Naga separatist movement
The Naga separatist movement seeks independence for the Naga people, an indigenous group primarily in northeastern India and parts of Myanmar. Historically, Nagas have valued their distinct identity, culture, and autonomy. After British colonial rule, Nagas desired a separate nation, leading to conflicts and violence with the Indian government. Over time, negotiations resulted in some autonomy through agreements like the 2015 Framework Agreement, but full independence remains unresolved. The movement reflects ongoing negotiations between respecting Naga identity and sovereignty while integrating into India, highlighting complex regional and political issues.
