Summary/Abstract

The signing of the ‘Framework Agreement’ between the Government of India (GOI) and the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (Isaac-Muivah) (NSCN-IM) on 03 August 2015, that pledges to restore ‘pride and prestige’ of the Nagas, took place after more than six-and-a-half-decades of violence and militarisation of the Naga society. The Agreement has been signed at a moment when the Naga society is marked by enormous fragmentation from within. The recent Accord, which has remained silent on those issues, however, has shifted the Naga national discourse from exclusive sovereignty of the Nagas in Nagaland to that of shared sovereignty of the Nagas within the Union of India. Two aspects of the Agreement have become public. It appears that the Indian Government has accepted the ‘uniqueness of Naga history and culture’ and the NSCN–IM has accepted the primacy of the Indian Constitution. The NSCN-IM had submitted a 20-point Charter of Demand in which it had suggested that relationship between India and Nagalim would be based on the concept of shared sovereignty and the principle of ‘asymmetric federalism’. The accord has far reaching consequences not only for Nagaland but also for other North East (NE) states. The potentiality of the ‘Framework Agreement’ to restore peace in Nagaland needs to be examined by a critical scrutiny.
