| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The North-Eastern region of India has been riddled with insurgency for decades. All the States in the region have witnessed some sort of insurgent activities. However, negotiated settlements and ceasefire
agreements between the insurgent outfits and the government have been able to curb the levels of insurgent violence over the years. After decades of insurgency, there is some semblance of peace in the region. But, this peace, by no means, looks permanent. With most of the major insurgent groups in the region coming overground, the void created is being quickly filled up by small, newly sprung outfits. Most of these outfits are anti-talk factions of other insurgent groups, who have formed a separate entity, opposing the peace mode adopted by the parent outfit. However, the group which is taking maximum advantage of this void is the Maoists, nicknamed the ‘Red Rebels.’ |
