Indias Northeast is the location of the earliest and longest lasting insurgency in the country, in Nagaland, where separatist violence commenced in 1952, as well as of a multiplicity of more recent conflicts that have proliferated, especially since the late 1970s.
Internal conflicts in Indias Northeast are overwhelmingly conceptualised within the framework of unique ethnic identities that are threatened by, and in confrontation with, the nationalist state, which is often seen as a representative of an inchoate cultural mainstream.
Since Indias Partition in 1947, a continuous flow of illegal migrants across the borders has disturbed the local demography and popular sentiments against the foreigners led to a mass movement seeking the detection of illegal immigrants, their deletion from the voters list and their deportation to Bangladesh.
