Background
- Naga Hills were annexed into British India in 1881.
- Naga Club formed in 1918 which aroused Naga Nationalism.
- Under Angami Zapu Phizo, Naga National Council(NNC) was formed and armed insurrection began.
- Nagaland got statehood post independence in 1963.
- Shillong Accord was signed in 1975 to reduce the tensions and the insurgent groups.
- Shillong Accord was strongly opposed by Phizo, Isak Swu and Muivah. This led to the formation of National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN) in 1980.
- Maoist ideology was adopted by NSCN and emerged as a dangerous insurgent group.
- In 1988, NSCN split into NSCN(IM) IM stands for Isak Muivah group and NSCN(K) [led by S.S. Khaplang (Myanmar-based)].
The NSCN was formed in 1980 but split into two groups in 1988, one led by the Myanmar-based S.S. Khaplang and the other by Isak Chishi Swu of Nagaland and Thuingaleng Muivah of Manipur that called itself NSCN (I-M).
