The book - "Narendra Modi And Naga Peace Accord" - is one of the most current Indo-Naga political development stories. It had briefly given how the Naga political movement began since a few educated Naga people submitted a Memorandum to the Simon Commission in 1929, and then the bold declaration of the Naga Independence on 14 August 1947 by the Naga leaders under the banner of the Naga National Council (NNC). The NNC leaders had done this after Indian leaders' unresponsive attitudes to their wanting to live as a free Nation. Whether one likes it or not, the decision of NNC leaders at that point of time in declaring the "Naga Independence" on 14 August 1947 became politically "historic and landmark." Till today, various Naga groups are observing the "Naga Independence Day" with great pride and honor. And the Government of India or for that matter the State Government of Nagaland has not prevented them so far from observing the "Naga Independence Day" in various Naga places. There were various occasions where many Naga leaders both overground and underground tried to solve the Naga political issue. Overground Naga leaders initiated process and even contacted NNC supremo, AZ Phizo at London. Several correspondences between many Nagaland politicians including Dr SC Jamir and Phizo were there. The emergence of Naga People's Convention (NPC) had changed the course of Naga history as they were responsible for the birth of a full-fledged Statehood of Nagaland in 1963. In the following year in 1964, ceasefire was declared between the Government of India and Federal Government of Nagaland (FGN) through the initiative of NBCC. Subsequently, talks were held for finding settlement to the Indo-Naga issue. The talks collapsed after six rounds. Then the Shillong Accord came in 1975. This Accord had done maximum damage to NNC. The immediate fallout of this Accord could be seen by the formation of another Naga underground group - National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN) in 1980. After about a decade, the NSCN got split into two in 1988 - one headed by Isak Chishi Swu and Th Muivah and the other by SS Khaplang and Dally Mungro. Following the split, hundreds of Naga underground cadres and high functionaries lost their precious lives due to factionalism. Sadly, it went on in large scale even after the Government of India's ceasefires with NSCN (IM) and NSCN (K). As far as the current status of the Naga political negotiation is concerned, solution to the extremely complicated Naga issue might come in anytime. The Government of India has already expressed "optimism" that solution to Naga issue will be arrived at soon. Soon after Narendra Modi became the Prime Minister of India, the political pundits in the Northeast began to think that some kind of political solution to the Naga political issue might come soon. Because Modi's style of dealing with the Naga issue is different than his predecessors. He allows Interlocutor, RN Ravi, to take decision on the Naga issue, although the contents of the "Framework Agreement" signed between the Government of India and NSCN (IM) on 3 August 2015 at Delhi is yet to be known. This book has been written mainly on the Prime Minister Modi's initiative to settle the Naga issue and hence named - "Narendra Modi and Naga Peace Accord." It is hoped that readers will find interest in it.
In recent decades, the states in the northeast of India have been home to a number of protracted violent conflicts. And while the role of women's movements in responding to conflict and violence tend to be marginalized both by the media and by scholarship, they have played a crucial role in attempts to strengthen civil society and bring peace to the region. This collection offers a close look at the successes and failures of those efforts, adding important insight into ongoing debates on gender and political change in societies affected by conflict. At the same time, the book takes a fresh, critical look at universalist feminist and interventionist biases that have tended to see peace processes as windows of opportunity for women's empowerment while ignoring the complexity of gender relations during conflict.
Northeast India has witnessed several nationality movements during the 20th century. The oldest and one of the most formidable has been that of the Nagas — inhabiting the hill tracts between the Brahmaputra river in India and the Chindwin river in Burma (now Myanmar). Rallying behind the slogan, ‘Nagaland for Christ’, this movement has been the site of an ambiguous relation between a particular understanding of Christianity and nation-making. This book, based on meticulous archival research, traces the making of this relation and offers fresh perspectives on the workings of religion in the formation of political and cultural identities among the Nagas. It tracks the transmutations of Protestantism from the United States to the hill tracts of Northeast India, and its impact on the form and content of the nation that was imagined and longed for by the Nagas. The volume also examines the role of missionaries, local church leaders, and colonial and post-colonial states in facilitating this process. Lucidly written and rigorous in its analyses, this book will be of interest to scholars and researchers of South Asian history, religion, political science, sociology and social anthropology, and particularly those concerned with Northeast India.
An immensely valuable and revealing book about the decades-long Naga national movement, containing interviews with leaders, ideologues and soldiers that have never been published before. This first-of-its-kind book tells the story of the Naga national movement from the inside. Based on extensive interviews of the Naga nationalists, conducted in the late 1990s in Bangkok, Kathmandu, Dimapur and Delhi, it explains why the Indo-Naga conflict has lasted more than seven decades, and why successive prime ministers of India, from Jawaharlal Nehru to Narendra Modi, have personally met the Naga leaders and tried to resolve the conflict. In Kuknalim, leaders and members of ten Naga tribes spread across India and Myanmar speak directly to the reader about their childhood experiences, reasons for joining the armed struggle, and their personal triumphs and tragedies. They recount their journeys from small impoverished mountain villages through the jungles of Myanmar to China--from where they carried back arms to fight for an independent Nagaland--and finally the journey to the negotiating table. These stories relate to the period of the Naga movement from World War II to 1997, when Naga nationalists under the NSCN (IM) entered into a ceasefire agreement with the Indian state and began peace talks. And in the introduction to the book and the different sections in it, the authors also write about subsequent events, besides providing the political context for each interview. A groundbreaking work, Kuknalim offers invaluable insights into the world of Naga insurgency and its geo-political significance. Without asking the reader to agree or disagree with the people and movement it profiles, the book also examines complex questions of identity politics; the role of religion in nationalism; and the sentiments that drive men and women to take up arms and endure extreme hardship in pursuit of their dreams.
In this book, author Bendangjungshi brings into dialogue the three leading Northeast Indian tribal theologians - Renthy Keitzar, K. Thanzauva, and Wati Longchar - with the Western theology of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who suffered martyrdom under the Nazi dictatorship in Germany. Negotiating between Bonhoeffer's political approach and Naga cultural identity, Bendangjungshi develops a liberating ecclesiology for Naga Christians, who have been suffering under Indian military occupation since the withdrawal of the British colonizers from Nagaland.
