Nagaland Rebels

There are several rebel groups operating in Nagaland, in northeastern India. These include

1. 'National Socialist Council of Nagaland (Isak-Muivah)': formed on January 31, 1980 by Isak Chishi Swu, Thuingaleng Muivah and S.S. Khaplang. They aim to establish a ‘Greater Nagaland’ (‘Nagalim’ or the People’s Republic of Nagaland) based on Mao Tse Tung’s approach. Its principles include socialism for economic development and a religious state – ‘Nagaland for Christ’.
2. 'National Socialist Council of Nagaland (Khaplang)': formed on April 30, 1988 because of differences among the Naga tribes. Its objective is to establish a ‘greater Nagaland’ comprising of the Naga dominated areas within India, and contiguous areas in Myanmar.
3. Naga National Council (Adino) – NNC (Adino): the oldest political Naga organisation, now lead by the daughter of Naga rebel A.Z. Phizo.
