively address major conflicts of interest to the country. In pursuit of this objective it carries out research that could help throw up fresh perspectives on conflict even as it develops mechanisms to increase awareness about the nature of specific crises.The backgrounders form an important part of the second exercise. The backgrounders are targeted at the intelligent layperson who requires a quick and yet reliable account of a specific conflict.These introductory overviews would be useful to administrators, media personnel and others seeking their first information on a particular conflict. It is also hoped that as the series grows it will act as an effective summary of scholarly information available on conflicts across the country. By their very nature these backgrounders attempt to provide a picture on which there is some measure of consensus among scholars. But we are quite aware that this is not always possible.The views expressed are those of the author(s); and not necessarily those of the National Institute of Advanced Studies.The dissemination of these backgrounders to all who may need them is an important part of the entire effort.

  • An Empirical Investigation Ankush Agrawal
    Nagaland’s Demographic Somersault: An Empirical Investigation Ankush Agrawal Vikas Kumar Abstract Nagaland’s population decreased during 2001–11 after growing at abnormally high rates during the past few decades. This is the first time since independence that a state in India has witnessed an absolute decline in population. In this context, the paper examines the census population estimates for internal consistency. It also tries to validate the census estimates using information on birth and death rates from other demographic surveys and information on gross school enrolment (6–14 years population) and the electorate (adult population). The paper also checks if illegal/unaccounted international immigration and politically-motivated manipulation could explain the abnormal changes in Nagaland’s population. The paper shows that the Census substantially overestimated Nagaland’s population during 1981–2001 and, by implication, questions the sanctity of the Census. Keywords: Census, India, migration, Naga, over-count, political economy of statistics JEL Codes: J11, J13, 015, R23 1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We are grateful to Bina Agarwal, S. Chandrasekhar, R. N.

    xplorations e Vol. 2 (2), October 2018 E-journal of the Indian Sociological Society Article: Sovereignty Question and Culture Discourse: Interrogating Indo-Naga ‘Framework Agreement’ in relation to Naga Movement Author(s): N.K. Das Source: Explorations, ISS e-journal, Vol. 2 (2), October 2018, pp. 39-69 Published by: Indian Sociological Society 39 xplorations e Vol. 2 (2), October 2018 E-journal of the Indian Sociological Society Sovereignty Question and Culture Discourse: Interrogating Indo-Naga ‘Framework Agreement’ in relation to Naga Movement --- N. K. Das Abstract This article tries to decipher the key features of the ‘Framework Agreement’, the Indo-Naga Peace Agreement, which is said to be based on spirit of equality, and situate them in historical trajectory of earlier parleys, which were often disrupted. The article discusses briefly the major landmarks of Naga movement in historical sequence and the flexible relationships of the Naga leaders with Zeliangrong and Frontier Nagaland movements in order to gain the larger perspective pertaining to current peace parleys. It assigns greater space to historically evolved notion of Naga sovereignty and territorial-integration questions and positions them within the projected model of ‘shared sovereignty’. Since the agreement has explicitly acknowledged the primacy of culture as entrenched in the unique history of the Nagas, a critical evaluation of culture discourse vis-à-vis Naga nationhood is provided, demonstrating chiefly the indigenous scholarly perspectives. Key words: Indo-Naga (Framework) Agreement, Naga Movement, Naga Territorial Integration, Sovereignty, Zeliangrong Issue Indo-Naga Peace (Framework) Agreement, 2015: Challenges of Dialogue and Cooperation The Indo-Naga Peace (Framework) Agreement signed by R.N.
