Abstract The Nagaland Peace Accord, formally known as the Framework Agreement signed onAugust 3, 2015, represents a pivotal chapter in the history of India’s internal securityand conflict resolution efforts. This accord, signed between the Government of Indiaand the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (Isak-Muivah) or NSCN (IM), soughtto bring an end to decades of violent insurgency and unrest in the Naga-inhabitedareas of Northeast India. Although hailed as a breakthrough, the accord has not led toa conclusive peace settlement, and the issues surrounding Naga sovereignty, identity,and territorial integrity remain deeply contentious. This paper delves deep into thehistorical backdrop, political intricacies, societal implications, and the contemporaryrelevance of the peace accord. It attempts to provide a comprehensive analysis of howthe accord was shaped, its partial successes, its unresolved issues, and its broader
impact on Indian federalism, ethnic politics, and regional security. Furthermore, thestudy includes case studies, stakeholder interviews, conflict statistics, and policyanalysis to enhance the depth of understanding. The relevance of this accordcontinues to evolve in today’s socio-political landscape, making it essential forcontemporary political discourse and policy planning.
