Peace Accords in Assam Transitioning Counter-Insurgency from Armed Operations to Dialogue-Based Approaches

Author(s) Mr. Jwngsa Basumatary, Dr. Mahan Borah
Country India
Abstract Assam is a state comprised of multi-ethnic group with each ethnic group having their own hope and aspirations. In this scenario it is the responsibility of the government that each ethnic group is provide equal opportunities, facilities, proper distribution of the resources and so on. But it is observed that the state could not facilitate the needs, protect ethnic groups from social, economically, political and cultural deprivation. During 1980s Assam witnessed the rise of insurgent movements driven by the desire to protect ethnic identities and seek autonomy and from 1980s itself the signing of accord could be seen in Assam. In response, both central and state governments launched various counter-insurgency measures leading to signing of ceasefire agreement or the Peace Accord which was sometimes not successful. Over time, peace processes, dialogues, negotiations emerged as a key strategy to foster stability and address the demands of different insurgent groups. However, in a very short span from 2020, Assam has seen several peace accords signed with groups such as the Bodo, Karbi, Dimasa, and Adivasi communities. This study tries to understand the transition in addressing insurgency from armed to dialogue based approaches and additionally the study also tries to examine whether these peace accords represent lasting solution for peace in the region or if they serve primarily as political tools offering limited infrastructural and financial incentives to temporarily suppress demands.
