Overview

North-east India has been beset with insurgencies for more than 50 years. The Nagas rebelled in the early fifties and since then insurgency in some form or the other has spread to all the states of the North-east - popularly known as the Seven Sisters. This book takes a critical look at the many insurgencies in this strategic region and reviews their genesis, motivations and characteristics. Why have these persisted despite interventions by the State and civil society? Over the years, the insurgencies have developed external linkages, which have only complicated matters. The book also critically examines the government's response and traces the development of counter-insurgency strategies- from finding a military solution to winning the hearts and minds of the populace. It is a fascinating but sad story of missed opportunities.
