How politics and government brings social issues in nagaland?
Answers
Nagaland consists of 16 distinct tribes living in 11 districts, collectively called Nagas in everyday language, who have a ‘distinct’ identity. Therefore, article 371(A) prohibits the Indian Parliament from making laws that meddle with the Naga customary law and practices, without the permission of the Nagaland State Assembly.
Given the ethnic diversity in India, “Why specific provisions for Nagas?” one might wonder. This is because unlike most parts of India, Naga National Council (NNC), which under the leadership of Angami Zapu Phizo, declared its independence one day before India gained independence—on 14th August 1947, and communicated the same to the United Nations. This was in sync with another Naga interest group asking the Simon Commission in 1929 to consider Nagas a separate identity from Indians. The rest of the story seems pretty obvious—Indian government refused the demand of a separate Nagalim state (which would include Naga-dominated areas of Nagaland, Assam, Manipur and also Myanmar). This fuelled an insurgency in the state, which compelled India to introduce AFSPA to neutralise the hardliners and article 371(A) to appease the separatist tendencies when Nagaland became a state in 1963.
