India's north-eastern entry has been plagued by insurgency for a very long time. In this passage, analyze the main reasons for the survival of armed rebellion.
The North-Eastern region of India was historically practically cut off from large parts of India, due to which there was little cultural exchange. After independence, there have been many armed movements in this region on the grounds of creation of separate states, ethnic hatred, language, employment,interference in tribal rules, etc. Following are the major reasons for the continuous armed movement in the north-eastern states:
- Entry of Outsider's After independence, the local tribes resorted to armed rebellion,considering the outsiders raining in this area as a threat to their culture and security
- Continuing neglect of the needs of North-East India by the Central Government The North-East region was not adequately represented in the Parliament due to low population.As a result, this area was seen as neglected in national politics. As a result, discontent spread among the residents, which took the form of armed rebellion.
- Long and unsecured international border The north-eastern region of India 7 shares borders with countries like Bangladesh, Myanmar, Bhutan and China. Which is vulnerable in many places. Due to illegal migration, there is an additional burden on limited resources, which further limits the opportunities for the local people.
- AFSPA and misuse of military force Special Act was passed for the continuous prevention of violence in India after independence.But the local oppression was done by the military in the name of establishing peace, due to which the discontent among the residents increased.
- Effect of external factors: India's distant nations, such as China, Pakistan, etc.provide money and training to the rebels of North India. Foreign NGOs of Home Ministry report They are also doing the work of instigating people for arms in this area.
