Nagaland Peace Accord and It’s Relevance in Contemporary Times

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