The Naga Peoples' Convention

The Naga Peoples' Convention, held in 1957 in Nagaland, India, was a gathering of Naga leaders and representatives to discuss their political future. It aimed to unite the Naga community, address their aspirations for self-governance, and negotiate terms with the Indian government. The Convention played a key role in shaping Nagaland’s demand for greater autonomy and eventually led to the formation of the Naga National Council, which sought independence for Nagaland. It was an important step in asserting Naga identity and indigenous rights within India.
